Hey everyone! It’s been sooo long since I last posted on here. Just wanted to pop on firstly to say a huge thank you to those who have been checking in since I’ve been on maternity, it really means a lot. Absolutely loving motherhood. Best thing that’s ever happened to me but it’s hard work, I’ll tell you that for free!

I’ve logged back in here & there and seen sooo many beautiful cakes being made. I could spend hours looking at people’s work, the cake community really is an inspiring and amazing one!

There’s been dozens of messages from customers the last few months asking when I’m returning and if they can book in. It fills my heart with happiness that I have such loyal customers and friends on here. However, it is with a heavy heart that unfortunately I’m hanging up my apron for the foreseeable and I’m not sure when I’ll be returning. It’s been a difficult decision and to be honest, has been eating away at me for weeks.

Pre-baby I massively underestimated how much time I would have on my hands. I had plans to open my own cake shop as well as getting back to cakes only a few months after birth. I deeply wish that could have been the case. Baking itself is time consuming, but being the perfectionist that I am, the careful planning and prepping can take just as long as the baking itself.

This doesn’t include keeping on top of admin, social media, marketing, ordering stock which I could just about manage when I just had myself to look after.

I feel sad writing this because I know I’ve let a few people down but I know it’s the right thing to do and it allows me to focus on raising and spending quality time with my daughter. Time that I’ll never get back whilst she’s still so young.

On the plus side, the good thing about this industry… it’s a skill I’ve obtained for life and I can pick it back up again whenever.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to not just those who have purchased a cake but to those who have liked, commented, followed and shared my page over the years. My page will remain open so I can continue seeing all your gorgeous creations but from now I’m no longer taking orders. It’s goodbye for now but hopefully not forever!

Take care 💘 Gabrielle x

The cutest bun I’ll ever bake 🤍 My beautiful baby girl Matilda Rose Holme was born on Saturday 4th March 2023 at 11:45pm, weighing 8 pound 6.

She is perfect in every way ☁️

Missing baking for you all so sooo much and can’t wait to get back to it later in the year. I also can’t wait to get this little lady assisting me with your orders in the years to come 🥹

HELLO….

Hoping your all well & looking forward to the festivities 🎅🏼 🎄 🥂 How fast has this year gone by the way?! Scary how quickly life moves 😱

I just wanted to quickly pop on and say I’m aware I’ve been very inactive on here and I do apologise if replies have been slow. I’ve been baking here & there still, however my priorities have changed over the last 6 months and to be totally honest… social media/marketing has not been at the top of my list. It’s really hard to keep up in this industry regarding trends, growing your page and advertising ☹️

You need to dedicate sooo much time in order for it to thrive and time is something I just don’t have at the moment. With lack of sleep, a painful back and pregnancy hormones running wild, baking is starting to become difficult (much earlier than I thought too 💔!!!)

With that being said, I’ve decided to take an early maternity leave as I feel now is a good time to start nesting in my new home and prepare for a transformative few months 🤰🏼🏡

I’ve got a handful of small orders booked in for the remainder of the year which are not effected but unfortunately, I will be closing my books to new orders until I return in 2023.

It’s been an amazing year for GLB. Winning an official award, appearing in magazines and starting my wedding cake journey. I’m thrilled to see how far I’ve come and I’m really grateful to all my customers, and those particular friends & family who have supported me since the beginning.

Looking forward to coming back with a fresh new approach next year and will give plenty of notice when my books will be open again. Until then, have a wonderful Christmas and I hope the new year brings much love & happiness to you all 💫

See you soon, Gabrielle ❤️

🧁 BUN IN THE OVEN 🧁 Beyond excited to announce I’m expecting my first baby in March next year 🥰❤️🌿☁️

Firstly, apologies to those customers who I’ve had to turn away for last minute orders over the past few weeks, my sick days were bloody awful and I always want to feel my best when I’m baking for your special events. You now know why I have been acting slightly sheepish 😅

Secondly, for those who are already booked in over the next few months, please don’t worry - your orders are not affected! However I will be taking limited orders due to us also moving house, so if you have a date in mind, please book in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

