May 6, 2026, Good evening to all of my customers, friends and families. I just found out that there is a rumor going around that I am retired. Gee, I wish someone had told me that because lately I have been working long hours running this bakery!!! If I'm supposed to be retired, then who has been making all of the cakes and cookies that I have been posting every week. The last few months have been really hectic around here because my husband had hip replacement surgery. Thanks to our awesome daughter-in-law who is an RN, he was able to do all of his recovery here at home along with the help of our son. He is fully recovered and back at work. If you ever drive up during the day and the closed sign is still up, it's because I am really busy baking or decorating, and forgot to flip the sign. That's why you need to call or text me before you come. When I posted that I was taking time off several weeks ago, it was because I just needed some time off. I have no plans on retiring any time soon because this is the only life that I love. It may get hectic and crazy most of the time, but what else would I do. Plus, I don't think that HOLT CAT (all 3 places), Lipsitz and TYMCO, among other businesses, would want me to stop. Majority of my customers have been with me for a very long time. Now I am watching their children graduate, get married and have children of their own. By the way, this week, the weeks of May 15th and May 23rd are completely booked. May 30th is getting very full too. That's why I ask for the deposit right away to guarantee that day for you. I don't reply to texts, emails or phone calls after hour I'm in bed by 8 pm and up at 3 am. Sometimes, I have shorter nighttime hours than that. Let me know if you honestly think that is what everyone calls "retirement"! I was wondering why several people thought that I wasn't making cakes anymore. Thanks for letting me clear up this matter! Be kind and friendly to each other because you may have made someone happier by doing that! Take care and stay well! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY in advance to everyone!
