Transparency….
This bake shop was opened in memory of my Nana and Papa. Jim and Jana Ferkovich, the bright spot in any dark day. Little did I realize, it was also a way to handle my grief. I was a large part, of their care, especially near the end. Not having them to “take care of anymore” left me with a void I needed to fill. Peachy Keen Bake Shop was born. 🧡 Adding in the loss of both of my 2 uncles in this time has truly torn me to pieces, along with my family.
When cost of supplies skyrocketed I did my absolute best to keep my prices low and keep going. A huge part of me feels I have failed. Closing the store front was a huge heartbreaker, but I tried my best to keep going from home. Through much thought, meditation, and prayer…. I’ve discovered mental health is incredibly important. The idea of disappointment form amazing customers, judgment from community and peers, and total failure has made me keep going as long as I could.
I tried my absolute hardest, I’ve invested every cent to my name, hours and hours of time and effort….I am proud of how hard I’ve worked, I truly am. However, it is time to say goodbye for now. Peachy Keen Bake Shop will be permanently closed. Someday, I truly hope to come back better and stronger than ever. The thick skin I’ve tried to grow when it comes to false reports to the state and the rumor mill in town has been challenging.
🤎🧡I need to allow myself time to heal, grieve, and improve my mental health. 🧡🤎 for now you’ll find my cheerful self waitressing and pushing myself through this thing called life!
