Lowri’s Bake Box

The funny thing about being self taught is that despite making cakes for 10+ years, I still feel like I’m winging it every day and always learning something new 🤷🏼‍♀️ 📷 @rawfocusnorthwest making me look like I know what I’m doing and like I didn’t have about 2 hours sleep last night

How we made my new home cake kitchen 😍 wish it was this fast, when in reality it took about 6 months 😂 • • • • • • #brownies #cupcakes #cake #trends #reels #baking #bakingbusiness #convertedhorsebox #treat #wrexham #wales #wrexhamcakes #smallbusiness #birthdaycakes #cakes #weddingcake #ideas #cookies #homebaker

A little bit of today between school drop offs and pick ups and swimming lessons 😅 we go again tomorrow 🙌🏼

A few cakes that have gone out recently (or not so recently in some cases 🙈) that I hadn’t got round to posting 🎂

Little top up in the fridge at @thehivewrecsam this morning ✨

“Yeah we did it” 🤣 all set up in the bake box in Bellevue Park 😍

Fridge looking cute 🥰

The Easter bunny knows where to get the good treats, much better than chocolate eggs he said 👀

A few of the cakes from the last couple of weeks 🎂

It was Arabella’s birthday today 🥰 and at the moment she’s princess mad! She specifically chose chocolate sponge with Biscoff, the rest was a surprise ✨

AND THE FRIDGE IS STOCKED 😁😮‍💨 Well, in all honesty I couldn’t post details about this until it happened because I had no idea if I’d actually get it all sorted in time, but we did it 😅 kind of, still waiting on my sign going up but the bakes are there at least! You’ll now find some of my bakes stocked in @thehivewrecsam in Eagles Meadow, along with lots of other local small businesses. Open 9:30-4:30 Wednesday- Saturday every week for you to get your sweet fix. Manifesting for a nice warm summer, so I prepared by getting a fridge, for those who store chocolate in the fridge (I’m not judging, but it’s definitely not the right way 👀) then these are ready to eat straight away, personally I think the bakes are best coming up to room temp or even popping in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to enjoy at their best 😋 Anyway, please do go along and visit 🫶🏻

Goodbye to Celebration Cakes So, after posting this in my story a couple of weeks ago, I’ve had lots of questions and realised I should probably do some explaining and bare with, it could be a long one ☺️ Firstly, yes it’s true, I’m not taking new orders on for celebration cakes, by new orders I mostly mean from those who have never ordered before. (I will still be taking on wedding cake orders) For those who’ve had multiple cakes in the past, where I might have made your children’s every birthday cake, I will have a soft spot for and will be taking on very minimal orders for people who have supported me over the years. These will be limited to just Friday or Saturday collections though. For a while I’ve wanted to move to focus on my smaller bakes, brownies, cookies, and small bits that you’ll find with us at local events. I wanted to branch out to wholesale too and the perfect opportunity came up that meant I could get the ball rolling with this change. I will also be having a little spot somewhere that you can pick up my bakes from every week in Wrexham, more about that soon! The start of this year I made the decision to work smarter not harder, and although on paper celebration cakes might seem quite a lot of money, when you take your time in to it, not just the baking side but admin, ordering, everything in between, the hours spent trying to perfect them, chasing late payments, it’s just not worth it 😩. For now as I’m changing things up, it’s been pretty hard setting new things up while still fitting in celebration cakes already booked in, and recently it’s been a lot of long hours which leads to me not being able to get back to messages for sometimes a fair few days and I promise you I’m trying my best, but in a few weeks it will all be worth it, and my work life with family life will just be improved no end 😮‍💨 For now, all celebration cakes already booked in are of course still going ahead as planned! if you’re looking for another baker for a new order, I can recommend @lakeside.bakes who is amazing 🩷. As lovely as it’s been over the years (all 12 of them 😧), it’s not a sad goodbye as such, just a different direction 🫶🏻
