Had so much fun making these Gore-Tex jackets for some of the events leading up to the grand opening of @arcteryxvancouver North American Pinnacle Store opening up in Kits!

So many teeny tiny details on these guys… I made 400 cookies and spent over 60 hours piping them (and that’s not even counting all the time making/baking/prepping the cookies and icing!)

Celebrating 3 YEARS with The Stubborn Baker today!

Celebrating 3 YEARS with The Stubborn Baker today!

It’s hard to believe that 3 years ago I moved into @commissaryconnect and officially launched my very own custom dessert business, BUT here we are!

I’d be lying if I said it’s been easy. Running your own business is pretty much a constant mix of “OH MY GOODNESS LOOK WHAT I DID” and “OH MY GOODNESS WHY DID I DO THIS???”… it’s been late nights and long hours, lots of self doubt and imposter syndrome, and trying to figure out how to make the numbers work, and where to find the energy to answer all of the emails.

BUT amidst all of the tough parts are the beautiful bits that keep pushing me forward. The unforgettable moments that I get to help people celebrate. I’ve had the opportunity to bake for weddings, birthdays, baby showers, celebrations of life, company launches, heartiversary’s, break-ups, bachelorette’s, and so much more, and every time I am reminded of how lucky I am to get to help you all celebrate your milestones.

I don’t do this job because it makes me a whole bunch of money (it really doesn’t 😂), I do it because there is nothing I want more than to spread a little bit of joy in this world, and right now, baking is the best way I know how.

So THANK-YOU to all of you that have allowed me to do this for the last 3 years! Thank-you to my customers for keeping me so busy. Thank-you to my friends and family that have supported me along the way and encouraged me through the tough moments, and thank-you to all of you that have been following along - I’m so grateful for this community of people that are invested in The Stubborn Baker’s journey ❤️

Here’s hoping the next year has even bigger and better things in store!
