Its a long one, please read...
I’ve always said I’d be honest with you guys about the Cake Shed, so here goes… ❤️
The truth is, I’m struggling at the moment.
I don’t think anyone quite realises just how much work goes on behind the scenes. It’s not just baking cakes and opening the door. It’s the paperwork, the admin, the labels, the packaging, the shopping, the cutting, the baking, the cleaning, the ordering, the planning… there is ALWAYS something that needs doing.
And when I say always, I mean it. I work 7 days a week. There genuinely isn’t one single day where I’m not doing something for the Cake Shed.
It’s been open for 18 months now, and for 18 months my life has basically revolved around it. Even on the days the Shed isn’t open, I’m still working. I’m still baking, prepping, ordering, doing paperwork or thinking about what needs doing next.
And I need to be honest — I’m starting to lose the love for it.
That’s really difficult for me to admit because I’ve worked SO hard to build this, and I’m incredibly proud of what the Cake Shed has become. I absolutely don’t want it to go anywhere. But I also can’t keep working seven days a week and never really leaving the house. Something has to give.
I need a life outside of the Cake Shed as well. Simple as that. I need to get out of this house, switch my brain off from cake for a little while and actually have some time for ME.
So for now, I’m going to be opening three weeks out of every month. Once a month, I’ll be taking a full week off from the Shed. A proper chance to get out, recharge my batteries and hopefully get back to actually loving what I do instead of feeling like it controls every day of my life.
Over the next few months I’m going to see how I feel and have a good think about things. I’m really hoping the Cake Shed isn’t going anywhere , I just need to find a way of making it work where I get to have a life too.
I’ve always promised to be honest with you guys, and this is just where I’m at right now. ❤️
And to every single one of you whobuys my cakes and treats, recommends me, shares my posts and keeps this little Shed going, thank you. I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know.
Hopefully, I just need a bit of balance to find my love for it again. 🙏🤞🏻
