My first cake and my two favorite cakes...it is with a completely broken heart that I am announcing that we are permanently closing our doors effective immediately. With the rising cost of everything, utilities, packaging, rent, insurance, and the awful weather keeping everyone in for the past two months, I am sad to say we just couldn't maintain it all and my health is starting to struggle with the stress.
I tried very hard and was advised to reach out for help. After giving that a hard thought, I realize that everyone is in the same situation right now and it is scary. How could I ask for help when I see so many around me just fighting to find a meal? I'm happy that our Neighbors Helping Neighbors program was helpful to many, but sad that I will not be able to help anymore. I hope someone else can start something like it.
I want to thank you all for your support of my small business for the past 3 plus years. It has meant the world to myself and my family. You all have meant a great deal to us with your smiles, the laughter, and even the tears we shared. You were all more than just a cake or cookie order or a meatloaf dinner lol. We think about people when we don't see them and are filled with joy when they come back. We know your names and regular orders. That is something you don't find in a big box store.
I also want to thank Bill and Brandon, my right and left arms, for sticking by me through it all. Without them I would have been lost. I can't forget MaryBeth (MB) who has been my rock, shoulder to cry on, grand advisor, the best listener, event model, and word of mouth marketer a girl could ask for. Without her I would have fallen to pieces.
So what's next? Packing up, selling my stuff, taking a well deserved physical and mental break, spring cleaning my house, then we'll see.
Thank you all...you will be missed. 😭
