There was a time that I LOVED baking! I had SO much passion in everything I made. That is, before it became a job. Someone once told me that being a professional baker takes away the fun and passion out of it. I took heed to her warning and carried on creating my business, which was fun and exciting AT FIRST. Now that I have been baking for about two years, I’m realizing that filling other people’s orders causes me more STRESS than anything else. It DOES take the fun out because there is an expectation there, I can’t express my creativity because what was paid for is what is expected. I have to follow other people’s rules.
With that said, and with a sad heart, I will be concluding my baking business and phasing out. The orders that I already have will be filled, but I WILL NOT be taking anymore orders.
Ultimately, it comes down to time and money. Without passion, the small amount of time I have to bake I want and NEED to spend on something more lucrative. One cake that is $180 at its simplest form, takes me 5-6 hours all together between baking, cooking, buttercream and decoration. Last week I got to the point where my body was very sick. I am juggling too much at once and it is not good for my mental health. I just hope I will be able to spark my passion for baking again. This time, I won’t make it a job.
I want to apologize to all my Sweeties that follow me and place orders with me. I will still be posting sweet treats at my leisure, on my personal page. Thank you. 🙏🏻
