Baked by Alexandra

Important 🤍
As many of you know I don’t post much of my personal life onto my business page. I can’t believe I’m writing this but I felt like a post would be best as I have lots of outstanding enquiries and I won’t be getting back to anybody for a couple of days. On Monday night we had to say the hardest, most unexpected goodbye to our beloved Baby Boy Bruce 🐾 From the moment he was born he filled our lives with so much love and mischief and left an impression on everybody he met. The hole that has been torn in our little family feels so big and our hearts have been shattered into a million pieces. I have no idea how we are meant to pick those up and continue life without him. Throughout the short 7 and a half years we packed in so many beautiful memories and adventures but we had so many more left to make and it’s an absolute tragedy that he is no longer with us. I can’t believe we’re going through this again just weeks after also losing our precious girl Lily, I hope they’re causing plenty of mischief together now. Anyhow, I’ll be taking a few days to try and process before I’m back to work, responding to enquiries and sending my follow up’s from Sunday’s Fayre so I would just be so grateful for everyone’s patience. Thank you 🤍

Have you ever seen such a sweet little birthday boy 🥹 99% of baby / toddler cake pics consist of parents trying their hardest to stop hands going straight in for the good stuff 🙊🤣🍰🤍

🧡 🥂 NATALIE & LUKE 🥂🧡
Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness 🤍 I absolutely adored being a part of this beautiful celebration and can’t wait to share more soon 😍🍂 It’s also official that next year we only have 20 wedding slots left! In order to give myself the best work / life balance and ensure the highest standard for our weddings I have decided from next year onwards we will only work on one wedding per week, meaning slots are now even more limited and filling up so fast 🥹🤍

💜🧁 KHLOE, THE 🧁 QUEEN 🧁💜
It’ll never be a birthday for Khloe if the design didn’t incorporate cupcakes, it’s become quite the tradition 🧁🤍

🥂 CHEERS TO TEN YEARS 🥂
What better way to celebrate an amazing 10 years in business for the amazing than a cake in an on brand colour 🍑 filled with pictures of precious memories 🧡🍰

🐇 HOLLIE IS ONE 🐇
Okay so freehand piping is becoming extremely addictive to me at the moment as well as edible painting, such the perfect opportunity to be creative and let the design be truly organic 😍 I have so many clients recently that are happy to put their trust in my creative and artistic side and the results have been so beautiful 🤍

So proud to see our business here with some of the best 🫶🤍
