This is a difficult post to make… 💔
I never thought I’d be making a post like this, but I want to be honest with everyone. I’m struggling right now to keep The Eclipse Bakery. going. Sales have been extremely slow, and I’m having a hard time making ends meet while trying to keep my small business alive.
I put so much time, love, and effort into every cake I make, and baking is something I genuinely love doing. But the reality is that love alone doesn’t pay the bills, and I’m reaching a point where I may have to shut down my business if things don’t change. 😔
Being a home baker is hard. We’re competing not only with other talented bakers but also with big stores like Walmart that can offer cakes at much lower prices. I understand everyone has a budget, but homemade cakes take hours of work, ingredients, supplies, and so much love. It’s becoming harder to find customers willing to pay for that time and effort.
I’m not posting this for pity. I’m posting because I’m trying my hardest to keep something I’ve worked so hard to build. If you’ve ever ordered from me, shared my posts, recommended me to someone, or left a kind comment, please know that it means more than you realize.
If you’ve been thinking about ordering a cake, now would be the time. Even sharing this post or recommending my bakery to someone who needs a cake can make a difference.
I don’t want to give up on my dream, but I can’t keep doing this without support. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Every single order truly matters. 🖤🌙 - Em.
