π It is with great sadness I am officially closing my Small Cake Business after 10 years of hard work.. I am totally heartbroken and in tears.
The establishments agenda has been to wipe out Small Businesses and the middle class hard working Americans trying to make ends meet in this ridiculous economy and they have succeeded once again here.
I tried every avenue I could but I just can't afford the cost to stay in business any longer. I raised prices to accommodate the last three years of growing costs and I have exhausted all options.
Please pray for me that I will find a job for now that I can at least have a steady income?
Thank you for all of your kind words and compliments on the posts I did of my designs over the last 2 years. It meant to world to me. Now I am going to go have a good cry and pray...π
Love to you all.π The former QakeLadyπ₯

So sorry to hear this.. This past 3 years have been very hard on all. I have seen so many things in the last 3 years for my small business that I have never even imagined before. Some of my vendors have raised their prices 4 times in 2022. Standard in the industry was to give 30-60 day notice of doing so. No one is doing that anymore. Don't get me started on lead times for items.
So, I commend you for holding on so long and giving it a try. It is almost like all the hurdles set up on purpose.
Good luck and I hope you land somewhere else where you can call home. Blessings to you.

When one door closes several more open! Stay strong its hard I know but Gid has got us all! I woukd try and sell before ya close. You might have somone else that wants to keep it going. I had to sell my salon after 10 years of having it also back in 2019 so I definitely know how it feels! Its amazing you made it 10 years! That means you were successful as majority new businesses dont make it past 3/4 years! Who knows what the future holdsπ€·ββοΈ there is a chance ya can get back in soon still!

I can't let go of those things yet, that would send me over the edge right now to sell "stuff"... I'm not trademarked but I thank you for your insight..Stay strong.. faith and prayers for youππ

If it helps, you are not alone.
I had a business for two decades. It was a beautiful little retail store; we sold music boxes and jewelry and home fragrances; all sorts of lovely things. The place was a visual feast, and gave me a much-needed creative outlet. It wasn't work; it was fun!
During the Obama years, it became apparent that I would have to close the store. It wasn't as devastating to me as you may think, only because I was awake and aware at that time, and knew that everything was headed downhill. I also knew I would eventually need to move to higher ground. Still, I watched long time customers come in before we closed the doors for good; so many told me they would come into the store to relax when they had a hard week. On two different occasions, they stood there and cried.
It was wonderful, but it was for a season.
When everything is in a state of upheaval, you can't carry a business on your shoulders; you have to save yourself. ππ
