Half term plot twist! 💙
Over the last six months something’s shifted for us. A huge proportion of our in-store sales now comes from school kids…pizzas, sausage rolls, milkshakes, ice creams, drinks etc.
When half term arrives…so does the quiet. Owning a small business involves recognising the patterns and adapting to protect the bottom line. It is about learning your rhythms, not fighting against them.
So we’ll be closed in store for most of this week, with a couple of Pop Up sessions which I’ll share once confirmed 👀
BUT, don't panic...the Cake Shed will be stocked all week with fresh bakes 🍰
And honestly? The Cake Shed really has been such a game changer for us!
Evenings and weekends are so busy and it's great hearing everyone's reactions! Yesterday a lovely family saw it for the first time and came back later on and stocked up on goodies for their visit. Then I was chatting away through the camera with a local about how his dog is doing whilst he paid online for a late night treat!
We really appreciate everyone's support and honesty 😘
I’m thinking of doing a Fresh Cream Pop Up on Friday...because half term still deserves Vanilla Slices! Will confirm asap! 💙
Anything else you want to see this week? Scones? Fudge Cake? Tarts? Drop us a message and I'll grab my magic wand 🪄✨
