Did you miss me?????
Well, it feels like a lifetime since we closed the shop to retire at the end of June when I posted here the last time! Since then, Lin and Paul have eased into their retirement, and I’ve taken the last few months to recharge my batteries and get used to not having the day-to-day pressure of running a cake business.
Those last few months of working were mad!!!! So many cakes, then clearing the premises that had been our home for almost 20 years was tough!!! But it helped to be so busy, I certainly didn’t have time to dwell on those cakes would be the last ones I would ever make to order! And saying goodbye to so many lovely customers was by far the hardest bit!!!🥹 But it was time to move onto something else not so pressured.
Now that I’m rested, I’ve finally got round to looking at the pictures of those last few cakes, which in itself was weird! I look at them now and think, did I really make all of those?…….of course I know I did! I also know how hard Lin, Paul and I worked to keep our exacting standards and customer service at the very highest level it could be and all the pressure that came with it……..If I had any doubts about did we do the right thing, I am quickly reminded it was the right decision at the right time. To date, I’m still not 100% sure what’s next for me but I do know it will NOT involve making any type of cakes to order!
But I do feel it would be wrong of me not to share those last cake pictures with you. There are quite a few, so I will share them in batches. It’s a mixed bag from simple cupcakes to gorgeous tiered birthday cakes and a couple of wedding cakes thrown in for good measure.
I hope they make you smile!
