What does one do with covid ?
One of my staff now has it and so does my little girl who I’ve been trying to maintain her fever .

So ,yes I haven’t emailed you back right away as I also got a beautiful side effect of vertigo and double vision alongside body aches and pains .

There is nobody at the bakery so answers will be checked once we return.

We have been closed for a week which is very scary for me as we literally turn over to survive weekly .

I unfortunately am still a struggling business trying to play catch up after losing everything last year.

I am praying we can reopen next week so on the interim please bare with me as I try to find the strength to answer your emails. I just regained my voice but my body still aches and I know I just cannot physically produce what I would normally do on a daily 😞.
I will keep everyone updated when we have a reopen date.
Until then it’s just pick up orders for right now .

I wish I could say I got this 3 day wing it and feel better covid but apparently I didn’t .
Thank you to all who have helped my family this week and brought soup and the essentials as I struggle with caring for my kids at the same time.
I am grateful for each one of you 🙏🏻

Praying 🤲🏻 for answers on the interim.

Our beautiful baker friend Fresh AF bakeshop is going through a bakers nightmare . If you can purchase a gift card I’m sure it would help. Every cent counts for a little business.

I feel fully as I have covid and can’t operate . Every day counts as we literally turnover to survive .

Please go shop or support them .
🙏🏻

Sending baker support . Hopefully you find the parts sooner than later 🤗 💪🏻 you got this ! Fingers crossed it all gets rectified soon.

** BAKERY UPDATES **

alright friends, some small business honesty coming at you.

Our (brand new) oven is broken. Obviously not ideal for a bakery and we only have the one, so it's not something I can work around. It's going to take about 7 weeks from the manufacturer to get the part we need to repair it. I've asked for a loaner in the mean time, but that's not looking promising

What does that mean for us? I have no effing clue. If we closed for 7 weeks, I would go bankrupt. Plain and simple. Between our operating expenses like utilities, payroll, and the cost of ingredients plus the debt of buying equipment to open, I quite honestly just don't have any money to buy a replacement.

So here's the plan. We can bake off site for the time being, but only certain items. Macarons don't behave nicely in my oven at home and I don't have the capacity to bake croissants / buns for morning breakfast and get them to the shop while maintaining quality. These items will unfortunately be on hold until we have a functional oven

What we can do is be resilient and resourceful AF and come up with some new items. Baker Liz & I are working on some new cookies, snack mixes, and items like trifles and other things that require minimal oven space / bake time.

No is not an option , and we'll find a way to get through this next hurdle

🚨 Covid Sucks 🚨

Well yesterday I felt odd and my body aches were beyond anything normal. I could barely walk .
I also got an annoying cough ,so I took a test close to midnight and the line instantly appeared.
I am trying to isolate due to a fever which is almost impossible with two kids at home with me.
As of right now we will be closed this week until I figure out the next step.

I just can’t respond to every single person right now . I am currently in a lot of pain and can’t talk as a I’ve lost my voice .

Thank you for your patience and understanding .
We will hopefully see you all soon once I am on the mend 🙏🏻

We are closed today unfortunately.

As a baking /cook team of 1 (yes just me ) … I have opted to take Mondays & Tuesdays off to recoup from the weekend orders and prep and restock for the rest of the week.

I’ve tried so hard to keep up but my body and mind are not capable of going for days without sleep.
Last week I went four days with 2 hours sleep (if that)…on each day and let me tell you it isn’t fun .

I was in a lot of pain from standing up 24/7 for six days straight. I didn’t see my family for the entire week , again…

Until I can find a reliable team of part time bakers to hire ,Mondays are out. I have tried but reality is I need to find a balance .

I can’t keep this up forever as I do need a day off to disconnect .

Sorry for the inconvenience but there is only so much I can physically produce for the bakery and custom orders alone without damaging or wearing myself out.
We literally sell out daily so I bake off over 100 items a day!
The support is amazing and it’s what we need to grow . So I thank you for that 🙏🏻
I am truly blessed to have such amazing customers surrounding us .

Thank you for your patience as I transition.

Keeping it real that this is a small scale bakery and this is the reality .
One day we will get there . Today is not that day .

We will see you on Wednesday and our specials of the week will be posted then.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This is my circus 🎪

These are my monkeys 🐵🙈🙉🙊

Mother’s Day is truly a day to say thanks and to appreciate the reason we are given the term “mom” .

Whether it’s a mother by birth, adoption, stepmom, dad who takes both rolls, aunts or other family members who step in to fill that gap.
Happy Mother’s Day!!

I know I do everything so that my kids could have a good life and future . However that may be 💕

A big shout out to all hard working moms out there. I hope you get treated well today 🤗 💐 🍫 🍷
