IM BACK 😁
***PROMO SPECIAL***
***Stay tuned for an announcent post for a big promo sale for March and April...***
Hey everyone - so its been a while since I have made any posts on my page or posted up any of my more recent work...
The truth is that I've lost all that roaring passion for what I once loved so very much... Over the last year I've found myself not finding any joy in creating my work anymore and its lead me to feel like this job is more of an unwanted chore than anything esle 😑... I know that work days arent always rainbows and butterflies, but I found myself at a point where I was absolutely dreeding the thought of taking on any orders whatsoever and in turn I started to accept orders less and less and not even posting up photos of the orders I was taking on because once the job was done I just wanted it away from my head space... Which is a real shame as there was a great deal of post worthy work in there 😑...
Anyways, after stepping back from the kitchen and taking sometime off and some time out to have a think about what it was that was missing and causing me to lose that joy that once soared through me - and trying to decide on if i wanted to continue on with this venture at all anymore... I came to the realisation that my joy became less and less because of the orders I was doing - I went from creating beautiful cakes inspired by what I felt in my heart, just like any artists does.. To taking orders where I was required to take on someone elses works of art and having to make my own work a replica of theirs instead of creating my own art... I of course always ask for inspo pics from my customers so i can be inspired for my own creations, but it went from "inspiration pics" to "I want this exact cake" - it took my freedom of creation away and as a result, I lost all the enjoyment it once gave me...
I of course want my customers to be happy and to give them what they want - its just that I also want to be able to put my own touches on it and trying to precisely copy someone elses work it a very stressful task to live up too... My joy came from *creating*, not from *copying* and I think thats where I've become stuck in my current feelings 😑.... My work ability just like with most others is always much better when Im not under consistent pressure, so when I had the creative freedom with also being able to pull some inspiration from elsewhere - my work was also much better 💞...
So, with all that said - (and thank you if you've read up to this point)... Ive come to the decision that I will be continuing my business venture in the cake world 💞 and I will still be doing custom cakes that are made just for you and your desires, I just wont be accepting orders for "I want this cake" and instead we will work together to make sure you're getting what you want but not copying the exact work of another cake artists... A win for all as the joy in my work will show in your order and you'll have a gorgeous cake that was created just for you 🥰...
To get me back in the kitchen and to get my creativity flowing again - I will be offering a big Promo Special for the months of March and April!!! Keep an eye on the page, all details for the promo will be posted up later this week 💖
