YOU GREEDY LOT 🐷
I mean, really?! 😂
On Thursday evening I was decidedly twitchy because I was convinced I’d baked far too much. “I’ll probably be able to open on Monday as well,” were my words to Mr Cupboard as he wearily packaged up the millionth slice of cake I’d churned out during the usual slightly demented Thursday baking frenzy.
The fridge we have dedicated to storing cupboard bakes was literally groaning. Things were even balanced on the inside of the door in that useless cheese storage section every fridge has that always breaks and never actually seems to contain cheese. It was that full I’d put a sticker on the front of the fridge door as a reminder not to fling the door open too fast and create a cake avalanche.
A cakealanche, if you will.
We had more cake than the Mr Kipling factory. And he makes exceedingly large quantities of cake.
So I opened the Cupboard on Friday morning and you lot descended upon it like a swarm of cake-hungry locusts (I could probably have said something a little more complimentary about my customers there, but I’m too tired to come up with it). By Saturday evening I was actually panicking about whether I’d have enough left for Sunday.
So, this is a very long-winded way of saying thank you. Whether you come along and buy something, tell your friends about the Cupboard, share my posts, or simply leave the odd comment or like, it genuinely all matters to me. I see it, I appreciate it, and I’m incredibly grateful that you continue to rock up and eat all the things I make.
The Cupboard is now closed until Friday 25th September, as I’m off on a little adventure.
Poor Mr Cupboard is being left unsupervised yet again, so as always, if you’re driving past and spot smoke, flames or anything else that looks vaguely concerning, let me know 😂
I’m not telling you where I’m going just yet, but the packing list has been started, an itinerary locked in, camera batteries are charged, swimming gear has been checked and I’m packing a large selection of waterproofs. If you thought I was going somewhere hot, then clearly you don’t know me very well. 🤪
I’m hoping to share a little bit of the adventure with you while I’m away…unless I’m having far too much fun, in which case you’ll hear absolutely nothing.
Until then, enjoy working your way through the enormous cake hauls you appear to have acquired over the weekend.
Let me know if there’s anything you fancy on the menu when I reopen and I’ll keep it in mind.
