A little pause 🤍
From 10th August to 10th September, I’ll be taking a step back and won’t be accepting any new orders.
The last few months have been extremely stressful, and the truth is, I’ve been running on empty for quite some time. As The Cake Lab UK is my only source of income, I’ve continued pushing through, hoping I would eventually reach some sort of level ground. But with ingredient costs and bills constantly increasing, it sometimes feels as though the more I work, the less I actually make.
Alongside running my business, my biggest role is being a full-time mum to my two-year-old—and trying to balance motherhood, orders, admin and everyday life has caught up with me.
I’ve already reduced the number of orders I’ve taken this year to try to create a healthier balance between being Mummy and being a cake maker, but I’ve reached a point where my body is telling me very clearly that I need to stop, rest and properly reset.
Any orders already booked between these dates will continue as normal, so please don’t worry. This break only means that I won’t be taking on anything additional.
Thank you so much for your patience, understanding and continued support. Taking a break from your only source of income is incredibly scary, but I know it’s something I need to do—for myself, my family and ultimately, the future of The Cake Lab UK.
I’ll be back from 10th September, hopefully feeling rested, refreshed and ready to create again. 🤍
