🌟Life update🌟

Hey cookie people! It's been quiet on here for the last few months as I took some time off to get through the last weeks of a difficult pregnancy and then enjoy life with a newborn. Our 3rd daughter has joined our family late August and we are all smitten. Life is good ❤

During these months, I have also taken time to reevaluate and think about goals and plans for our family and the time has come to share this with you all. If you're not into long, sentimental, wordy posts, skip ahead to the end. 😁

I never expected The Sound of Cookie to turn into the business that it grew into over the course of 2+ years. What began as just something that kept me sane during lockdown, quickly developed into a business that grew beyond my wildest expectations. Honestly, I was the last person to see this coming. My order books were usually filled at least 3 months in advance, I think the furthest away booking I ever took was 9 months in advance (I did not even have the calendar for the following year yet!)
Easter, Christmas and Paint Your Own were so popular, I regularly sold out in only a couple hours and my husband completed a book keeping course in order to be able to help and do my finances. It quickly became a family project and I took many decorating and marketing classes to further grow the business.

The pregnancy with our 3rd child forced me to slow down and made me realise that, in order to keep up with the bookings, I had spent many hours late into the night and weekends decorating, leaving not much time for family. Life since birth has changed immensely and priorities have shifted - as they do, with a baby and two other kids who, yet older, still need their Mama and her full attention.

I have, therefore, made the difficult decision to not come back into the Cookie World but concentrate on being the best Mum I can be to my girls. I am so immensely grateful to each and every one of you who over the past 2 years has ordered and supported my business. All my late nights aside, this simply would not have happened without you guys. I've met some incredible people through being a cookier and honestly, it was SUCH an honour to be part of so many baby showers, weddings, birthdays etc. Caution - most emotional sentence of the post ahead: These two years will forever hold a special place in my memory.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. ❤

And here’s the Peppa Pig cookies on the finished Peppa Pig cake - isn’t this an awesome cake? 🥳
Thanks for sharing the photo, I always loooooove seeing my cookies and the set up on party day and ⭐️ especially ⭐️ when they get to feature on fantastic cakes 👏👏

It was about time for a Peppa Pig set, methinks! Who’s your favourite of the lot? Some of these cookies got elevated to cake topper status (the highest level of achievement, let me tell you!) - I’ll show you pics later this week 😉

Hands up if you’ve got a Paw Patrol fan in your home! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ Or, like in this case, TWO - with their birthdays close together 🙌

Time to spill the beans!

—————————————

I’m a pretty good baker in more than one way - Baby Number 3 is joining our family very soon! 👶
In order to soak up the remaining time as a family of four, I’ve decided to put a pause on cookies from the end of July until we get settled in with our new routine and my body allows me to return to baking.

What does this mean for orders? As you know, my books fill up fast so I wanted to give you all a decent headsup. From now until August, I’ll be operating at a very reduced capacity so please bear that in mind if you’re planning a party in the next 2.5 months.

Most likely you can expect me to return to taking orders in early 2024, maybe there’ll even be a small Christmas 🎄 name plaque offering as I know a lot of you love this tradition 😊 But I’ll keep you all updated!

Thanks for sharing in our excitement 🥰

You know how I said the other day my hubby is my biggest supporter? I mean, he is, but .. priorities! 😛😉😂

I always love making PYO cookies, especially as an alternative to all the plastic toys in party gift bags. 🎉
Doubles as entertainment and sweet treat 😋 and with now more than 40 different designs to choose from (and counting!) there’s definitely one matching every kid’s birthday theme 🙌🙌

“Hey hubby, I really like this cookie decorating thing, what do you think, should I start a business while being a SAHM with kids under 5?” 🧐
Hubby: Lol
Me: Lol

Fast forward, now entering my third year of being a registered business under the Food Control Plan 🙌

A massive thank you to first of all hubby who’s now my biggest supporter (and book keeper 😆) and of course to all of you, my amazing customers, for continuing to put your trust in me to get creative for your birthdays, weddings, baby showers etc.. I did not think I’d still be here 3 years later! 🥰🥰

🚨 Emergency vehicles ready for Fletcher‘s 5th birthday party 🚨

I really loved everything about this set - even handpainting the yellow and green tiny squares on all of the 9 ambulance cookies 😅
