OPENING HOURS UPDATE 🚨

With the heatwave this week we are doing things a little differently to keep our team and you guys cool.

The Pavilion will open earlier and close earlier so you can drench yourself in iced lattes and then hunker down out of the peak heat.

Keep Cool,
Love Team Homemade 💗

Calling all Small Business owners in Notts…

Fancy shutting the laptop for the morning, getting some fresh air and stretching your legs in a green space with some like minded people? 🌳

Then please do join us for a Netwalks summer social.
It’s been a while since we all got together, work got hectic and I think now it’s time to regroup before the summer hols.

Netwalks are chance to connect, recharge, share ideas and have valuable conversations with like minded small business owners in a calm relaxed environment.
On previous events, Netwalkers have said they left feeling inspired and raring to go for their business, which is a beautiful thing. 🤩
Sign up via the link in bio to join in. ⬆️
We will walk around the park and after we head to the pavilion where there will be lots of tea, coffee and CAKE! 😍☕️🍰🍰🍰
We have been running this group for the last couple of years now and lots of new friend/work-ships have been formed. ✨

IT’S OUR BIRTHDAY 🥳

Homemade turned 21 today!

21 years since I first opened the purple door to our first shift service… wow—zer.

What a food filled rollercoaster, a life filled with baking, making lovely spaces, ups & downs and so many changes & challenges to this industry along the way, but we keep on trucking. 💪🏼🍰🍰

As always I look back thinking where did all the time go?! and how grateful I am for all of the lovely people that have walked through our doors, stuck with us for the moves to different sites, and to those that have embraced our most recent venture with Patsy the Van. 🚛

Nothing but love for my fabulously beautiful, talented & bonkers Team of Homemaders, past & present. 💜
You have all helped shape this cake shaped beast and make our working days a joy.

It is impossible to sum it all up in a short post on social media, but thank you for sticking with us for all these years for making my childhood dream of a cake shop come true. 💗

Of course, it wouldn’t be a birthday without a little photo trip down memory lane of team highlights…..
