This week has been an emotional one….delivering this week’s cakes….
after 8 years, I am closing my cake business.
This has not been an easy decision, its taken me the last 2 1/2 years …but now is the time…
Starting in the Autumn of 2022, with my husband becoming ill with pneumonia, followed by him having throat surgery.. & almost 7 months off work.
At the same time, my dear stepdad Sid’s health started to decline… living in Shropshire with my dear Mum, has meant more frequent trips up and down the motorway.
I made the decision at that time, to cease making celebration cakes, along with also decreasing the number of wedding cake orders.
Very sadly, my Mum lost Sid, aged 91, in January this year…
My Mum, now 89, whilst grieving her loss, was then diagnosed with cancer just a couple weeks later….
Needless to say, time with my Mum is precious… making wedding cakes is neither practical or feasible…
Running my own business was a dream come true.
It would not have been possible without the support of my family & friends….Thank you everyone… you know who you are! 😘
I have also met some wonderful people, including all my customers, couples, lovely fellow creators & suppliers and had the opportunity to visit the most beautiful Cornish venues.
I may be back one day, but for now, its goodbye…
Much love
Julie x
