Small business post
It's inevitable that with the cost of living, people just can't afford to pay out for an expensive cake! I get that and it's something I fully understand and appreciate.
All small business' are feeling the pinch and unfortunately some are being forced to close because it's just not worth the cost to remain open.
This isn't the case for me at the moment. However.......it is something I may have to consider in the new year.
Is it worth me heating my big oven to bake that 1 cake order?
No it isn't...thats the reality of it.
Can I afford to run around supermarkets hunting the cheapest packs of extortionate butter or chasing eggs that aren't there?
No I can't ...I can't justify the fuel, the price increase or my time.
And that for me is really sad 💔
When I first started making cakes I would have 12/13 order a week..now I'm lucky to have 2!
I'm not giving up yet !!!
But in the future I can't rule it out!
