Corporate Christmas Gifting 🎄

I know it feels far too early to be thinking about this, but Christmas will be here before you know it!!

If you are thinking of treating your employees, customers, or wider network, please get in touch sooner rather than later!

There is an expected rise in Cocoa prices coming this October so although it isn’t like me to be so organised, I’m trying to plan ahead!!

Happy Monday Morning!!

We’ve gained quite a few new followers recently, particularly after last week’s market and through our lovely new stockists, so I thought I would do a quick reintroduction while I have my morning coffee.

I’m Nicola, baker, pastry chef, chocolatier, stress head and everything in between.

Before cakes took over my life (and my kitchen) my career was built as an HR Manager in logistics and then manufacturing. Baking was something I started doing more seriously during Covid.

When the offices reopened and life started returning to normal, I decided to take the leap, leave HR behind and turn something I loved into a completely new career.

I went back to the fabulous Sheffield College to retrain as a pastry chef, and Happy Friday Treats gradually grew from there.

Now, you’ll find me making everything from wedding and celebration cakes to macarons, chocolates and bakes — while juggling being a mum of three ❤️

Running a small business without a shopfront can be challenging. We don’t have people walking past our window every day, and I’m definitely not someone who manages to post on social media consistently while juggling everything else.

So I genuinely mean it when I say thank you to all our followers.

Every purchase, follow, like, comment, share and recommendation helps more than you realise.

So whether you’ve been here for years or you’ve only just found us this week — thank you for being here. 🩷

Taste testers are eagerly waiting for them to set before they can dig in 😂
