💛 A New Season for Sweet Anna’s 💛
After much prayer and reflection, I’ve made the decision to step away from taking any cake orders. I will still fulfill my current commitments, but I won’t be adding anything new to my calendar for now.
When I began this journey 16 years ago, I never could have imagined how many incredible people, celebrations, and memories it would bring into my life. Sweet Anna’s has been one of my greatest blessings — not just because of the cakes, but because of you. Every wedding, birthday, and “just because” moment has meant so much to me and allowed me to fulfill a dream of being a stay at home mom.
Years ago, I asked the Lord to open the door for full-time ministry after I fell in love with serving with our Hangar Students. I said I would be willing to give up cakes even, if that was His will. He answered that prayer, and now I’m serving in a role that I love at my church for the past 10 months. But in preparing a recent lesson from Numbers 20:1–13, God reminded me that partial obedience is still disobedience. I realized I was still holding on — not only because I love being part of such special celebrations, but also because it helped fill a financial need that I wasn't trusting God to meet. Time and time again, God has proven Himself faithful to provide.
There might still be an occasional pop-up or treat made “just because” for those I love — but for now, I’m choosing to pause. My heart is being drawn more deeply into ministry, and I want to give my full focus to growing and learning where God is leading me.
To everyone who has ever trusted me to be a part of your milestones — thank you. For your love, support, and encouragement over the years — thank you. You’ve given me more joy and more memories than I could ever put into words.
If you’re looking for a cake in the meantime, I’d love to recommend a few amazing local bakers who pour their heart into what they do:
🎂 Cake Me Away Bakery in Dallas
🎂 Sweet Shenanigans in Stanley
🎂 Sugarlicious in Gastonia
I’m so grateful for each of you. Thank you for cheering me on in every season — your support has been the sweetest gift. 💛
