In a Holiday Rut? I Was Too.

Wow this winter season has been tough. Trying to get out Christmas designs and pre-orders felt like pulling teeth from myself! I didn’t know what to create, nothing was coming “easy” to me like it usually does, and it was so hard to allow myself “grace” during that time because all I wanted to do was allow enough time for pre-orders. And I definitely did not. Well, didn’t do a decent job marketing it anyways, so I am truly grateful to all who did order! Seriously every single order makes a difference. I feel every order. I get excited. I call my mom. This is my business, the money I make helps me re-invest into my business to continue improving the customer experience. It also helps me keep ingredients on the shelf, my lights on, my rent paid. I don’t know if people fully see that when they support small, they’re actually helping someone to change their life, to chase their dreams. I do not take that lightly so thank you so much for trusting me. Especially my repeat customers. It really does mean everything.

This got off topic fast, but if you know me, that’s just how I talk 😂 ANYWAYS. Taking time to actually rest (and pray) has helped immensely. I feel like I lost my sense of purpose for a while, like I just had to get products out for people to buy, but that’s not why I do this. It never was. I do this for the smiles it puts on peoples’ faces. For the celebrations made extra special because of a tiny customization. For the “OMG where did you get that?!” moments, because it truly is art to me. Taking what means the most to you and turning it into an edible form of art is why I do this. I love baking, I have definitely been blessed by my grandmother in that department because a lot of times I’m out here winging it hoping for the best and trying again and again if it doesn’t work. It’s a calming hobby turned business, turned mission to bring something extra special to everyone through both their eyes and their taste buds.

I think I am finally back on track, like I got my mojo back haha. I am so ready to create for you and I cannot wait to see where this year takes us!

A happy and healthy new year to you all!

❤️ Noelle
