๐๐ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY BAKERY ๐๐
Six years ago today I opened The Female Glaze, in the middle of a global pandemic, with no savings and โจ 2 trays โจ to bake brownies. I didnโt quite know what I was doing but I knew I wanted to make lush vegan bakes that could do some good for the community ๐ซถ๐ผ
In 6 years, The Female Glaze has changed so much, from markets to private events, new flavours, incredible collabs I could never have dreamed of (Le Cordon Bleu London ??? Hello????), a few mental breakdowns (๐คช) and an insane amount of boxes Iโve personally packed for you with all my love (and tears sometimes ngl)
Itโs still the biggest challenge Iโve ever faced: running a small business from a minuscule kitchen when the world is falling apart and selling pastries seems pointless. At least once a month I question if this is still worth it. But then I hear how much my friends still believe in me, I read your comments, I see your joy, I eat a cookie and I remember that there are still so many goals I want to achieve :)
So thank you for still choosing my silly little bakery after 6 years. I promise to keep offering you the best pastries, baked while I blast Olivia Rodrigo or a podcast about mental health ๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ณ
And a special thank to the person who replies to all your emails and reminds me to do my tax return, none of this would be possible without my wife to be ๐ฏโโ๏ธ
If you got this far you deserve a little present: enjoy 20% off on our website using the code: โจ SIXYEARSBABY โจ
I canโt offer such a big discount very often so donโt waste it!! Valid for 48h only โผ๏ธ
Thanks again, Iโm so happy this is my job!!! ###xx
Love,
Francis
