​10 years ago, when I started this crazy pastry journey, I had grand dreams to open my own patisserie. I wanted to do it all! Make bread, make cakes, make every French pastry imaginable and sell them all out of my own cute little shop with white tiles, white marble and a cute little blue awning.

Over the past couple of years, I saw my goals for my business shift. My priorities changed, and my grand blue awning plans morphed into something entirely different. Of course I got in my own head. Would people see this as a failure? Is this taking a step back? What will people think about me? About Blue Box Bakery…

​Then I went to the most amazing workshop with one of my cake idols, Maggie Austin. Of course I learned how to make gorgeous lifelike sugar flowers, but the biggest take away from that week was to believe in myself. And that just because my business plans have changed, doesn’t mean that I’ve failed. It only means, I’ve restructured my business plan to fit me, not anyone else’s expectation of success. 

A couple of months ago, we were faced with a rent increase, and while I knew I could make it work, it would have also required me to spend more time away from James during these precious early years of his life. And that was something that I’m not ready to do. So with that said, I am happy and excited to announce, that Blue Box Bakery will be closing our cake studio in Downtown Bothell. We found an amazing space, that will work as our home base, not just for my business, but for my family as well. We will still be in Bothell, but we will be by appointment only, with our tasting space TBD at a later date. We have a few local spots in the works, and we can’t wait to share that information with everyone once it has been finalized!

In the meantime, we will be having a few flash sales while we are still in our studio space! We will be posting them on our Instagram and Facebook pages so stay tuned!  
 
Also, consider this the launch of our new blog!!! Let me know if there are any topics you want me to blog about!!!
