Onwards and upwards thank you for sharing with us all.

I read your post as it was shared on a cake community Facebook page, and I just wanted to express some support and an echoing of the wish that we cake bakers could just support each other and not use social media to tear each other down. It can be lonely when you're doing this in your kitchen at home but we do it because we love it and take strength from the online networks out there who offer advice and encouragement. I hope this experience will just feel like a dim and distant memory for you very soon and that you just keep doing what you're doing, knowing that there are fellow bakers who hadn't heard of you before today, but who agree with everything you said and support your stance.

Best of luck to you and well done on getting your cakes into The well known store. I would be very pleased if the cakes from my little shop were sold there. Supporting each other in this industry is the only way we should respond, there are enough people outside the industry think we have an easy job and make millions, which of course we know is not true! Although having said that it is still the best job in the world.

It was a tool ( I has since decided that Facebook is a tool, but tools use facebook). <br />I joined some cake pages and very quickly discovered there was a fair degree of nastiness out there from other bakers. <br />So I left and blocked them. The ones I am a member of now are supportive and nice.<br /> I also make no excuses for my prices, despite the oft cried, 'But its only caaaaaake!' - no if it was 'only' cake you would have bought one from the supermarket!Bettinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09844366782109077767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065061151445878268.post-89299731019373601142018-03-26T02:40:34.245-07:002018-03-26T02:40:34.245-07:00Well said.

I saw so many posts/comments going around and felt instant disappointment in the words I was reading. I refused to engage/comment on anything as it was just so unfair. I will however share this post as I just think people can be so god dam thoughtless and rude. I mean come-on - YOU HAD ONE OF YOUR CAKES IN HARRODS!!!

I defended you from the day the post went out, saying to everyone that at the end of the day it's the store that sets the pricing and any negative comments will affect you as a business. And I know how hard we work to keep our businesses running! I will share this everywhere so hopefully everyone can see how harmful these comments can be, it's like we need to teach adults what we teach children - to think before they speak! I'm a huge admirer of your work, and I hope this gets your name out there further and has some positive repercussions for you! Good luck.
