Something we'll miss seeing at the cakery, for sure! I've seen people just pull up half way onto the sidewalk for some cupcakes! "Yes, kids, this is fine. Get out!" "But, mom, we're on the sidewalk!" π§π¬π€£π€£π₯°
Cleaning the cakery out a little more. Some of the greatest employees I had the pleasure of working with gifted this to me for Boss' Day. So grateful for them! Memories forever cherished. ππ§π₯°πππ»
Cleaning out the cakery a little today, just a few of the handwritten "Thank You" cards we've received over the years. No, thank y'all! This is hard.... β€π€π
To everything there is a season.
Little did I know, my last wedding cake delivery would be on March 14th, 2020. Precautions taken for COVID-19 canceled all wedding cake orders at the beginning of what would have been a bustling wedding season. As well as, canceling cake decorating events and my most favored and profitable time of year- Cherry Blossom. This global pandemic brought financial hardship.
May 2020 marked Amanda's Cakery 10 Year Anniversary; 15 years decorating cakes and baking! I had hoped to celebrate and treat you all with complimentary cake- a small token of appreciation for your continued love and support for my small business.
Twenty-twenty was set as my comeback year! A revival after three years of infertility that had consumed my life and, at times, prevented me from taking on cake orders. I had accepted the reality of not birthing my own child, especially having been told by two doctors I'd never get pregnant on my own. I was ready to move on! The cakery was refreshed with a deep cleaning, updated with a new awning, signage, freshly painted bench, and beautiful new flower containers.
Then, once again, life had other plans. Unexpectedly at the age of 41, my husband and I would be blessed with the most beautiful miracle- I'm pregnant, finally! We were in disbelief and so thrilled!
.

I wish I could do both, but, with a lump in my throat and teary-eyed, I've made the heartbreaking decision to, sadly, close Amanda's Cakery effective immediately.
I'm looking forward to becoming a stay at home mommy to delight in every moment with my sweet baby boy arriving soon- August 2020.

The past 15 years have been an immensely rewarding and unforgettable career of making cakes, watching your families grow, and creating memories with you all- my sweet cake family. Thank you for the opportunity and your continued love and support of my small business, it has meant absolutely everything to me. I will miss seeing and baking for you. I love you all! πβ€οΈπ
Eternally grateful,
Amanda
Just a reminder, no "Cupcake Day" in June due to the Coronavirus. I'm so sorry. π

We could not be more grateful or proud!! It has been an immensely rewarding and unforgettable decade of making cakes and creating memories with you all- my sweet cake family. β€
As some of you may know, my road to entrepreneurship was not the easiest. Before my employment with Karen Holleman Cakes in 2005, Iβd never made a single cake. I didnβt even know how to operate a mixer. After a very short year and half of learning from the very best cake artist, I sadly lostβ¦ we sadly lost our beloved βCake Lady,β to pancreatic cancer. With the help of friends and family, I continued her cake business. In April 2010, her bakery and home caught fire leaving nothing except a few cake pans and cake stands. With five wedding cake orders that week and the unbelievable outpour of help and love from friends, family, and the community, we made them all! Soon after the fire, I decided it was time to open my own bakery.
In May 2010, Amandaβs Cakery was established- licensed, insured, inspected by the GA Dept. of Agriculture, and ServSafe Certified.
With all my heart, thank you- friends, family, our community, and my husband, for your continued love and support for my small business. It has meant everything. Love you all! β€π€π

My husband and I would like to give back to the community by donating cupcakes TODAY to those in need and essential workers in the downtown, Macon area. We are donating to my doctor's office & Daybreak (Ronald McDonald House is not accepting donations at this time). What other essential workers should we donate our delicious cupcakes? (We are looking for an easy and safe transaction to drop off) Please comment below the type of essential worker and direct contact. Thank you for all that you are doing! We miss baking for our beloved community β€
Awesome! If you see Peter's Flower Shoppe, that's Amanda's Cakery! ππβ€

Since staying at home due to the COVID-19, my facebook news feed has been filled with the most endearing exchanges among families. It just warms my heart seeing families bond over the baking and decorating of their own birthday cakes at home. It is the sweetest. Lots of yummy and beautiful cakes! Keep up the good work!
I'd recommend any parent do that for their child and/or with their child at least once in their lifetime. β€ππ₯³
I miss baking for y'all! π
Amanda's Cakery will not be reopening this coming Friday. That decision is based on CDC guidelines to help stop the COVID-19 contagion by limiting face to face contact, practicing social distancing, and staying at home. With the uncertainty of the virus, we are not taking on any future cake orders at this time.
Miss baking for you all!
Stay safe β€ππ»

Amanda's Cakery decided early on to shut down all services (wedding cake tastings, cake decorating classes, cake orders, and "Cupcake Day,") in Macon, GA, due to the COVID-19. I am SO THANKFUL that other restaurants have made the tough, but NECESSARY (!!!!) decision to close in an effort to stop the COVID-19 contagion.
I hope this too will help everyone in making the decision to STAY HOME as much as necessary! This is serious.
Financially, this has and will continue to negatively impact soooo many people, including my business. The past couple of days, I've been writing refund checks to customers for cake decorating classes and cake orders. This is an unprecedented time. I've disregarded my own policy of "non-refundable deposit" on wedding cake contracts and refunded 100% of those deposits to brides.
May 2020 will mark my 10 Year Anniversary of Amanda's Cakery. Plans for an opening celebration on Cupcake Day showering my cake family and friends with goodies will, more than likely, not happen, but necessary for the betterment of the community's health and my own.
I hope this too will help everyone in making the decision to STAY HOME as much as necessary! This is serious.
Dear cake family & friends,
I am taking the COVID-19 seriously. In an effort to help stop the contagion & in compliance with recommendations from the CDC, I am staying home. Therefore, I will not be taking any wedding cake tasting appointments or cake orders and I will be cancelling all cake decorating classes and Cupcake Days until further notice.
My sincerest apologies. As always, safety and health comes first.
Take care,
Amanda

Cherry Blossom is our favorite time of the year! Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus, both Cherry Blossom Cupcake Days- April 3rd & 4th, are cancelled. There will not be a Cupcake Day in April. I'm so sorry! I'm gonna miss baking for y'all. π

Maconβs largest annual festival has been canceled.
Thinking about 'The Cake Lady'- Karen Holleman today. On this day 13 years ago, she passed from pancreatic cancer. A little piece of all of our hearts went with her.
She taught me how to bake and decorate, before Karen I had never used a mixer or baked. We enjoyed listening and singing to our favorite Dirty Dancing and Duets Soundtrack. Karen sang beautifully and alongside the choir members at Forest Hill Methodist Church. We watched the Soaps, or murder trials on HLN TV. We sang, we laughed, we debated, we decorated cakes, we loved, and we were part of your 'Big Memories' making cakes for weddings, first birthdays, anniversaries, and more.
Will and I cut our wedding cake to Dirty Dancing's 'The Time of My Life,' in her memory.
I miss my K-Rock. I know Macon misses their 'Cake Lady.' We love you, Karen. You will always have a place in our hearts.
I must say we adopted the coolest poodle for Cherry Blossom 2020!
For those who aren't in the know, these poodles are decorated by local artists, in February they are judged, and then adopted by downtown businesses for Cherry Blossom.
This gorgeous "John Lennon Tribute" poodle was created by Randy & Sherri Goss. Beautiful job, guys! Thank you, Montene Carroll with Think Pink Committee! This is my first year adopting a poodle, & I must say, perfect fit... love John Lennon's music!
Stop by and see him, he's posed in our window! β€
