- hey guys, this is a bittersweet one... the stress of the past few months has been so intense for me and my health that I decided for a number of reasons a couple weeks ago to close my micro bakery after 3.5 amazing years. I am still going to continue sharing here on YouTUbe and on my instagram so please stick around if you still fancy baking/ lifestyle/ cooking/ small business content! Lots of love, Lily x

I had a business 10 years ago & closed it after 3 years for the same reason. It was a hard lesson. I then found my true calling 2 years later. In 10 years time this will seem like a little blip on your radar. Congratulate yourself on your hard work & what you achieved then start looking to the future again. Best of luck to you
May I ask what you found your true calling to be?

That's great advice

You started your own business and learned a tonne. Youre already way ahead of most ppl. What a learning experience.
Such nonsense. People need to make a living, not “learn a tonne”.
Please let people be positive and supportive in their own way without you trashing their comments. If she opens another business, she's more likely to thrive because she "learned a tonne." Afterall, success without significant adversary first is very rare. Baking Baby is also a nice channel by the way. @@bakingbaby3563
@@bakingbaby3563 You cant succeed in business without learning from the previous failures. No one running a business will run it perfectly without any issues. Learn and adapt
@@bakingbaby3563 Nonsense? Doing and learning from mistakes is what leads to success.
@@bakingbaby3563 Not when you love what you are doing. So not flipping burgers and the rest of the nonsense.
Dear Lily, I was a silent viewer from your channel, this was a little bit sad, but you gotta take care of yourself first before anything else.
thank you so much 💕

For your eczema please look into the Carnivore diet. This is healing many with eczema. Carnivore channels: Dr ken berry (see his vids Carnviore diet for beginners, keto flu, electrolytes etc), Kelly hogan, homestead how, shawn baker md podcast, dr chaffee and many more. Many of these have tons of interviews from people tht have healed eczema and many other health condtions. Wishing you all the best with your healing journey & your new business adventures. take care@@LilysLoaf

@@LilysLoafyes, take care of yourself and onces your back up from running, take every lesson you get and be better than ever. Pray for strength to God to continue to move forward and give you the strength you need! Hope that helps you
I don't know you but as a dad I would give you a hug. I'm proud of you. You did more than most people on the planet.
Awe, what a nice comment!!
So true.
proud of failure?
@@juanshaftpatel7488 There is no success without numerous failures.
@@juanshaftpatel7488 When you don't come of your couch and do nothing, you really failed.
Not when you try to make it work and in the end can't keep it up.
Hi Lilly such sad news, I’m 58 and recently semi retired, I have recently built a solar powered micro bakery in my back yard. The information you have shared via videos etc have proved invaluable, so thank you.
stay safe stay well, and whatever you decide to do in the future, success awaits, I’m sure. Good luck Andy
Your best asset is your âge. You are Young and the new possibilities are there. I got cancer in 2014 and had to close my book store, my baby, in2018. I am 74 now and still have dreams. But it is very hard….. Best luck to you and you still have projets. Love you. ❤❤❤❤❤
The micro bakery was just a stepping stone to greater things. Follow your gut, and have tremendous gratitude for the experience. Life is for experiencing different things. Follow your excitements.
As a successful small business owner who has failed numerous times, I'd just like to say that your work ethic, courage, creativity, personal growth, and honesty do not close when your business does. Take what you've learned a build something even better. Imagine if you had started your bakery with the knowledge you have gained from starting your bakery. You get a clean slate, and now, you have a leg up. The only thing between you and your dreams is fresh air.
I had a small business with 3 employees. It slowly became a nightmare and I dreaded every day. I knew the stress was taking a toll on my health. Yet I was terrified of it ending. A few things happened that made it impossible to continue. After I closed down everything a few weeks past and I then realized how terrible it all was. Take what you've learned and your next project will be much better without the stress.
Why was it so stressful?
@@nyaruko-do2ok Employees are the best or worst part of a small business. Next, selling expensive products online attracts all types of scammers. I lost $11K in one scam sale.
@@nyaruko-do2ok Because of the feeling that people depend on you, which is why psychopaths do so well as CEOs, because their brains are capable of not caring at all about others AKA emotional disassociation. Bob Iger slept like a baby during the 2023 Writer's Strike.
nope. next project can be another nightmare. who are you to give false hope. r u going to be responsible for it?
