I want to take a moment to be completely transparent with my customers, future customers, and everyone who supports Daughtry’s Delights. 💗
Today, I messed up.
As a business owner, I know what I’m capable of, and I also know when I have not given something my full potential. Today was one of those days. I felt rushed, I allowed that feeling to affect my work, and I delivered a cake knowing in my heart that I could have done 100x better. For that, I sincerely apologize.
I want everyone who books with me to understand that I am human. I am not perfect, and I will make mistakes. There are cakes that look extremely difficult that I can execute beautifully, and then there are days when something that seems simple gives me the hardest time. That is not an excuse—it is simply me being honest about the reality of being a baker, an artist, and a growing business owner.
Sometimes I say, “Yes, I can do that cake,” because I genuinely KNOW that I have the ability to do it. But ability does not mean every single order will come out perfectly every single time. Things happen, bad days happen, and mistakes happen. What matters to me is how I handle those moments afterward.
Today, I feel like I failed a customer, and that does not sit well with me. I could have handled the situation differently instead of delivering something I personally knew did not represent the quality of work I am capable of.
I’m making this post publicly because I believe accountability is important. I never want to hide my mistakes and only show the beautiful moments of owning a business. When I do great work, I’m proud of myself—and when I fall short, I need to be able to acknowledge that too.
To my current customers, thank you for continuing to trust me. To my future customers, please know that I will always strive to give you my best. And if I fall short, I will take accountability and do what I can to make the situation right.
This experience has reminded me that I need to slow down, stop putting so much pressure on myself, and never hand over an order just because the clock says it’s time if I know in my heart that it isn’t my best work.
I’m still learning. I’m still growing. I’m still perfecting my craft. And one bad cake or one bad day will not stop me from becoming a better baker and a better business owner.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Daughtry’s Delights through the beautiful cakes, the challenging ones, the lessons, and the growth. 💗
I can do better, and I WILL do better.
