My little baking business has outgrown my home setup.
We were then given a deadline to move to bigger premises so we could get the certificates we need to continue operating.
For months now we have been planning the bakery of dreams where you could come over any day and there would be fresh breads and pastries on demand.
But…
Given the current situation with power cuts getting worse and never any better, it’s been really hard to do my job.
Like most businesses, it starts with the passion but then reality strikes.
Going commercial, for me, is going far from the joy of making everything with my own hands. Also, we can’t take on the cost of building a bakery from scratch with the power backup system it will need.
So, if going bigger is the only way I’m allowed to operate, unfortunately I will have to close down.
It was not an easy decision and I write this with a heavy heart.
I’m extremely proud of myself for how far I’ve come with this small business with all the long hours of day and night working on my feet.
It was a great pleasure to welcome you to my home every week and get to know your family and friends.
On the photo, the last loaves out of the oven yesterday at 13:44 (16 minutes before the power went off).
We started baking at 2:30 but still had to sit and wait from 6 until 10:30 as the power was off again.
So goodbye, for now.
Love,
Tati
