Welcome to The Proof and Bake Club!

July 30, 2010:

                       (proofandbake.com)

The Proof and Bake Club is a private online community for individuals who want to enter the bakery/donut business or expand their knowledge of baking.

Members of the club can connect and network with bakery owners, experts, bakers and hobbyists worldwide through real—life streaming video, chat or forum.

The Proof and Bake Club provides a venue to ask bakery—related questions from experts within the baking community. Imagine the successes you will have!

My name is Ed Chastain. I have over 20 years experience creating donuts, breads and pastries by scratch. The Proof and Bake Club is my vision to bring bakers together from any skill level, worldwide. I accomplish this by providing a private member—only community with a dynamic communications website.

Club members can easily enjoy or create all the listed applications. No downloading software or programs is necessary!

Watch The Video Virtual Tour!

The Proof and Bake Club has something for everyone! Benefits and resources available within the baking community include: advice, business plans, lease checklists, free books, programs, tools and networking.

How does this work?

First, easily enjoy real—life audio/video networking with fellow bakers, worldwide. Yes, you read correctly! Communicate in real—time via voice, audio/video, text and streaming chat in our very own members—only forum.

Secondly, the heart and soul of Proof and Bake Club’s is its real—time audio/video networking with member bakers. Enjoy unlimited topics of interest related to your favorite hobby or passion. The benefit to you—the baker—is that you have complete control over your discussion.

Additionally, a popular media technique within Proof and Bake Club is members have the opportunity to upload video clips of the own baking experiences and skills. The video clips are included in our very own galleries of images and videos. Also, members have the option of creating audio which is published on a podcast on your very own member blog. These are uploaded to our MP3 gallery.

Another popular benefit to the Proof and Bake Club is creating a member—only “baker blog” to share with other members!

Do you like postcards? Imagine creating your own baking video/audio postcards to share with family, friends or other members. Proof and Bake Club is this—and so much more!

Are you interested?

Ed Chastain is the dynamic donut maker, forum administrator who created the Proof and Bake Club. Enjoy his expertise as a master baker in his own communications system.

Imagine enjoying real—time communication with other bakers or experts via audio/video, webcam or streaming video!

The vision of Proof and Bake Club is to create a baking environment where similarly passionate individuals can come together. The benefits of a master baker, experts, and worldwide members are creating successful baking experiences.

Come join us at the Proof and Bake Club!

One of the primary goals of the donut shop owner is to acquire donut wholesale and specialty accounts and even offer donut delivery accounts (Dailey contractual accounts) ensuring that the shop owner is growing his or her business rather than simply working the business day in and day out. The successful donut shop owner realizes the importance of growing one's business ensuring future prosperity and that brings us to hiring bakers.
