PRESSING PAUSE
Dear Friends
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing to let you all know that I have decided to ‘press pause’ on the bespoke cake side of my wonderful little business; one week shy of its 9th birthday.
My business has grown far bigger than I could ever have dreamed of, and I have been a part of so many people’s special occasions which has also lead me to making so many friends who I originally met as customers. For that I am forever grateful.
Caking over the recent 18 months has become harder and harder. With a full on heavy family schedule & the added pressures of price increases and customers wishing for a cheaper bake, it has made me fall out of love with baking & makes being creative under pressure an unwanted dreaded feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I have talked for a while about changing careers - as I would like to go back to challenging myself in something new. But with the amount of time and focus on cakes, I have not been able to focus on me and my next steps.
So this might just be a goodbye for now, and I may come back stronger after a break. Or it might just be me honouring all the current bookings and silently creeping away to something new.
I don’t believe it is a midlife crisis; I am not that old and I have no desire to buy a sports car 😜
Any ideas on a new career - let me know 😂
Thank you to you all for making my business as awesome and as fun as it has been 😘