I have a wholesale background, generally selling to businesses. The number of times you see the arc that is, new business, new suppliers, new sales outlets... need more employees. And the business dies because employees are RNG. You can get great ones, you can get career-ending ones. Businesses need employee insurance. There are terrible bosses, but there are way more terrible employees.
Burnout is terribly real. I've been off work (teaching) since Nov 2023 & am just starting feel glimmers of normality. 'Take care' is phrase people throw around but it's genuinely the most important thing you can do in life.
Hope you feel better soon.
I'm so sad I won't ever try your baked goods, but I think it's good for you to know what is best for yourself. You did so very well and you have my full support. Health and wellness is more important than just about anything. Don't stop baking, though. But bake for yourself. Know your limits. Know yourself. God bless and I will continue to follow you as long as you're on RUclips. Now I know why I couldn't find your stall when I looked up the farmers markets in London. I'm still looking forward to seeing London this year.
Bread is such a luxury and an art. So much hard graft to make it happen full respect!
Miss Lilly, I'm so sad to hear this, but I truly understand. Stress, anxiety, and depression prompted me to leave my career back almost 30 yrs ago and to pivot in a similar manner to a much simpler lifestyle. Success is measured in happiness and fulfillment, not necessarily financial gain. I'm confident you will continue to blossom and grow. You can bet I'll still look forward to watching whatever your life brings you on RUclips. A thought, you might consider step by step baking videos aimed at us beginner Bakers just learning the basics. I've pretty much conquered sourdough and have moved on to gooey maple pecan cinnamon buns that are simply to die for. It's such a shame I'm diabetic and must greatly restrict how much of such treats I eat. You have such a mild, pleasurable manner about you, I'm sure you will do well as a content creator. Take care, my friend. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Look up Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer.😇
Fasting might help reverse your diabetes , lost of testimonies from people that cured their diabetes with fasting and now there are MD advocating fasting for diabetics like dr. Fung
Do you have the recipe for the buns? They sound yummy
Google Sally's Maple Pecan Sticky Buns. 😋
Hi Lily, I just wanted to say that I completely understand how you are feeling at the moment. I made the decision 3 months ago to close my microbakery business in favour of working a full-time job. It was a really hard decision to make and I still feel sad about it. Although the business was flourishing and in a period of massive growth, I decided that the stress, cost and uncertainty of owning my food business was just not for me. I'd been offered a job that paid well but would require more responsibility than previous roles and I just couldn't turn it down when I considered how much more free time, sleep and just general happiness I would likely have, even though I did love baking. It's really hard to make these decisions especially if you really love your customers, as a part of you feels like you're letting them down, but the reality is that they will completely understand your reasons and support you 100%. And, although it does hurt to admit it, our customers will find another bread supplier. Like you, I have decided to continue sharing content to my customers as a hobby rather than business venture, and I wish you well in continuing your content creation journey. All the best - Megan x
This is just one bump in the road. You're clearly a very talented baker. You will definitely find something new :))
Being unable to be a baker due to health problems it causes is not a “bump”, it’s the end of the tunnel. She’ll need to carve a new career from scratch
Dear lily, I've been watching you from the beginning & please know you've done an amazing job. You definitely have to follow your heart & be faithful & true to yourself. At 56 I decided 3 weeks ago to finish in the cleaning business after nearly 38 years, I still love it & I met some wonderful people but physically its to much & I'm also struggling with burnout. I wish you lots of luck in your new ventures & I am staying subscribed & looking forward to following you. Take care 😊
I'm Italian and I've been following you on social media for years, I didn't think you could get to all this, I'm a pastry chef and I understand very well the stress issue we feel, it's really something we don't realize and only our body shows the situation we're in. moved on, seeing you cry destroyed me, I hope with all my heart a speedy recovery and to continue with some recipes from your small bakery with esteem Gianfranco
I feel her….as an asst pastry chef, for over 15 yrs in the industry it’s a grind. With capable people or on your own running it, hard industry. Hello from the states!!❤
It's very impressive what you've created. With having a side hustle bakery myself for less than a year, watching your channel is inspiring. The endless hours put in ultimately took the joy out of baking and lead to burn out. At the end of day, your health and happiness is priority. Always know you'll have the skills and discipline to create and go after anything you want. Cheers to a new chapter!
I’ve owned several businesses over the years. I can tell you that it’s very overly complicated to just run a business in the modern world. Switched to a regular job that I love and doesn’t own my whole life. Life is much healthier now. Good luck on your next ventures.
