❗️PLEASE READ… ❗️
It is with a heavy heart to announce that after 3 and a half years, Ginger Bear Cake Co will be closing at the end of December 😢
I start a new full time job working in a high school in 2 weeks which I am excited about. I won’t have any spare time to bake and if I’m completely honest, I’m looking forward to a new routine and to spending my weekends and evenings relaxing and seeing family / friends ❤️ If the last few months have taught me anything, it’s that life is too short!
As well as this, it’s getting harder and harder to be a small business owner especially in the baking world. The cost of ingredients just keeps rising and I don’t like to increase my prices! I’ve been baking from my home kitchen for the whole 3 and a half years and the dream was to have my own cake shop which hasn’t happened.
Don’t get me wrong, I am super proud of how I’ve grown my cake business in that time and how far I’ve come. I’m self taught and I’ve had many tears, late nights and I’ve worked hard! 🥵 I hit the goal of attending stalls at markets and fun days and I absolutely loved doing these! I just feel that I can’t carry on doing this from home any longer.
I’m thankful beyond words for my customers especially the ones who kept coming back and who champion me by recommending, sharing posts and re-ordering! 🥰 your support has meant the world!
Finally I’d like to thank those closest to me, my amazing family and friends who have supported this little dream of mine from the start and who are currently supporting me through this decision, which hasn’t been an easy one 💔
I’ll still keep the social media pages going as all of my cake pics are on here and you never know what the future holds. Ginger Bear Cakes might be back bigger and better but for now the time is right to hang up my apron! 👩🏼🍳
For those few orders I have booked in from now until I close, don’t worry, your order will still be made! 👍
Happy Christmas and all the best for 2025! 🎅🏻🎄🍾
Thank you again!
Sian 🤍
