A note from Anna:
I have decided to close sweetheart after 9 wild, glorious flower-filled years of business. It’s a bit bittersweet….I’ve built something super special, I’ve put my whole heart into it, I’ve worked incredibly hard to try to make it sustainable….but it’s time for me to move on and explore life without it, I feel it in my bones that this change is the best for my health.
I will be operating through the end of December 2022, books are closed for cakes but I will be offering weekly pastry boxes and holiday cookies and cakes right up until Christmas.
I’m not going to quit baking forever, I’d love to be able to teach you all what I’ve learned, to share this craft and my passion in other ways.....I’m opening my mind to all of the possibilities and it feels extremely exciting to imagine bringing you all along with me into this next chapter.
I am so incredibly grateful to each and every one of you, for all of the beautiful and delicious memories we’ve made together, the support and encouragement, the community behind this business, it’s just amazing. So….let’s fill out 2022 and help this business go out with a bang! Thanks! Xoxo