Hi from Canada! I have discovered your channel two months ago, as I was also planning on opening my bakery one day. I can feel your saddeness and relief at the same time. But what really impacted me is you showing us that it is ok to back up. Especially, after being invested for 3.5 years, a lot of people would push themselves just not to "give up", but you decided to do what you think is right. Your story is really inspiring and I am sure that I will still use all the advice you gave in your last videos.
Sad that your bakery had to close, but happy that you're taking care of you self more now. Excited for your new adventures, Lily! ❤❤
From a fellow baker following your channel a while now, ive got great admiration and inspiration from your channel. Youve put your heart and soul into it, i know how tolling it can be on your body and mentally with lack of sleep. Youve been great. Onwards and upwards, youre a lovely person.❤
I'm so sorry Lily, I've enjoyed your videos and found a lot of inspiration with you. I hope you do whatever is best for you and that you feel better in the coming days and weeks. Much love
So sorry to hear about the news. With all the experience gained through your micro-bakery endeavor and content creation, you will only become stronger as a person in all your future endeavors. Much luck to you in the future and I look forward to seeing what lays ahead. ❤❤❤
I'm from Australia and obviously couldn't eat your bakes, just loved watching your videos for a few years now. I just love how sincerely you document your life. I hope to see more of that :) Glad you could redirect your life for the better.
thank you so much 💕
@@LilysLoaf For healing eczema please look up channel: Delighted to Meat You
she had horrible eczema and healed her body with the carnivore diet. other carnivore diet channels: Dr ken berry, shawn baker md podcast, kelly hogan, steak and butter gal, nutrtion with judy and many more.
carnivore diet is a "elimination diet" that heals the gut which is your immune system.
take care.
Hi Lily! You're doing amazingly love. You must put your health and well being first. That is by far the most important thing we all have.
Lily, wishing you all the best. It has been an enjoyable journey watching you from the beginning and I have not doubt more amazing adventures await you! Be well and keep posting!
So touching. Thank you for letting us in to every part of your journey as a cottage baker and human. Life isn’t about moving forward in a single direction. There will always be change and growth and that is the most honest thing you could ever share. Best ❤
Congrats on your pivot! You made the right decision. Everything is a learning experience that you use in future chapters of your life. Enjoy the journey Lilly!
So sorry that things became too much for you. It was lovely to see someone so enthusiastic and talented sharing their dream. Best of luck with how the future pans out. Looking forward to hearing all about it.
It's a hard job, and sadly, it's one that is disappearing and being taken over by mass-production factories. The amount of frozen half-baked bread I see in stores (they bake it for 20 minutes in-store to finish it) is worrying.
The difference between fresh and mass-produced is night and day. Yours looked fantastic.
I have nothing but admiration for what you achieved! I can only imagine you are left with some amazing memories and also lots of invaluable business and life lessons! take care and best of luck for the next chapter!
Lily,
Fellow food creator here - just started two months ago. Your videos have always been a source of inspiration and comfort for me - thank you. So much. Wishing you all the best in the next chapter ❤
thank you so much, all the very best to you!
The best of luck to you Lily! I know how stressful this life is. Your still and will continue to shine!!!
Lily ❤
I was so sad to see the title of this vlog
but loved how you ended it and I’m excited to see what’s next 🎉
Thank you 🙏🏼 I’ve loved watching your journey all the way from Australia
You're such an inspiration
Health and Happiness to you☀️💫🌻
Im so happy you had such a lovely send off! I can't wait to see you move and see where your journey takes you, super excited!
Bless you! I have truly enjoyed watching your passion unfold in your micro bakery and you've actually inspired me to bake more. Thank you so much. May your next chapter be just as enriching minus the stress. Cheers! 🙏❤
thank you so much 💕
Hi Lily, sending lots of hugs and support to you from the US. I've been following your journey from the beginning here on RUclips and I'm so excited to see what comes next. I really admire your courage in pivoting your business and recognizing that it wasn't working for you. This video was really inspiring to me. Take care of yourself, lots of love!
thank you so much Amy 💕
Many wonderful doors will open for you Lily! I have enjoyed watching your channel and you have so much talent. Glad you are taking care of yourself. Best wishes on you new exciting adventures.
thank you so much 💕
First I want say, I only found you a few days ago and I love your content. I am binge watching it while crocheting and relaxing. You have an amazing inspiring channel.
