It’s almost 3 weeks since I started
Wordy Cakes and it has been an interesting experience. Seeing happy faces
brought to life either by the quote they’ve found in their pair of Wordy Cakes
or just the taste of the new Vanilla Wordy Cakes is very priceless.
I have had the opportunity to
share in people’s birthdays and celebrations. I’ve helped people tell their
friends how much they mean to them by using a pair of Chocolate Wordy Cakes. I’ve
just made two deliveries today where the people who ordered bought more pairs
of Wordy Cakes to share with their workmates.
A lot of love is going around
lately. And I am thrilled to be in the middle of it all.
I am especially thankful to the
people who have invited me into their space so I could share in their stories.
Wordy Cakes is about sharing incredible stories of love and hope. And that is
what we are going to do for a very long time.
As more and more people have
joined social media, there has gotten to be a physical disconnect from their
friends and family. This has got to change. I want to be a part of that change
with Wordy Cakes.
That is why, when you ask me to
make for you a wedding cake, I might say no. I don’t say no because I don’t
know how to make wedding cakes or because I hate weddings. I say no because
right now, wedding cakes may not help Wordy Cakes to spread this love that we
want to spread.
While wedding cakes are at the
centre of a very beautiful event of love, they do not help tell a story. They do
not speak the way Wordy Cakes speak. Wedding cakes just make the wedding more
fun. And a year later, you may never remember how that wedding cake made you
feel.
And there are lots of people who
bake wedding cakes and will be very happy to do a better job than I’d ever do
for you. I can even refer you to some of my friends. My friend Khairoon, of
Sheba Confectionaries makes incredible cakes for weddings and birthdays. You should
check out her Facebook Page.
So what would I do instead of
baking for you a wedding cake? I would make for you 200 pairs of Wordy Cakes,
each with a special love message to your wedding guests. Now that would be an
interesting story to be a part of!
You see, Wordy Cakes is not a
bakery. Wordy Cakes is the newest way to say “I love you,” “You’re my best
friend,” or “Have a great, productive day at the office today.”
I’d most probably make more money
if I baked wedding cakes, given the fact that a lot of my friends are suddenly
getting married (I guess I’m at that stage in my life). But Wordy Cakes has
never been about the money and will never be.
I’ll most probably say no a few
more times before I get comfortable saying no. But I am learning the art of
saying no. And I believe that five years from now, I will be glad I said no to
the things that didn’t push the vision of Wordy Cakes in order to say yes to
the things that push us forward.
And five years from now, all of
you will be happy Wordy Cakes came into your lives.
