One of my busiest weeks ever ❀️✨
500 branded cupcakes made from scratch, 7 hours just making white chocolate discs for the logos to be stuck onto 😴

Baking, icing, boxing and finishing every single one
And I still made it to my boys’ basketball games on Friday night πŸ₯ΉπŸ€

A massive effort behind the scenes, but so grateful for orders like this πŸ™

It’s been years since I’ve had to close my books 😍

When I started this business just over eight years ago, I had an eight-year-old daughter and three boys under five β€” so I only worked part-time hours around my babies.

As my hours have grown over the years, so has the demand.

Even with increasing my availability, March is completely booked.

So grateful for the continued growth 🀍
April enquiries are now open.

Delivered this big, beautiful cake to Castaways Resort on Saturday 😍 Such a stunning venue.
But wow… that driveway πŸ˜…
Cake makers will understand the anxiety. I always say delivery is the most stressful part of the job β€” even after 8 years I still get super anxious. Literally gripping the steering wheel, leaning with the car like somehow that will stop the cake from tipping πŸ˜‚
Moral of the story: always opt for delivery!
