Below I've shared 14 photos of bakes when I started out, not quite the standard of today's work but we all start somewhere! π«£ To 15 photos of work I can't believe I've produced over the years, they do say practice helps! β€οΈ
This year alone, I've been apart of 39 weddings, 39! That's people trusting me with their special day cakes, that feeling never changes and I pinch myself everytime. There are so many incredibly bakers around and yet me, little old me, hiding in my small kitchen, is chosen π©·π«Άπ»
Just wanted to share that although I'm so proud to be apart of paid weddings and celebrations, I'm also incredibly lucky to of been able to donate 35x big cakes, 30x12 cupcake boxes, 35x Β£10/Β£50 raffle prizes to schools, vets, hospital coffee mornings, nursing homes. 11 cakes for my black card winner and tons of pay what you cake offers this year! Oh, not forgetting how many donation tray bakes were brought throughout the year by the lovely Carole and Emma who dropped them off to our NHS workers, firefighters, vet surgery's and Dr surgery's! For everyone 1 they brought, I donated 1, we fed a lot of wonderful people cake this year. What incredible ladies they are! This will roll over into 2026, let's hope we can do more π₯Ή
This is no way me "bragging" but I will share proudly of what we've achieved this year because I'm proud to be where we are! π Buuuuut that is only thanks to all you who choose me and who share my name around. I am so so so incredibly grateful for each and everyone of you who support my small at home business, it allows me to still earn pennies and look after my crappy health conditions from home, a position people dream to be in, I pick my own days and hours to work, this year I'm able to work around seeing my Nephew and Niece's Christmas plays, that's so special! I can lay in if I want to, have baths/get in my PJS in the middle of the day, I can take time off if I need with no judgement. Everyday I count my lucky stars! π₯Ή
Biggest shout outs to my brilliant Husband because I couldn't do this without him by my side, to the wonderful Amanda who works her butt off for all of your incredible fondant items, Alicia who makes some card toppers for me and Lisa who prints your edible images π©·π©·π©·
