As many of you know, I had to make the incredibly tough call to cancel the Coraline bento cake workshop at Flakes & Fables. Behind the scenes, I had already baked all the mini cakes, whipped up the icing, and prepared the complimentary treats for the attendees. But by the time I finished the prep work, my body hit an absolute wall. I was overcome with a crazy level of fatigue and dizziness that I simply couldn't push through.
The most frustrating part of living with a chronic illness is that sometimes, no matter how much I really want something, my body can decide to betray me (that's what it feels like anyway). I knew if I kept pushing myself, I'd only makes the crash worse, so I had to just make the decision to rest.
Instead of spending the evening having an amazing time decorating with you all, I had to issue full refunds and take a heavy loss on massive amounts of ingredients and labor. It is incredibly hard to accept, even after 12 years of this rollercoaster, and I feel like I let people down.
Anyway, thank you so much to everyone who registered for your grace, patience, and understanding. I am taking the time I need to rest and recover, and I appreciate the support from this community more than words can say.
