A little realisation 🤎
A little business realisation this morning…
Next month marks 6 years of Becca’s Bakes. 🥹
And over the last couple of days, I’ve been having a proper think about where I’m going with my business, especially now that I’m moving more into the wedding industry…
And I’ve realised something.
⸻
Where it all began 👩🍳
Back in lockdown in 2020, I remember sitting and sketching out my little logo, chatting to one of my best friends about my business plan and dreaming about what Becca’s Bakes could become.
I genuinely had no idea where that little idea would take me.
Fast forward almost 6 years… and somehow, that little dream became my actual job. 🥹🤎
⸻
The wedding journey 🤍✨
Over the last couple of years, I’ve been working really hard behind the scenes to perfect my skills, build my confidence and learn everything I possibly can about creating bespoke cakes.
I was even asked by an old school friend a few years ago to make her wedding cake.
I was SO honoured… but also absolutely terrified because I’d never made a wedding cake before! 😂 Since then, I’ve come such a long way.
⸻
And now…
I’ve had the privilege of creating wedding cakes, visiting some absolutely beautiful venues and getting a real taste of what it’s like to be part of someone’s wedding day.
And honestly…I LOVE IT. 🤎
It’s definitely the direction I want to continue growing in, alongside the bespoke cakes I already create.
⸻
The Instagram pressure 🙃
But I think something else has happened along the way…
I’ve found myself looking at other cake businesses and other wedding pages and thinking:
“Their page looks better.”
“Their branding is more aesthetic.”
“They have more followers.”
“Maybe I need to do things like that too.”
And I think sometimes Instagram makes us forget to look at how far we’ve actually come ourselves.
⸻
My little impulsive decision 😂
So… in true Becca fashion, I had a little impulsive idea and thought:
“I’ll just make a completely separate wedding cake page!” 😂🤦🏼♀️
And I did.
I even asked you all last night to go and follow it! 😂🤎
But after actually sleeping on it and thinking about it properly…
I’ve realised I don’t think I need it.
———
Back to my roots 🤎
I don’t need to start again.
I don’t need to build another audience from scratch.
I don’t need to separate Becca’s Bakes from the wedding cakes I create.
I just need to remember what I’ve already built.
This little page has been with me from the very beginning.
It has watched me learn, grow, make mistakes, improve, become more confident and turn a lockdown idea into a fully booked little business that I’m incredibly proud of.
⸻
So here’s what I’m doing…
So, I’ve decided to close the separate wedding page and keep everything right here at Becca’s Bakes. 🤎
I’ll still be giving the page a little zhuzh here and there — making it feel a little more like me, showing more of the wedding side of the business and giving it a few little tweaks…
But I’m not starting over.
I’m building on what I’ve already created.
And actually, that feels much more exciting. 🥹✨
⸻
The bit I really want them to know:
Six years ago, this was just a little idea I had during lockdown.
Today, I’m creating cakes for people’s weddings, birthdays and biggest celebrations, working week in, week out and visiting venues I once only dreamed of working in.
And sometimes I think we get so caught up looking at what everyone else is doing that we forget to stop and say…
“Bloody hell, look what I’ve done.” 🥹🤎
So that’s what I’m choosing to do today.
Look back. Be proud. And keep going.
Thank you for being here from the beginning — and thank you to every single person who has supported Becca’s Bakes over the last six years.
This little business means more to me than I could ever put into words. 🤎✨
⸻
A little ending:
And to anyone who followed my little wedding page last night…
I’m sorry for the very short-lived adventure. 😂🤎
Turns out I didn’t need a new page.
I just needed to fall back in love with the one I’ve already built.
Becca’s Bakes — six years and counting. 🥹🤎✨
