re: Running a cake business during the school holidays

Hi Alpa, I know exactly what you mean. It’s very hard to juggle kids and cakes! I wish I had a solution other than scale back on the cake orders completely, it’s what I’ve done and I only have one 3yr old. I put so much time and effort into my cakes that I was having to stay up until sometimes 3am to finish, then get up at 6:30am as that’s when my son is awake 😫. It was also impacting on what I consider an enjoyable hobby, turning it into a chore that I wasn’t enjoying as much. Maybe when my son starts school I will make more cakes, but only during term time. I always want to put my son (and my marriage) first. I hope you find a happy medium, I think this is something that all cake makers have problems with x
