JJ's of Newington

12/09/2026

Today, only a year after diagnosis and very shortly after getting the all clear after life changing treatment... my dad is hiking for Macmillan. To say thank you to all the nurses, doctors and others that helped throughout his treatment and recovery. They continue to provide ongoing support to those suffering and also the families of those suffering. My dad is so inspiring - from having his jaw literally chopped in half to be able to remove the cancer, to losing the ability to eat, open his mouth properly, to taste and he is barely recovered but the first thing he wanted to do was give back to those who helped him.

Hundreds of people doing this walk today have raised just under 1 million for those in need.. Let's get them over that line!

Any donation, big or small would be greatly appreciated! I know Macmillan means a lot to many of you - I know it does to us 💚

They say you can’t buy happiness, but you can buy cake... and honestly, that’s pretty close! 🎂
​To every one of you who has trusted me with your birthdays, weddings, and "just because" celebrations: Thank you. As a small creator, your feedback is the secret ingredient that keeps my oven running.

Some of you may have seen Jason's post..
To reitify we are closing JJ's of Newington with immediate effect.

Unfortunately due to the low footfall and lack of business we have no option but to close. We have tried to make it work here, we've tried all sorts of hours and days, menu changes. We appreciate those of you who donated to the fundraiser which honestly did help us get this far 🙏🏼

I will still be taking and fulfilling custom cake orders so please do not worry if you have placed orders with me 🫶🏼

Thank you to all of those who have shown us support, to those who welcomed us to Newington and thank you for all of the connections we have made along the way. Some of you have become like family to us and we will always welcome you, shop or not ❤️
