So you can imagine our delight at The Cakehouse when the last thing we were asked to cater in 2012 was a Christening! What better way to mark the New Year that lay ahead than providing 4 dozen cupcakes for a party in honour of a very little girl named Matilda Perry.
As her guests discussed what may lie ahead for the infant over chocolate, fudge, vanilla and lemon & poppy seed delights, our thoughts turned to what might be in store for The Cakehouse.
In some ways 2012 was a frustrating year for us. Despite putting in offers on 2 different properties we still don’t have a shop, which means our dream hasn’t yet been fully realised. But rather than end the year feeling deflated, Matilda’s christening reminded us to look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.
That’s why this year we plan to be busier than ever before! As well as collaborating with Oh Sugar Cake Company on big events, we also hope to work with Crafty Cakes and Slightly Wobbly Designs, as well fulfilling individual orders online (and there should be plenty of those if your comments on Twitter are anything to go by! We can’t name everyone here, but Kelley Byrne says our coffee & walnut cupcakes are her favourite, Rose Fulgoni likes our chocolate sponge and John Lane wants us to branch out into cheese cake!).
Of course we are still looking for a shop, but we have a good feeling that 2013 will be the year we find it. We know 13 is thought unlucky by some, but we believe a baker’s dozen is a pretty good omen for us!
So here’s
to the future – for Matilda, for us and for all our customers!
