Soooo it’s been a minute since I posted here. How is everyone? Did you notice the pictures of the girls and how much they have grown up since I last posted?! 😳💕
I thought a few years ago that baking was a thing of the past. But I didn’t shut the social media pages down back then. There were so many memories here, and I always wanted to be able to look back at the photos and remember all the feels.
It used to be that when life seemed hard, I would bake. It was my stress relief. But the business grew, and baking became a job instead of a break. When I paused the business, I quit baking completely. And I told myself I didn’t miss it. And in many ways I didn’t. I didn’t miss people ordering and not showing up to pick up their items. I didn’t miss how owning a bakery felt during Covid when most social gatherings were put on hold. I didn’t miss people not understanding why my cakes were more expensive than a Walmart cake.
But I did miss the beauty of a simply decorated cake. I missed the connection to the women before me who passed the white velvet cake recipe down through our family. I missed the early days of the shop when it was mostly me baking with a couple of part-time helpers when I could afford them!
I have found it to be a season in my life that is hard… a season that I crave simplicity and the basics of life. Flour, sugar, eggs, butter… these are the basics of baking. And I miss how they come together to make sweet concoctions that families gather around to celebrate the joys and sorrows of life.
With that being said… I wanted to gauge your interest. Would anyone be interested in purchasing white velvet, lemon blueberry, or carrot cakes? I would be doing all of the baking myself, so options would be limited… 8 inch cakes with simple decorations only. If you are interested, please like, comment, share the post… something to let me know you are interested. If there is interest, then I will post a follow-up with details such as the number of orders I will accept each weekend. Thank you so much! Have a wonderful evening! Christian 😊💕🎂♥️
