Bittersweet Bake

This week has been one of the hardest I have ever experienced behind the scenes…

14 years of bittersweet and this ongoing added stress is breaking me.

The hardest part is our trade has been picking up and we have so many new LOVELY regulars.

We were finally settling in to East Freo

It’s been a difficult to watch and listen as people are disappointed that we haven’t been getting anywhere near our usual production up.

6 day weeks and countless after hour visits to to the shop not doing baking or creating has slowly been breaking my heart.

It’s been months of juggling being a Mum, running a business and project managing issues beyond my control that have now affected my mental health.

Something had to give and Friday it was me…

It’s been an incredibly hard decision to make but i need to close the shop and take time to have the issues properly address whilst not jeopardising our business and putting unnecessary pressure on staff.

If you have been to bittersweet you know we all LOVE what we do..
all my staff are true industry professionals and just GOOD humans!!

I’m so lucky to have had them around me to pull me through.

Bonnie Kaue Nick (and my Nick!) Sian Chloe Jenny and my littlest one Liam you are truly the best sorts..

The laughs the love the support you all give to everyone you come across is so rare…truly. Thank you.

We are experiencing numerous issues behind the scenes at our new site.
To say the move from Mossies has been hard is an understatement.
The constant set backs are costing us in production and our ability to get products out on time or at all.
Which is soul destroying and mentally hard to manage with everything else going on around us.
All we want is to bake lovely things and be the happiness the world needs right now.
Please be kind as we are doing absolutely the best we can to make it work but this year feels heavier than ever.
It’s no small thing being a small business right now…

What an incredible week!
Thank you so much for all who ventured down and visited.
It was hard work but my gosh did we love it.
