Ten years ago this week I was announcing to friends and family that I was “opening a bakery on Campus Corner in Norman!” Today friends, I’m letting you know that I will be closing the shop next month.
It’s not quite the timing I was expecting for the end of this chapter, but many variables and conversations led me to this decision and I am confident in it.
Of course I’m experiencing a variety of emotions right now, but know that I am at peace with my decision and have no regrets.
The best part of this business has always been the people. The customers, staff, and friends that have come and gone over the last nine years have made every day worth it. This place changed my life. It changed who I am. It made me the best version of myself and I have so many of you to thank for that. I’m not sure who I would be today without Crimson & Whipped Cream. The gifts that this business have given me will propel me forward for the rest of my life. You all have inspired me, educated me, challenged me, and supported me through it all. This little shop wouldn’t have made it these nine years without you. I can’t believe I got to spend NINE YEARS being your friend! I’ve seen your kids grow up and watched so many of you complete your college education. I’ve been there for engagements, weddings, and babies. There have been ups and downs and not all of us have parted ways on great terms, but know that you too are an important part of this story. There’s really no way for me to convey how important you have all been to me and this shop.
So please come by and say hello between now and our last day of business, Saturday November 9th (we will be hosting a private event on the 10th). Be sure to use your gift cards and order your favorite treats. I would love it if you could leave a favorite Crimson memory here on our social media! Thank you for everything!
