Pretty Baked

*Important Announcement*

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas 🎄

This is a post that I have been putting off posting for many many months, but I feel now is the time.

Due to a change in career path, with an extremely heavy heart, I am going to be hanging up my apron for the foreseeable future.

As many of you will have noticed, I’ve been very quiet on here lately.
Life has thrown a few changes my way and with that, I’m announcing the closure of Pretty Baked 💔

Growing this business over the past 10 years has been absolutely incredible. I never imagined it would take off the way it did. I have loved each and every order I have created along with all the amazing customers and suppliers I have had the pleasure of meeting along the way. None of that would have been possible without you — your love, your support, and your appetite for sweet treats. 🥰 I am endlessly grateful to each and every one of you for helping me make this dream a reality.

A few years ago I was offered a job that I had worked towards since the age of 14, with endless hours of practice and a university degree in tow but there was never an opportunity for me to achieve this unique job, which led me down the road to creating cakes. But being offered a job teaching Harp, was something I just couldn't turn down.

Although I haven't advertised cakes in years, the cake orders kept coming (thank you again!). With each year getting busier and booking up quicker than ever it became clear that juggling both isn’t sustainable — and it’s time to lovingly close this chapter. I genuinely didn't think this day would come, I am even half way through decorating my dream cake studio at our new home.

All existing orders that have been booked in with a deposit will still be fulfilled, so if you already have something booked in — don’t worry, you’ll still get your cakes!💜

I’ve truly loved every minute of running Pretty Baked, and I’m so proud of what it became. For now, baking will return to being a hobby, though who knows, maybe there’ll be the odd treat box in the future — so don’t unfollow just yet 😉

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your support and kindness.

Yes.....this is a cake!!!

Not going to lie, I'm super proud of this one 😅

Many MANY hours of work went into this beauty, from the moulded horses, elegant frames, ruffles, border edges and everything painstakingly hand painted gold.

The main cake was a 4 layer chocolate sponge cake, with chocolate ganache and milk chocolate buttercream filling.

The perfect cake for someone who (like myself) gets so many parcels delivered it becomes the running joke amongst friends.

Happy 50th Birthday Paul from the Yellow Heifer.
