Cake38 Creating beautiful cakes for any occasion

A little look back at some of the cakes I’ve made this month, a weekend away, and a few things worth celebrating.

One of my biggest highlights has to be achieving a 5 ⭐️ food hygiene rating again.

And of course, a little celebration with my husband. He has supported me from the very beginning and has always been encouraging.

Running a small business can be hard. Not everyone will like, comment or share posts — and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean my business isn’t doing well.

I’m still here, still creating, still getting orders and still growing. So here’s to another month of Cake38

Thank you to everyone who orders, recommends me, shares my posts, tells a friend or simply follows along. It genuinely means a lot.

Now… bring on September, the busiest month!

There’s a little story behind Cake38…

My love of baking started many years ago, spending time in the kitchen with my mum and my grandma. Our recipe book of choice was the trusty Be-Ro book, and we’d choose something to bake before spending the afternoon together in the kitchen.

Soon I was baking and decorating birthday cakes.

These are some of my very first creations, dating all the way back to the 1980s!

I didn’t do a huge amount of baking during the 1990s… I was too busy enjoying myself! 😂

Then, when I had my daughter in 2001, I found my passion for baking again. Slowly but surely, I started building my skills and learning new techniques. I mastered rolling out fondant, covering cakes and creating decorations, and I was becoming more confident with every cake I made.

My Husband said those words that changed everything:
“You’re really good at this. Why don’t you start charging for them?”

And that’s exactly what I did. I registered my little business, and Cake38 was born.

Fast forward to today, and I honestly LOVE what I do.

It’s such an honour knowing that my cakes become the centrepiece of so many special celebrations. They appear in photographs, and become part of memories that will be cherished for years to come.

So, to every single person who has ordered a cake, recommended me, shared my posts, liked, commented or supported my little business in any way

THANK YOU.

PENCIL ME IN… IT’S ALREADY PROVING POPULAR!

After posting my little video the other day, I realised that recording myself in the car with the windows open probably wasn’t my finest production moment 😂🙈

So, I thought I’d explain a little more about my Pencil Me In service

We often know a year (or more!) in advance that a milestone birthday or special celebration is coming up. You might already have the date, but not quite know the finer details yet — how many people you’ll be serving, the theme, design or even exactly what type of cake you’ll want.

That’s where Pencil Me In comes in.
You can contact Cake38 and ask me to provisionally pencil you in for your date.

📌 Please note: this does NOT secure your date. Your booking is only confirmed once payment has been received.

What it does mean is that if your pencilled-in date starts getting busy, I’ll contact you to check whether you’d still like to go ahead.

It’s simply a little extra peace of mind and thinking time, helping you get one more thing organised when life is already so busy.

And clearly I need to think ahead too - I need to buy myself a 2027 diary, because I’ve already had several enquiries for Pencil Me In

Thank you for keeping Cake38 so busy!

Much love, Kirsty
