This is not so much a today mess up as a month long build to. Throwaway account sp that hopefully she doesnt see this. So back story.

I (f31) and my little sister (f27) work at the same store. I was at a different location but this year I transferred to the store she works at as a manager 3 levels higher than her. I have a degree in baking and ran a bakery for 5 years and my sister hates that I do because that is “what she wanted to do” as we both spent our childhood baking rhe grandma and it was always a special thing for us. It is always an argumentbetweenus about 100% from scratch (her side) or more times than none from scratch but always open to using mixes or pre formed product (me). At my old store I always made special treats for holidays or whenever I got stressed out. And my coworkers at my old store all loved my baked goods to the point that ot looked like the wildebeast scene from the lion king. My sister also did the same at her store

My sister expressed to coworkers when I moved stores that she was worried the people at her store would love my baked goods more than hers. Because of this, I just avoided bringing sweets all together and just kept them to neighbors or something of I was stressed.

It came to a head this month because for work we started our month long charity fundraiser. We were finally given permission to do a bake sale to raise money so I jumped in because I am used to mass production. So I made quite literally 200 dozen cookies (if not more), about 40 loaves of banana bread, peanut brottle, snack mixes of all kinds, and easily 45 dozen muffins over the course of a month. And whenever I brought product in, our coworkers would scavenge the boxes before even getting to the sell table and more times than none sold out of product within 12-18 hours. Meanwhile, my sister made cinnamon rolls and brownies and sold almost none in 2 days. She then went off in a huff, made a small scene about throwing everything in the garbage, and never brought product in again.

Now, the fundraiser is over so obviously the bake sale is done. But now she hears from all of our customers and coworkers about how amazing the food was and of ill ever make more. Several regulars came in asking for the recipes. My sister made a whole show and said “the stuff isn’t even from scratch”. Which is a lie and she knows it. The only thing that wasn’t 100% scratch was the muffins and it was still a dry mix. But one customer told her “I don’t care of it’s not from scratch, they taste delicious!”. And since then, she has not brought anything to work, doesn’t want to bake, and stopped talking to me about opening up her own bakery. I feel like an asshole but I also feel like she needed a reality check a bit.

Which by the way, I raised almost $6000 by myself with the food. And I spent some 200 hours of my own personal time for the month to make this stuff on top of my 50 hr a week job and 2 smalls kids. I am exhausted haha

TL:DR. Little sister hates that I don’t always make from scratch nor listen to her advice, then got butt hurt that my baked goods sold better than hers.
