• Behind every small business is a family •
And I am so grateful for every single order, a one off, the every event, the once a year for your children’s birthday. It makes a huge difference and ultimately allows me to pay the bills and do what I love.
Baking is the constant in my life, it’s what I’ve always done for release, it’s “my thing”
I quit my full time job to pursue my love for baking. In fact I’ve actually baked longer than I’ve ever stayed with one employer throughout my whole 16 years of having various different jobs.
I’ve baked longer than any of the lengths of my relationships have lasted.
I chose this life because I thought it would give me freedom, not a 9-5
The harsh reality is, having your own business is harder than any job I’ve ever had but also the most rewarding. I don’t know if it’s that I thought returning from maternity would be easier than it has been, or maybe that I’ve come back too soon, or the timing but I’m here just trying to spin all the plates.
My natural inclination is to be a people pleaser, I can’t say no. I want to but I don’t want to let anyone down but I’m struggling to find the balance of having the time.
Since having Rupert I bake every night from 7.30pm til midnight minimum and before 7.30pm I am a mum first.
And let me tell you, I’m bloody nackered!
It’s just me, the baker, the admin, the cleaner, the lot.
I know I’m terrible at admin, I always have been but it’s showing a lot more now I have even less time. There is a pinned post with the only availability I have remaining for 2024. There is a highlight with how to order and the information I need. Please please read them before enquiring.
I guess what I’m trying to say is please be patient with us all. We all work tirelessly. There are no days off for us but also thank you, for everything 🤍
I will reply to messages when I can sneak a minute, sorry for always sounding like a moaning miserable cow 😂
