Oh my heart 💔

Earlier this year, owner Sarah Biggard announced that the Blonde Bomb Bakery–a Columbuis concept known for Cake Bombs and other desserts that held a strong presence in the local market and pop-up scene–was struggling to stay afloat. In an emotional post shared yesterday, Biggard has now let her ...

It’s taken me weeks to post this. As my heart is so unsettled.

Earlier this year the bakery was at a standstill. After multiple attempts to keep it going, I kept hitting walls. Financially and physically. My body had taken a severe beating over the past 4 years- from cancer to loosing the babies and honestly I never healed and rushed my body to return to normal.I struggled daily, to keep up. I thought it was over.

Then things slowly started to turn… or so I thought. I was working on a epic project- one I’m still not willing to reveal. I had been promised a spot in a new and upcoming wine shop and they wanted to invest in my BIG project. Then out of nowhere… more and more silence and then no follow through on said promises. I still haven’t heard anything from them. Slowly sliding down hill, I was empty and couldn’t see a future for the bakery. Then, again, out of nowhere, another opportunity came upon me. A LIFE CHANGING opportunity. It was a way for the bakery to still continue and for me to actually have a life- plus I was super pumped about being apart of such a cool place. Interviews, baking and talks was going on for over 30 days. Then, just when I thought we were buttoning all this up- I get a call. “We’ve over promised and undelivered.” With no reasoning, explaining or even another job offer there- they moved on. I was fu***ng crushed. CRUSHED.

I’ve been back to back fu**ed. Excuse my language but wtf?!

I am beyond hurt and honestly pi**ed. None of these situations were a ‘maybe’ thing. There were on going talks and meetings. I was completely blindsided, both times. I’m so confused and so hurt. 💔

With that being said….

Life must move on. Bills and life- do not stop. I am currently working for a fantastic company- Fox in the Snow in Dublin. Just a baker. Just one of the team. I’m honored to be there and love every part of it. Please come check it out and wave at me through the windows- we open this Saturday! 9/23!

Here’s the hard part. The Blonde Bomb Bakery is on permanent pause. Things have taken a turn and I must focus on family and my life. I still believe in what I was creating and am grateful to all of you for believing in me.

I still believe in what I was creating and am grateful to all of you for believing in me. These past 3 years have given me so much and led me to build relationships with amazing people.

I will always be The Blonde Bomb. I will always be baking and feeding the world- one way or another.

I would love for The BBB to continue but at this time- it’s at no way possible. I’m so sorry. Please understand how incredibly hard this is for me and understand if I don’t respond to comments here. I’m still very much reeling. Still secretly trying…. To find a way to continue on. ❤️

There will be 1 final sale. Date announced soon.

Thank you all for your support and LOVE. I’m honored to have it.

Layers of buttermilk banana pecan cake, soaked in a coconut syrup, filled with a pineapple coconut jam and wrapped up in a vanilla bean Swiss meringue buttercream.

Happy 75th b-day!
