Something Sweet Pâtisserie

This post is hard to write - BUT I am taking time away from Something Sweet Patisserie indefinitely. Something Sweet has always been my side hustle, as I do have a full time job. But over the years as more and more orders have come flying in (which I am so grateful for), I am finding that going to work full time and then coming home to bake full time is just draining me. I am wanting my life to slow down, and unfortunately having a full time job and a side hustle isn’t exact...ly helping me do that. It’s time to start a new chapter! Secondly, as some may know, I am vegan (or at least try to be as vegan as possible). When I started this business I was vegetarian and didn’t think twice about using dairy and eggs daily. But now as I lead a vegan lifestyle, my values aren’t lining up. My mind felt it okay to continue the business as it was - I wasn’t consuming the delicious goodies, I was just making them - so what’s the harm?! But as the days go by, I’m finding I can’t keep turning my eyes away from the lifestyle I lead and the business that I CHOOSE to run. I don’t want to continue supporting industries that I myself don’t support in my day to day life. It’s just weird to open my fridge and see eggs and dairy that I personally don’t consume, but use for my business. I do bake vegan cakes and cookies, and I personally find them delicious and satisfying. But I know that a lot of people aren’t there yet. And that’s okay. I am so incredibly grateful to every single person who has ever ordered from me, who has trusted me with HUGE life moments, achievements, or just a regular Tuesday - and my heart does hurt knowing that I am stepping away from being a part of all that (because that is the whole reason why I did it in the first place). Who knows! I may be back! I’ll continue to share photos of things I’ve made in the past, and the few things I’ll bake for myself. But, I’ll no longer be taking on custom orders. Bye for now! Stay happy, stay healthy, stay positive

A lovely cookie bouquet went out to a very deserving lady! Thanks @irenekarasloeper for your support and trust!

I love a simple natural cake. Florals especially have a soft spot for me, so these little hand piped daisies were so fun! Happy vaccine day to @realraccoonfriend

This lil’ birthday cake was a lemon cake with cream cheese buttercream for the oh so lovely @kyra_leroux!

Happy Belated Mother’s Day to every kind of mother out there. Sending you all so much love! This year’s Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea box was a hit! Scones, cucumber sandwiches, caprese croissants, chickpea salad, cupcakes, lemon tarts, brownies, sugar cookies, tea, jam and Devonshire cream!

Chocolate Crinkles anyone?! These crunchy, chewy and chocolatey treats are a must in every holiday box. And this year will be no exception!

Still on a baking break until the holidays, but it was my mom’s birthday earlier this month and I wanted to make her something special! Chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream flowers!
