I don’t think this is JUST a home baker issue. I have another baker in town that’s my “backup buddy”. We cover for each other on the off chance one of us is too sick to complete an order. In the 3 years we have had this arrangement we have never called for backup. It has to be someone you trust, and someone at or above your skill level.
Hope you’re feeling better!
