Nevertheless Cakes

16/11/2022

I’ve made the decision to end my business. At first it was a very hard and sad decision to make but as I’ve had time to process it, I realise that this is in my best interests. I’ve worked so hard to get the business to where it is today over the last 2.5 years. In that time I have achieved so much and feel so proud of myself but I have lost a huge part of myself and both my mental and physical health has taken a hit. Owning a business on your own is hard!!
As so many people are aware, businesses are struggling right now and it’s the biggest fight to not only stay open financially but to have a healthy relationship with your own creation and workload. Instead of pushing forward to get through it, I look forward to a steadier life with other possibilities and prospects ahead!
I hope at some point to write more about the struggles of rising costs, in particular ingredients, and use this platform to share what I really love which is cafes, food, coffee and community!

This Friday I will be doing my last wholesale delivery. On the 26th I will be at and finally on the 27th at

For now I want to thank everyone who has been involved with Nevertheless Cakes including my family’s support, employees past and present, all the wonderful businesses I’ve supplied to, everyone who has bought cake from us and Matthew for giving me the opportunity to start the business in the first place!
THANK YOU, Ellen x

I’m so excited to share, I am hosting a jewellery/beading session!! Some of you may have seen these beaded accessories around, very trendy on Etsy! I have slowly been collecting beads as a personal hobby. If you fancy joining me for a 2.5 hour session to make your own necklace/bracelet/keychain/phone accessory then here is your chance!

This is a very good opportunity to do on your own or with one other person as I’d like to encourage the session to be quite sociable and a chance to meet other people…

There are 8 tickets available, please use this link to buy a ticket…

You should be able to make at least two accessories in this session (but I won’t be counting!). I will be there to assist and also assemble the pieces once you complete them, so no faff, just a creative theraputic session!

It also includes a piece of cake (of course) and unlimited tea/coffee/hot chocolate throughout.

If there is enough interest I’d love to host a second!

Get a ticket here!! -

Hello everyone! I’ve not been very present on social media for a few weeks now. I’ve essentially just reached a huge burn out and not really had the time to relax, owning a business and all! I’ve also experienced a few health problems, but I’m on a slow path to some sort of recovery. With this in mind I have decided for the foreseeable future I won’t be making any celebration cakes. I don’t tend to promote all the cakes I make as I don’t have a lot of spare time! But a cake can take around 4 hours, on top of my working week, including admin, baking/buttercream prep, decorating and washing up… then waiting for people to collect. But anyhow.. just a small insight into the little business I’m running right now. Hope everyone is well! (P.s. sorry for the cake teaser, one day I’ll post all my creations!) 💗

Spring Fruit Frangipane… Rhubarb and Orange 🍊 vegan & gluten-free
A wee bit of information below-

Forced Rhubarb is grown in the Uk due to the wet and cold winter conditions. It ‘is an out of season rhubarb that is first grown outside for a period of two years so that the exposure to frost toughens the roots.’
It more often comes from the ‘Yorkshire Triangle’. ‘The Rhubarb Triangle is a 9-square-mile (23 km2) area of West Yorkshire, England between Wakefield, Morley and Rothwell famous for producing early forced rhubarb.’.
