This week has been one of the hardest I have ever experienced behind the scenes…
14 years of bittersweet and this ongoing added stress is breaking me.
The hardest part is our trade has been picking up and we have so many new LOVELY regulars.
We were finally settling in to East Freo
It’s been a difficult to watch and listen as people are disappointed that we haven’t been getting anywhere near our usual production up.
6 day weeks and countless after hour visits to to the shop not doing baking or creating has slowly been breaking my heart.
It’s been months of juggling being a Mum, running a business and project managing issues beyond my control that have now affected my mental health.
Something had to give and Friday it was me…
It’s been an incredibly hard decision to make but i need to close the shop and take time to have the issues properly address whilst not jeopardising our business and putting unnecessary pressure on staff.
If you have been to bittersweet you know we all LOVE what we do..
all my staff are true industry professionals and just GOOD humans!!
I’m so lucky to have had them around me to pull me through.
Bonnie Kaue Nick (and my Nick!) Sian Chloe Jenny and my littlest one Liam you are truly the best sorts..
The laughs the love the support you all give to everyone you come across is so rare…truly. Thank you.
Xx Erin
