Fifteen years ago, I was in a hard place. I needed a job but wanted to be at home with my babies. Cake decorating came to me quite unexpectedly, yet easily. I met Autumn Mills and a business was born. For fifteen years, you’ve supported me and allowed me to become part of your families and welcomed me into your most precious moments. I will forever be grateful. I’ve watched your babies grow as I watched my own. I’ve watched you get engaged and married. I’ve been there when you retired and your kids graduated. I’ve seen so many happy moments. It’s been amazing. For so long, I loved it, but for awhile now, I’ve needed more. I found myself dreaming of being in the classroom again. I’ve seen the world become more scary and more violent. I don’t know a lot, but I know it starts with children. I’ve been given the opportunity to teach Art and I’m so excited to start the next chapter of my life teaching kids the importance of Art, and hopefully giving them an outlet to express their emotions. My babies aren’t babies any more and it’s time for me to move on. There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude for what you’ve given me. I’ve taken my kids to school and picked them up and attended all the things. I spent the last days with my dads. It’s honestly been a charmed life and it’s all because of you. It’s time for me to hang up my piping bags, but I will never forget the kindness and loyalty and the life you allowed me to live for so long. I will still be doing the Cake Balls for Brewmasters and will take on a few cakes here and there, but for the most part, Wildflour’s is saying So Long and Thank You. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You’ve given me more than you will ever know.
(Don’t worry…if you have a date with me booked, I am committed to doing your cake! I’m just not taking any new orders for now)
