Good morning everyone!! Long post ahead so bear with meπ
It is with great sadness that I have decided, effective immediately, not to take anymore orders at least until the end of summer but may be longer.
Hereβs 3 things that are taking up a lot of my time:
1. We have recently decided to homeschool! We have one daughter that would be starting 1st grade at home and 1 daughter that would be starting 4K, and our youngest is only 1, so I have my hands full!
2. We just got a new puppy! Her name is Nala, and sheβs the sweetest thing that needs lots of patience and training!
3. As you all know, the prices of ingredients have skyrocketed. That being said, itβs not making sense with all I have going on, to be making very very little profit. (Just a reminder to ALL, when youβre buying any sort of cake or cupcakes and you think is expensive? Donβt forget that it took SEVERAL hours to decorate it on top of all the prices of materials..itβs not uncommon to spend $40 upfront on materials. An example, if I charged $72 for 24 cupcakes, thatβs $3/cupcake. $40 for supplies (cupcake boxes, specialty sprinkles that yes cost $15 a piece, cake supplies, eggs, butter, etc), Iβd be making $32 for 2-4 hours of decorating? It just doesnβt make sense. And hearing cheap peopleβs comments about price has honestly been frustrating.)
I absolutely have had many really AWESOME customers and Iβm so grateful and thankful for them! Thank you for those who never questioned price once it was given, who loved my work, who were genuinely thankful for what you ordered !
I appreciate you supporting my small business!
I hope everyone understands where I am coming from and Iβll be in touch when/if I decide to start this back up again after summer! βοΈ
