🎂 Birthday post incoming… and yes, food is involved because… me 😅
So today was my birthday 🎉 and honestly… my family know me far too well 😂
This morning I woke up to my daughters singing me Happy Birthday and bringing me hot banana bread straight from the oven to my bed 🥹🍌🍞 (yes… warm, GF,homemade, still steaming 😍). My little girls are definitely turning into bakers like their mum and I’m secretly VERY proud… although slightly worried I may have future competition 👀😂
And because clearly I’m extremely spoiled 🙈, my partner arrived with a hot coffee in bed (the way to my heart ☕️) and later made me my favourite cake AGAIN, just like last year ❤️ He wasn’t overly happy with how it turned out this year (typical perfectionist 😅), but honestly? It was so good.. and I ate way too much from it🙈
Now… talking of cake and afternoon teas…
As many of you know, at Our Coffee Shop, afternoon teas are a BIG thing for us. I bake A LOT, I’m picky with quality, and I genuinely care what people get for their money.
And because I’m forever on a mission to find somewhere where I can sit down and think:
“YES! Finally! Somewhere as good… or even better than ours!” 👏
I’ve tried places all over Wirral… and now beyond too 👀
Without being mean (because I genuinely don’t like putting other places down ❤️), I still haven’t found anywhere that comes close to the quality, quantity, freshness and value for money we offer at Our Coffee Shop.
And trust me… I’ve REALLY tried 😅
Today’s birthday tea adventure costs 50% more than ours, and even if I genuinely thought this will be the one!!..the difference in cakes, sandwiches, portions and overall offering was honestly quite shocking 🙈 (I’ll let the photos/video do the talking 😂📸)
Maybe it’s because I’m too fussy. Maybe because I’m a baker. Or maybe because after nearly 8 years, I still care too much about making sure people leave full, happy and feeling like they got proper value ❤️
Anyway… enough birthday rambling 😂
Thank you to everyone who supports our little family business — every coffee, cake, brunch and afternoon tea means more than you know 🥹❤️
Now tell me… what’s your ULTIMATE birthday breakfast in bed? 👇😂
