This is a post I’ve started, deleted, rewritten, and stared at more times than I’d like to admit… because I’m not really sure how to put into words what Magnolia’s Makings has meant to me. 💕
For now, I’ve made the difficult decision to temporarily close Magnolia’s Makings and step away from baking so that I can give my time and attention where it’s needed most…with my family.
My daughter plays 3 sports, my fiance travels work (I get him 24 hours every week) and with my brothers kidney failure, I need to be more present🥺💕
This little bakery started as an idea in my kitchen, named after my girl, and somehow turned into something so much bigger than I ever imagined. What started with cupcakes became late nights in the kitchen, farmers markets, sold-out tables, celebrations I was trusted to be a tiny part of, new friendships, familiar faces, and a community that showed up for me over and over again.
Every order. Every share. Every recommendation. Every person who stopped by my stand. Every message telling me you loved something I made. Every person who trusted me with a birthday, wedding, shower, holiday, or just a random Tuesday that needed something sweet… thank you.
You allowed me to build something that I am incredibly proud of.
This past year has brought a lot of changes for my family and for me personally, and right now I know that the best thing I can do is take something off my plate… even when it’s something I love.
So this isn’t goodbye🥺💕
It’s just see you later🥹
The mixers will still be here, the recipes aren’t going anywhere and Magnolia’s Makings will always hold such a special place in my heart. I hope when life settles down a little (maybe this winter) I’ll be able to turn the oven back on and bake for all of you again.
Until then, from the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting this crazy little dream of mine. Thank you for choosing my small business, for cheering me on, and for making Magnolia’s Makings more than I ever thought it could be.
Our sweet moments, your sweet memories. 🌸🧁
For now, I’m going to go make some memories with the people who need me most🙏🏻💕
