I wanted to share this order for a number of reasons. Most importantly, it is absolutely adorable 😍
But here is the downside; my air brush is broken so I ended up having to hand pipe all those checkers. It took a verrrrrrry long time. Worth it? Yes! It caused me to fall way behind though so cinnamon rolls just got done about an hour ago, some of the pastries weren't ready right at 7, and I had no time to sleep at all lastnight. This is not a complaint. It is an example of how easily things can get behind for a business.
The reason I'm sharing this is because often times, when I post that I'm behind (which is often) or that we have too much product, etc, I do realize how it looks without the "why" included so I wanted to explain. This is a very small business. We are cramped and utilizing every inch of space possible. I have ONE oven and no proofer so everything has to rise at room temp (bread takes 8-12 hours). I can only have so many people working at once because there simply isn't room for more. Believe me, we work HARD!! The beautiful thing is, we often can't keep up because of our limited space and our amazing customers buying things as we make them ❤️ I have reached a point where it's hard to add more to our plate without the proper space and equipment. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds just lying around to add the things we need. It will take time, but we WILL get there. Small business is hard. Period.
I know there are not too many businesses that are so transparent and it might be off putting to some, but I firmly believe that people that take the time to visit a business deserve to know why it's not always perfect. After all, YOU are what is keeping my head above water 😉 So please remember that you don't always know what goes on behind the scenes and when things seem a bit chaotic and unorganized, there might be a very good reason for it! I'm saying this on behalf of all businesses, not just my own. One thing I can assure you is that if your visit wasn't what you expected, I will always do my best to make it right if you let me know!! I can also say with confidence that most small business owners would do the same. It's easy to get upset when you have your heart set on something and spend your hard earned money to then be disappointed. Just try and remember that we all need a little grace from time to time. I have definitely been blessed with some of the absolute kindest customers on this entire planet. On my worst days, there are always plenty of you that make me smile 😀
I really just wanted to give a huge thank you to all of you for always being so patient and understanding. You're the reason I keep pushing!! Please don't ever hesitate to let us know how we can improve! We are here for YOU!!
I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful weather today!! We are here until 1 if your sweet tooth needs anything 😉
If you stayed this far, thanks for listening 🤗
