2025
Forewarning this is probably going to be long. I’ve thought a lot about what I want to say in this post but I’m to the point where I’m overthinking and overanalyzing, so with that being said I’m going to get straight to it. I’ve made the impossibly hard and incredibly difficult decision to close down the bakery. I know…I could bawl just typing that out.
2025 was my best year yet, in all aspects. I’ve spent the last year and a half or so really focusing on the systems and backend of my bakery. And it has payed off immensely. I’ve had my best year financially while working less than I have before and also taking three months of maternity leave. I’m so, SO proud of myself and the balance I had created.
The community that has continued to grow in 2025 has me so emotional in regard to closing down. The bakers I chat with, the friendors in the event industry, and the clients I’ve been able to serve; you are amazing and the reason behind all that I do. To be a part of something bigger than me. What an honor it’s been to walk with you all for the past 6 years.
But while all this may be, I’ve also been feeling pulled to be home. With the birth of Bryelle the call to be home with my babies has only gotten stronger. I have always thought I would do both, the bakery and being a mom. I’ve come to know that I only want to be a mom in this season, while my children are young.
My bakery, in a way, felt like my first baby. It’s going to be an adjustment walking away but I know it’s the correct path for me.
Perhaps I’ll be back one day when my children are a little older, or perhaps you’ll hear from me around holidays if I’m feeling pulled to the craft of baking. I’m really not sure what A Bite More Bakery’s future will entail but for now I know it’s closing the door on the commercial kitchen and being home with my babies. It’s time for this chapter to come to a close.
Thank you all for your support💕I am who I am today because of this bakery and because of you. For that, I am eternally grateful.