The second thing I want to say, I will definitely keep following you because through the screen I can see you are such a sweet and kind woman and will do amazing things in the future. It's good the choose what is right for you and live is always a learning process. Your video's from the past and now on can inspire loads of people around the world. You make me excited to start making sourdough and baking goods. I hope you will share some of your recipes so I can make them at home. Kind regards from the Netherlands.
I love to bake as well but as I'm 52 it's hard to stand for hours and hours in a very hot space, I understand you perfectly. Your health must be priority. You can swicth to another job related to bakery and let the hard work to others. Be carefull and good luck!
hearing you describe feeling free again made me smile so SO big for you lily! you deserve nothing more and i'm so excited / proud / in awe / inspired by you and everything you've achieved in these last 3 1/2 years
thank you Phoebe, so kind!! yep skin problems are the worst, so painful and really affect every aspect of your life. Lots of love back to you xx
Good luck with everything! Wish you all the best with whatever you decide to do next! After some rest ❤
All the very best to you Lily! Your breads and cinnamon rolls look amazing! I am suer you will flourish in your upcoming projects! Heart and intuition never lead you astray✨❣
All the best Lily and thank you for your video and experience🙏
Hi Lily I sold my business 15 months ago and I felt a huge relief leave my body the moment I handed the keys to the new owner so good on you for doing what is right for you, I have been getting my business head back on this last few months looking for a new venture but if I do or do not open another business I have loved the last 15months without the pressure, I wish you all the joy in the world and enjoy watching your vids. Thankyou
Hi Lilly, from South Africa, very sorry to hear about your micro bakery. I made the same decision 1 year ago and faced similar challenges. Im back to working full time again but do believe that this craft will re-invent us at a later time in the future. Stay positive and keep moving forward. Well done on an amazing baking journey ❤
I'm so sorry to hear this, i loved watching your baking videos so much !! I wish all the best for your future adventures
Lily I’m so happy you! I hope everything goes great with you move and your new business.
As an absolute novice baker who got the bug to start baking breads about 15 months ago, i started watching videos on yt for tips and ideas. This video came up as a suggestion to watch just as i was ready to return home from New Zealand at the weekend. I saved to watch for when i got home, and have just watched it. It really saddened me to see how emotional you got about having to close your micro bakery down. you have obviously invested so much of yourself into the business, and all the stresses & strains that come with it have taken there toll. The lovely thing is you come across as a very driven & determined person, and i’m sure that whatever direction you take next will be successful. Recharge you batteries, health & happiness matter most. will now subscribe in the hope of seeing some home bakes that i can hopefully replicate 😊 and best wishes on wherever your journey takes you
Ahh Lily, I just want to give you the biggest hug, you have put your all into your business, it is not surprising you are emotional. Your health and wellbeing should always be your number one priority. Take time to recover from burn out, you will feel like a new person. Take care x
From a fellow girl named Lily to another, im wishing you nothing but the best❣️❣️❣️ Youve inspired me a lot in terms of how i would like to open my own micro bakery someday soon. Take care of yourself, and I will continue to watch when you're ready to come back 🫂✨️
I am so glad that we met on RUclips thank you and take care of yourself, love, hugs, best wishes and prayers.❤
Dear Lily, you are so fun to watch with your massive talent in everything you do , congratulations for taking the next step of your prosperous life ahead, looking forward to all your new content, gods blessings with you ❤️
Lily, though I’ve never commented before, you’ve been such a big inspiration to me in my microbakery journey. I’m happy to see you prioritizing your physical and mental health, and I can’t wait to see what you do next! Best of luck!
I saw this in passing and listened a little, then I just had to click and comment. Lily I had to do the same thing in 2022 and shut down due to other conflicts, and I cried so hard when I came to the realization that it had to be done. SO I closed with the belief that I would restart when I was ready and it didn't happen at all last year, 2023, but now I am there and am going all- in with everything I've got.. and everything I've learned. All of my things are in storage, so I just needed the new place and I have it now.. so the countdown to reopen will begin soon.
That said. I just wanted to give you encouragement to go ahead with your closing because your health does come first! My hand would itch with certain ingredients and cramp up when stirring, but these are things I am overcoming. But health is of the utmost importance. You may be able to determine that one day reopening may be in the works once you get to a certain point, especially if you are able to hold onto your equipment!