As of yet, I’m unsure what date I will be taking my maternity leave but I will keep you all in the loop and let you know in good time 🙏🏼

There is still some big plans in the pipeline for my little business and they are continuing to going ahead once baby is here so please stay tuned for that 🙊🙊🙊

As always, thank you for your support and if you have any queries regarding orders please get in touch handy so I can do my best to squeeze you in 🤗

🌹 RUSTIC WEDDING CAKE 🌹 Loved creating this semi-naked rose cake for my lovely friend Sophie & her husband Adam this weekend 💒

They asked for 3 different flavours so we went for chocolate + nutella, lemon + lemon curd and vanilla + raspberry jam 😍

Adored the rustic venue with the red & black retro colour scheme. Such a cool set up with the record player and photo display too 🖤

Hope you both had a fabulous day and huge congratulations 🥂

☁️ BOHO BABY SHOWER ☁️ Obsessed with the neutral colour scheme here for a baby shower cake I made over the weekend 🌾

I kept it nice and simple with some dainty details 🫶🏻 5 inch wide cakes are such a fav at the minute, you can make them as tall or small as you like 🤍

💖 PORNSTAR MARTINI 💖 Completely forgot to post this gorgeous cake from a few weeks ago 🤩 This was a pornstar martini flavoured cake with some cute detailing 🍸

For the pornstar, I used some yummy orange jelly with white buttercream for the froth 👅 finished with a fresh passionfruit of course!

I then used a mix of orange and hot pink buttercream to create some smudges to make it look really summery ☀️ I also created a subtle marble effect for the choc balls too (zoom in and have a look) ✨

Just a heads up, I’m not taking any additional orders at the moment but my diary will be back open again soon 📚 ✏️

🦕 BOY CAKE TRIO 🏁 boy cakes were proven very popular this weekend 🔥 We had a 1st birthday safari cake, a hot wheels cake followed by a Jurassic park cake 🎂

All so different but all equally as pleasing to make 🥳 for the safari cake, I used artificial giant leaves with matching leafy effect buttercream 🍃

For the hot wheels cake, I used real hot wheels toys with a bright orange drip 🏎

&&& finally for the Jurassic cake, I made the base look very rocky and crushed some oreos to give it a Dino era effect 🪨

🐥 SESAME STREET 🐥 A very bright & colourful cake for Matilda who is turning the big 1 tomorrow 🌈 Just love getting creative with children’s cakes 🎈

The balloon topper makes it look like it’s going to fly off somewhere however, it’s actually quite heavy believe it or not 😅 Customers are usually shocked when they hold a cake like this for the first time 🏋🏼‍♀️

Still on ☁️ 9 from Friday! Thank you so so much to everyone for the support and lovely messages, it really means a lot. Lots of big changes coming for Gabrielles Little Bakery and I’m really excited to start the ball rolling 😆

I WON 😆 🏆 🎉 😭

Can’t believe my little business is now award winning 🤯 I didn’t intend to start a cake business, it just kind of happened… but I didn’t think for a MINUTE I would be winning awards after 2 years!!!

It’s not just about the cakes, it’s about the blood, sweat and many hours of hard work that goes into them. Having taken on a 2nd job, working 60+ hours a week whilst in the middle of buying a new house… I honestly thought my business would suffer. However, I have pushed through and made sure I never gave up on something I feel so passionately about 🙏🏼

I’m really excited to take Gabrielles Little Bakery to the next level and I hope many of you can come on this journey with me. Thank you to every single person who has placed an order with me, you have made me the happiest I’ve ever been 🥰 ♥️

💒 WEDDING CAKE 💒 Successfully baked and delivered my first wedding cake today 😆 It’s safe to say my heart was in my mouth travelling for 40 mins in this heat, over speed bumps and up vertical hills 🥵 but it arrived safely in one piece 🥳 ✨

This was a textured design with a vanilla bean sponge + strawberry jam filling 🍓 The ribbons is the exact colour of the bridesmaid dresses too 💐 Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Mitchell 👰🏻‍♀️ 🤵🏻

Time for some bubbles now I think… happy Saturday 🍾 🥂
