This week I was honored to make Pipers 4th Birthday cake. I have made a few of her cakes now, and am very sad that this will be the last. Hope you had a lovely birthday weekend x

***Wow- Thank you so much.
The first print run has now sold out! ***

I shall be placing another order, which will arrive before Christmas, so let me know if you are interested, and I'll let you know when they arrive.

Should be approx 2-3 weeks, depending on mail strikes etc.

So here it is.
The "Something About Cakes" recipe booklet.

Contains all of my recipes from my ten years of trading including my Celebration Cake Sponge Recipe to make your own birthday cakes, my Rum Truffle Recipe and of course, the Jammy Dodger Recipe!

Contains Hints and Tips and all my secrets!

This booklet is available direct from me for just £3.75, or posted 2nd class for £5.00.

Numbers are limited as I only did a small print run, but I can reorder in time for Christmas if there is a demand.

Ideal stocking filler or secret santa gift!

It's been a while!
As you know, I am slowly winding the business down, which is very sad after 10 years of trade.
But what if I said, you could still enjoy all of my delicious cakes for years to come....
Stay tuned for a little announcement later..

CLOSING DOWN
But not quite yet......

I opened my little business in 2013, as a way to earn some extra income whilst working part time elsewhere, so that I could be at home more for my little boy.
However, he's not so little anymore.
This coupled with the fact that the cost of living is rising, I am taking on extra hours at my main job from September.

So what does this mean?
I will sadly be closing down "Something About Cakes" in February 2023.
I have paid my insurance etc until then, so will continue to fit in the odd cake order here and there until that time. Spaces will be very limited as I shall have less time available to dedicate to cakes, so I apologise now if I cause any disappointment in the next few months, but shall be winding everything down.
I shall keep all of my caking equipment, never say never, however from February I shall officially close as a business.

Why can't I just do the odd cake now and again?
I have to pay yearly insurance, have Council Kitchen Inspections, update Hygiene qualifications and do my yearly taxes. This simply would not be worth it. Also with the cost of electricity and ingredients rising, I would need to increase my prices dramatically to make it cost effective, and I simply do not wish to do that.

Thank you for all of your business over the years, I really have appreciated all of your confidence in my ability, and i enjoyed making all of those special cakes for you.

I am still around for now, so if you wish to make a booking between now and February do enquire, though please remember space is limited.
