2025, what a year! This year, I rarely turned away any orders and I am so proud of that. If I did turn down an order it was either because I was fully booked or not in town. I am eternally grateful that my little biz kept me *mostly* afloat this year and introduced me to many new clients/friends 🎂 I baked 216 orders, of which 7 were wedding cakes! That number does not include countless bake sales (iykyk) and a couple pop ups.
Gorda Bakes is sacred to me. She reminds me everyday of my strengths, my creativity, my childlike whimsy, my flavor for life, my hustle that seems to never burn out. Although 2026 will look very different, I can’t wait to continue to create cakes for you all! 💞
Next year, baking will no longer be my full time job, as I’ve accepted a position with an insurance firm in client services! This job will afford me some long overdue financial freedom and rest- I won’t need to bake for hours on end at the expense of my feet and back (ouchies!). I will still keep baking, just on a smaller scale, so if you know you’ll need a cake this year, let me know asap so we can get you on the calendar. 🩷
Thank yall for a memorable and spectacular year!!!!! Take a look at some of the cakes I haven’t posted on main from the rest of this year (September-December). Cheers to 2025, and welcome 2026! ✨
