A little update from me 🤍

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided to take a short pause from accepting new cake orders while I focus on my health and wellbeing.

If you already have a booking with me, please don’t worry – all existing bookings and weddings for the 26/27 season will go ahead as planned.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported The Blooming Baker since its creation. I’m incredibly grateful for every enquiry, every order and every kind word.

This is only a temporary pause, and I’ll share an update as soon as my order books reopen.

Thank you for your kindness, understanding and continued support. It truly means the world to me.
