Snow Bird Bakery

To my friends, family, and loyal customers,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for supporting me and my business over these last three years at Yokota. I am honored to have baked cakes for your birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. I’ve learned so much from running my own business and I am grateful for those of you who put up with my clumsy beginnings. I also want to apologize to those of you who have had to wait a long time for a response to your messages.

It took me several months to come to this decision, but I will not be taking custom cake orders anymore. It was a difficult decision to make. I love decorating cakes. I love being creative and making something from nothing. I love working with customers and their thoughtfulness that goes into the designs for their loved ones. And I especially love seeing excited faces when they see their finished cake for the first time.

Despite everything I love about making cakes, there have been many challenges. My kids have eaten dinner on a fold up princess table more times than I can count, while my cake-in-progress and tools take up our whole dining room table. Date nights with my husband became late-night cake marathons in order to meet deadlines. As much as I love making cakes, I love being there for my family more.

I will always appreciate your business and that you trusted me to create something special for your celebrations. Thank you, Yokota!

Sweet, little Heidi is one! ❤️
