This will be one of the hardest posts I have to write. I have been in touch with every one I have need to so hopefully there are no panics anywhere. I will be closing Tiers of Indulgence on the 23rd December 2022. I will however be honouring the few cakes I have already booked in. For the past months I have been struggling with pain in my hands and fingers doing my cakes. I have been finding it difficult with wires, flowers, modelling and all the intricate details. My competition piece for Cake International confirmed this as I couldn’t open my hands properly for days. I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hands and it causes me a lot of pain. This will get worse over time. I’ve been doing cakes now for almost 12 years and loved every second and every cake I’ve ever made. I have had journeys from baby shower cakes, 1st birthdays to 102nd birthday celebrations. I put love and care into every single cake and if I wasn’t happy with something I would do it again, and again if necessary. I’ve lost count of the wedding days that I’ve had the honour to make the cakes for. I’ve made my best friends son’s cakes since he’s been born and Max is almost 12. I think you all know where I am going with this post. I am retiring from cakes on the 23rd December. Don’t worry, I will still be doing Christmas Gonks, hot chocolate balls, Christmas cakes and treat boxes and hopefully colour in biscuits for this Christmas. But, this will be the last time you can order them. I can’t thank each and every one of you enough for the cakes, cupcakes, bouquets, hot chocolate balls, treat boxes, biscuits and everything in between. You really have given me the opportunity to do something I love. I will miss the cakes and miss the people I have met along the way. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, Nic ###x
