This week, as I was working in the kitchen, a couple walked in, asking if I had any spare cakes for sale. By chance, I had just made a small cake, though it wasn’t iced yet. I told them it would take about 15 minutes to finish and asked what the occasion was, so I could decorate it accordingly.
They told me it was for their son’s wedding anniversary, and as they said his name, I immediately recognized them. I had made their son’s wedding cake—a memory that instantly took me back to one of my very first wedding cakes, made even when I was still working from my home kitchen! I had also delivered a special cake for their son’s first anniversary, ordered by the groom’s parents.
It was such a beautiful moment, as I realized this was the first time I was meeting them in person. My heart swelled with warmth and gratitude, remembering how this family had supported me so early in my journey when I was just starting my business.
While the couple went to grab a quick coffee in town, I finished decorating the small cake. When they returned, they were overjoyed. I asked them to send my warmest regards to the bride and groom.
It was a small, simple moment, but it made my entire day, reminding me of the deep connections and the love that has carried me through this journey.
