Sadly another local business not able to keep going with all the spiraling cost, when will something be done, all the best to BakesbyHope for the future
Evening everyone!
I know everyone will be sick of hearing the words cost of living crisis… but I just want to give an insight into my pricing.
Before I even have to buy ingredients ( which are extortionate) I have to pay for: x2 bin contracts, rent, insurance, van insurance, van tax, diesel, card terminals, electricity, water, equipment, boxes, stickers, labels, thank you cards, cleaning products, the list is honestly endless.
Every single thing I have listed has increased over the last 6 months, not including ingredients, which have doubled/ even tripled!
I know times are extremely tough for everyone, this is exactly why I have had to close 😢 plus surrounding bakeries being so cheap too!
I use the highest quality ingredients money can buy, I use the best chocolate, butter, eggs etc, because I want to give you guys a quality product! ( and big portions)
As I said I know times are so so tough right now so my 4 for £10 offer will run until I close, I would be so grateful for your support over the next month and abit 🤞
Just for example the malteser truffles in one slab of blondie costs £7 😱😱
Thank you to all my regulars who keep me ticking over!
Sorry for the little rant! It’s so hard when you put so much effort, care and thought into your products to be left with so much waste!
If you’ve made it this far into the post I salute you 🫶🏻
Lots of love,
A very tired and frustrated bakesbyhope