Also, it's a blessing that you were open as long as you were! Look at the experience you have and the knowledge you have gained on growing your brand. Many don't have that and you will be great at influencing others in your new area of expertise and I hope that we can chat and motivate each other even though I am "across the pond" in the US! I will look for your social media and will let you know it's me
I'm so glad I saw this as I love showing support and getting some in return. Lots of love
I have seen your videos since you started and have always been so inspiring and confy. I feel conected to you and your journey. I Hope the best for you in this new stage, and I am jappy that you will continue making videos! ❤
Excited to see your pivot! Good on you for listening to your body and heart. Long time follower and fellow baker also on the pivot!
Wishing you all the best on where the next leg of journey takes you . Your health is your wealth .❤
Hi Lily. I was really sad to hear at first, but I believe that you followed your heart and whats best for you. It's actually not great that amount of stress and I support your décision, even tho we never met, because you got to take care of yourself first! I love and admire your Work so will definetely stick around to this new journey of Lilys Loaf 🧡. Lots of love and warm hugs. It must have been really hard, but it's great to see that you feel more free!
Well you must pay the bills- that’s #1. It’s hard to reconcile that fact with something you have a passion for. You will find your way. Live & learn! ❤
Congratulations on all of your accomplishments and what you've done with your life. I'm so so sorry that you have to close. I had just found your channel and have gotten so much enjoyment. I wish you success on whatever direction you go. Please take care and remember to breathe......
Greetings from the U.S. Whew! This video was an emotional one for sure, for you and for us. Life's a journey with all its twists and turns, mountains and valleys. The great thing is that we learn and grow and love as much as we can, that is the journey. Lily, you are an inspiration to us all. Can't wait to see how it unfolds, I'm sure it will be remarkable.
I'm so glad you feel liberated after making your decision!
thank you so much 💕
As someone who has run a bakery for 10 years (just out of it) I know how hard the business is. To attempt to do everything by yourself is massive. I honestly don't believe the vast majority of people could do it. Nobody would believe what an enormously physically demanding business it is. You clearly have huge dedication, stamina and willpower to have made it for as long as you did. I'd say one of the smartest things you've done is to have the strength to realise that it was time to stop. Most people carry on until they are broken. I've seen that many times. You will have learned a lot which you can take to new ventures and you will look back and know for sure that you made the right decision. Good luck, good health and good days ahead. Well done :)
You are doing what you need to do for your health and happiness. Good for you! We will be along with you on your journey, wherever it takes you. And I will continue making myself Matcha lattes because of you!
Good luck with your new challenges and don't forget you did so well and you are massive inspiration for many pp.
I applaud you for even trying in the first place! I truly believe that as you make this pivot into content creating that your editing skills and photography will bring in clients in the food and hospitality niche. I look forward to the continued growth of this channel!
I get the feeling that with your mindset, talent, attitude and experience, you will land on your feet into a new venture with new rewards !
I just found your channel a couple days ago, and I'm loving all your videos! I'm so sorry to see the micro bakery go, but good for you for doing what you need to.
I'm trying to re-start my small business, and it came to a total halt when I had my child. I thought I wouldn't get back to being able to sell my jams and goodies, but the past few weeks have had some opportunities come, and hubby and I are gearing up for a busy market summer! You've been such an encouragement and so nice to watch your content. Thank you for your honesty, and for sharing your skills!
Thank you so much! All the very best to you for your small business 🥰
Thank you for everything you have taught and shared with us!
Im so sad for you you gave me so much inspiration but please your health is the only thing you can’t replace ❤️
I am proud of you. Feel hugged. You will find your way❤
so nice of you to be positive about the future all the best to you dear Lily :)
When one door closes another opens, as the saying goes, Good luck Lily wherever life takes you, you’ll always be successful in whatever you do. I'll be following your new adventure. Cheers
first video of yours i've watched. i worked as a chef for 10 years so i understand the burn out of continuous work and the effect on your body it takes. Well done on giving it a crack, there are more opportunities for you coming. keep working hard 💪
I've enjoyed watching your videos and my two year old boy has enjoyed them too - "want to see the baker lady!?" Well done for making such a tough decision rather than further working yourself into the ground. Good luck, and we will keep watching whatever else you put out, if that's what you end up doing.
God Bless you and your family ! I am very proud of you, you are a great person, great baker . Very inspiring to others who are young and want to grow their passion for starting a business . Love you !!!
Failure in business is actually a great personal learning experience. Many, many successful people failed on their first venture. Use your experience to launch your next venture. Good luck.
Congratulations from Brazil!!! Your dreams will come true soon! GOOD LUCK!!!
Lily it will be okay don’t stress yourself.
