Hello all... I just wanted to thank all of you my dear clients for all your loyalty through the years. When I started this business 7 years ago, I never imagined how far it would take me. I was living in Honolulu at the time, and as a favor to a good friend, I made my very first cake for her wedding; I never took a baking and/or decorating class in my entire life... simply wanted to challenge myself. Here I am 7 years later... having created hundreds of cakes, cupcakes, cookies and sweet treats with clients who have given me the honor of sharing my joy of baking to commemorate a special event in their lives.
However, as many of you know, my life has been turned upside-down in the last 10 months with the birth of our sweet baby boy, our miracle baby, , who was born with Trisomy-18, a rare genetic syndrome which has caused him to have numerous birth defects. We have been living in and out of the Children's Hospital of Orange County since his birth... and to say this journey has been the most amazing and challenging of my life, simply is not enough.
I have had to take a step back from a lot of things... most especially my beloved, cakes by narleen kristel as my time with my son is so valuable and not to mention the exhaustion my husband and I go through on a day to day basis as we are the sole caregivers of our precious boy.
With that being said... I have to close up shop for awhile... I will still keep this page going as maybe someday... I may go back to baking... but for now... the bakery is closed. I want to thank you my dear followers and especially my clients who have made my business such a joy. I treasure the looks of happiness on each of your faces each time you see your cake/cupcakes for the first time and the honor I hold so dear to my heart of celebrating with you, year after year. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all your love and support. Please keep my baby boy in your prayers... and God bless you all.
