Hello 👋 it’s been a while hasn’t it!
You may have thought with the lack of posts that’s Faleycakes was gone, and that would be a fair assumption! But the truth is, I’m still here - I just scaled down majorly and now I only operate the business part-time.
The reason for this was that, like many small businesses, I found it unsustainable to make a living from - costs always rising, cost of living always on the up and leaving everyone with less money to afford luxuries like bespoke cakes - I decided I’d return to making cakes as a side hustle, just enough to keep my creative mind ticking over, alongside a seperate full time job.
But I acknowledge I took my eye off the ball in terms of marketing and engagement with my customers - so many of you who were so loyal and a joy to work with - I am sorry I dropped off the face of the planet, and I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to you for your previous support.
One result of me dropping the ball was that my google review page was deleted due to inactivity 👎🏻 which was kind of heartbreaking as I had so many positive reviews on there ❤️ . I set a new one up, but never got round to building it back up.
I haven’t done any orders in the last couple of weeks, so I was surprised to get a notification of a negative 1 STAR review today 🤔 I was even more surprised to see the reason for this review (swipe to see).
Leaving a 1 star review unduly for a small business is really damaging, and I’d urge anyone to think twice before doing something that can ruin years of hard work for no good reason 🤷🏻♀️
So, if you’re still reading this and if I’ve ever made a cake for you in the past that you enjoyed, I’d be eternally grateful if you could leave me a NEW google review ❤️ (link in bio)
Faleycakes is still here, just in a much smaller capacity - I can’t accept as many orders as I used to, but if you have an upcoming occasion that you may need a cake for, please contact me and if I CAN help, I WILL help (just please forgive me if I take more than 21 hours to reply 😉)
Much love ❤️❤️ Teresa ###