Admire your transparency through your journey. You got this 🎉 You have an authentic approach & it’s incredibly relatable. I personally have gone through burnout several times throughout my life, I found it to be the biggest blessing as it gave me the opportunity to take that well needed pause to reflect & reclalervrate. I decided to pivot 20yrs into my dedication to the hospitality industry into launching my own health & wellness platform. Best decision I’ve made this far. Excited to see the next chapters ahead for you ❤
I wish you all the best, Lily. This is the first time I've seen you. You seem like a lovely person, and you will succeed. God bless you!!
I know how difficult it is to make peace with that decision. Everything will be better for you. Hugs sweetheart 🤗
Im sorry you are having to close due to all the stress. I am a baker myself and also struggle with eczema. Such an unfortunate combination. You have inspired me in my own baking journey and I can't wait to see what you do next!
You are an inspiration! This experience will set you up for a brilliant future. Just think of all the things you have learned that will apply to your next adventure.
It's so brave to follow your dreams and then takes even more guts to prioritise your health ❤ Amazing things are coming, rooting for you :)
Living in Canada I am sad I never got to try your bakes.
I was rooting for your bakery and will continue to follow.
Best of luck, and wishing you a happy and healthy 2024!
thank you so much 💕
@@LilysLoaf So in other words bakery failed to make money but being a pretty female meant she can make money as an “influencer”
Thanks so much for sharing this very vulnerable video. It resonates so much with me and it has taken me so long to give myself grace from past experiences where things didn't go as planned. In 2020 just before the pandemic, I had launched a food business, went into a commercial space and all. Three weeks later, covid shut down the world and during the following 6 months I was under immense physical and mental stress that triggered health issues which led to a lyme disease diagnosis that was extremely expensive to treat and along with all of that, my 12 year relationship succumbed to all the stress we had both been going through. I started to realize I was completely overwhelmed by the business and I was not financially prepared and couldn't afford employees, but I knew I could no longer do it myself either. I pivoted my business and became a personal chef. Started a whole new life over again, all on my own but with my family by my side providing me the emotional support I needed. The thought of my first business failing used to give me crippling anxiety. I felt so much shame and fear of starting a business again. I felt like a complete failure. But with time, I realized that I learned so much from that experience and it has prepared me for my next venture. I often don't give myself credit for the bravery it took to even launch in the first place. It takes guts to start a business and it might not always go as planned but it will lead you where you are supposed to go no matter what. It's been almost 4 years now and I'm finally ready to take the leap again and I feel way more prepared than the first time around lol. I wish you the best on your new journey and I'm sure with your following and your talent, success will find you.
What a strong young lady you are….you have already succeeded in life…keep going sunshine 👏🎉🥰
Praying for your health being restored. You have lots of knowledge to share to help folks, recipes , business wisdom, May your future be blessed, thanks Lily for all your shared memories!
thank you so much💕
I can imagine how difficult this must have been for you. I'm really happy for you that you prioritized yourself
im so sorry you were burned out. we appreciate your videos and help so much, you have already had an amazing impact. take care of yourself ❤
Thank you so much, that's so lovely to hear 🥰
Dear Lily , you are such a wonderful young lady with dream to become a baker , as a mother who has a daughter also a baker and she actually owns a bakery in Astoria , NY, I can see the hard work and the stress comes with other things such as rent ….. other than baking , keep your Vlog and keep making RUclips about your experiences and advises, I will be your loyal viewer ,love and enjoy your break now !
Congrats on all your accomplishments. You achieved so much! Proud of you as a person. As a past asst.pastry chef, it’s a grind! Your skin, poor thing, stress n such. You’ll be fine, you have time now age with you and a great mind set. Well done, you ROCK!,💜🫰🏼
It's very sad but I wish you all the best. And thank you for giving us (and me) something to get distraction in the last few weird years.
Health & Wellbeing is so important so take the time you need Lily to recharge yourself fully then we can look forward to some more delicious baking ideas
The end of a journey is the start of a new one! This doesn’t mean you can’t ever start again! Good luck. :)
Health is always more important. I had comparable "failures" multiple times in the past. The most important thing I have learned from them so far is: Where one door closes, two new ones open. I wish you the very best.
Hi Lily you have been a great inspiration to me, I just started my own Bakery, had our first market day this weekend and we sold almost everything, I'm so glad that you're still going have your RUclips channel!! I wish you the best luck!!
That is amazing!! Keep going ☺️
