Why did they get a 4 star rating? Wasn’t it a few years ago they got a low rating aswell. Not very on the ball are they?

Mad to read their latest post. 1.3m in turnover - but yet they say they’re skint pretty much

Would it be there isn’t much actual profit for them? Like yes the turnover looks ok, I have no idea how that compares to other similar businesses, so can’t say if it’s good. The cost of things like butter, sugar, chocolate, the amount they load things excessively must surely cost a fair amount even if bought in bulk/wholesale.

Yeah I think you’re right. They’re still making big money but their costs are going up and up too, I stopped selling cakes partly because of the rise in ingredients costs, especially dairy and chocolate. They’ve said themselves that they’re cutting back on chocolate based products and going for more old school cake etc because it really has increased massively. in the quantities they use the increase must have been huge. Like you say their things are overloaded too so that’s lots of extra costs. I mean I’m sure they’re not struggling financially but obviously not doing as well as they used to be. I quite enjoy them sharing stuff like this, I find it interesting.

But the ‘woe is me’ posts don’t align with their other posts. One minute it’s Woe is me working 5 days a week and working on a Saturday yet they seem to go out loads drinking and go on holiday several times a year so they can’t be doing too badly.

I don’t think they even know how they’re doing, they have a slow month, react and panic and post about it. Then catch a trend, have the BuSiESt 🫶🏼Saturday🫶🏼 everrrtrr since lockdown 2K20 then declare they’re fine and omg stocked in department stores don’t you know and then it’s a slow month and img guys don’t believe everything you seeee!!

They’re manic 🤣 or at least one of them is, the social media training doesn’t match the business size at all

this is sooo true. They went on the labubu mould trend and posted how busy they were. They’ve just bought a new factory /warehouse too??? Surely if you’ve taken pay cuts etc you’d just stop and think. You don’t need to expand just catch your breath for a year and then re-evaluate. They just want more, more, more all the time and aren’t happy with just being steady for a little while.

They go on multiple holidays a year, own their shop and rent upstairs out, both in range rovers and massive houses both husbands have good jobs too so they cant be doing that bad. Maybe they need to stop living beyond their means

They posted that one of their husbands gives business advise because his brings in stable income and is ever growing.

Comparatively, i'm sure the bakery does have up and downs - but their business and brand is successful.

I’ve made it - it’s nice but so sickly, you can only have a tiny slice at a time. When I brought it to a work thing everyone was obsessed and I’ve been asked to make it again this Xmas. I’d personally prefer a normal chocolate log.

I think that’s what I mean. It just looks like it would make you sick after eating it because it’s obviously soooooooooooooo sickly. Especially with all the cornflakes or whatever else they keep adding into it.

Definitely - It smells too sweet too, it’s very very very sickly. I’ve not tried the cornflake version but I have to give them their due, they didn’t have to share the updated recipe with all the people who bought the original. Although I guess the more people who make it, the viral it is and the more new people buy the recipe so maybe not just a kind gesture and more a great marketing ploy.

What's their purpose with keep telling people what they've earned from what and what they've sold?

I have noticed an increase in this from loads of social media pages. Everyone seem to be talking about earnings? I thought it was bad to talk about things like that

maybe it’s a trend? I bet it boosts engagement if nothing else as I’m sure people comment about it? I don’t mind as I’m nosy but there’s only so many times I can watch a post about how much they’ve made from the Yule log recipe 😴 (and I bought it!)
