I’ve been putting off this announcement for a bit because it’s a hard one to make. After three and a half amazing years, I have made the decision to hang up my apron and close Here for the Cake. Any remaining confirmed 2021 orders will still be honored, but I will not be accepting new orders. Some of you may have seen it coming. I’ve been on social media less, I took down my easy order cakes and stopped offering monthly tasting boxes. To be honest, this has been in the works for the past six months and I was slowly preparing for it. The entire time I have been running Here for the Cake I have also been working a corporate job part time (full time the first year-ish!). Originally the goal was to try it out for a year and then determine if I could run the bakery full time. I never planned on doing both for this long. An opportunity has presented itself and I will be returning to the corporate world full time. It just makes the most sense for this season of my life. I will be forever grateful to all my customers for supporting me over the years and all the wonderful industry friends I have made. This experience taught me so much, and I’m so happy I believed in myself enough to give it a shot. I know I’m not quitting completely though. I’ve been selling my baked goods on and off for nearly a decade, so you may still see me pop in every now and again. Not to mention I still have dozens of photos to share!

Again, thank you all so much. This has been a memorable journey and I owe it all to your support and encouragement. I feel like there is so much more to say but, for now I’ll just end it with …in a while, crocodile 💚
