Meanwhile in my weekend drug den……….

Got to leave the furries with the correct meds for when you’re on holiday. How they open the click lock bags is their business! 😂

So that’s a wrap.

That’s all, folks!

Goodbye, so long, farewell.
👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

The very last cake from Sisters’ Kitchen. A long time to wait but I hope I did it well.

You convert your garage in to a gym so what are you going to theme your coach’s cake?

Henry Lee has had many cakes and treats over the years but now he is a hard taskmaster fitness instructor he deserved another, special cake.

You make sure they are putting full effort in, little man 💪🐶

Once again - Thank you all, so much, for coming on the journey with me and Alison (Head Baker in the early days).

Stay safe, be you 1,2,3 or 4 legged, and if the world changes I might dust off the apron but for now - thank you and goodnight ❤️

Hello!

I hit 500+ cakes, recently, largely due to your repeat orders over the last few years.

Thank you so, so much for trusting me to make your dogs their cakes 🙏🏻

Costs have risen (not so slowly) for all of us in that time and 20%+ increases in raw materials, utility (a cake takes 4+ hours of electricity) prices and fuel hikes have made this a busy hobby rather than a profitable business.
I had (and probably still have) dreams of a shop and takeaway empire 😜.

Whilst having those dreams and hitting unthinkable targets, I’ve forced my family to eat every meal on their knees because the dining table is full of Tupperware with letters, icing bags etc, taken space in cupboards with moulds and ingredients, placed an industrial chiller in the kitchen, put up a centrefeed dispenser on the side of a kitchen unit (quite useful, actually 😃) and placed another American style fridge freezer in the hall.

Dry your eyes Lee, I hear you say 😉

As, I think, some of you also know I’ve had MS for 22 years (with all it’s annoying effects) and a hip disease from birth. Because I’m getting older and fatter (sad but true) my mobility is deteriorating. 4 falls in the past 2 weeks and a week in hospital have confirmed that.

The sum of all those parts has led me to draw an end to the Sisters’ adventure. I am absolutely gutted and quite tearful as I type this.

I’m a people person, I love dogs, I have dogs and this is not easy but I need to look at my family’s life and my own physical and mental health.

ALL EXISTING ORDERS WILL BE HONOURED

I only, really, know of one other cake maker for your pups (Pupcakes by Lilian) but, I believe there is a young lady who is doing great work but she’s in Ayr.

Nobody is dying here and I need to bear that in mind. It’s been a hell of a journey and learning curve (remember my background is in hotels, as a GM and FC).

Perhaps our paths will cross in the future. Please stay safe and hold your furbabies tight 🐶❤️

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏻

I have to take my hat off to the NHS staff - porters, nurses, catering staff, cleaners and all parts of the machine.

My care has been excellent but isn’t finishing just yet 😞. I (hopefully) will be discharged on Friday but am going to have to take it easy for a few weeks after that.

Normal service will resume as soon as possible 👍

11/04/2022

So, here it is. The results of hard work but what a satisfying week it was - 6 deliveries, 1 collection, regular cakes, grain free cakes, peanut butter bones, dairy free cakes, haggis bones, black pudding bones and a peanut butter cake just to finish it off. Phew!

Every single one of them loved by their recipients.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that has ordered this week, in the last 4 years and for the next few weeks and months. The order book looks very healthy 🙏🏻

All you need to do is message me through the page and your fur babies will love you even more when they receive a birthday surprise like one of these.

It’s Saturday night, it’s 11pm and I’m icing the seventh and last cake of the week.

2 deliveries tomorrow and then a week off 🎉.

Earlier tonight was family dinner out, trying to cover all bases of family and work life and then 6th cake of the week.
I feel, genuinely, lucky to be able to do what I do and I can only say “Thank you” to all the people who entrust me to deliver the best cake for their precious “children”.

Inching ever closer to that 500th cake

05/04/2022

It’s so nice to have customers who are now friends and who trust me to get it right for them with minimal briefing.
The relative calm of last week before the storm of this coming week.

All you need to do is message me through the page and something like these can be yours.

500 cakes, I’m coming for you!

17/03/2022

A few examples from last week.
Colours, shapes and bones - you just have to ask 😃

06/03/2022

Hello everyone!
Just a quick post to let you know that we are grabbing some family time in April so the oven, the chiller and fridge will be resting from Saturday April 9th until Tuesday 19th.

04/03/2022

If I’ve ever done an ‘8’, it’s been very few, so it was nice to do another cake for handsome Bubba. That will be his 4th birthday cake from Sisters’ Kitchen.

Just drop me a note on the page with any dietary requirements, your choice of shape, colour and edging bones and I’ll get it delivered to you 🐶🎂👍

27/02/2022

A nice trio of 6” cakes and a Pearl between two Milo’s 🥰

If your fur friend has a birthday or Gotcha Day coming up, let me help them celebrate with a tasty, APHA approved cake 🎂

Simply message the page and I’ll make it happen 👍

31/01/2022

Variation on a theme.

Usually, my wording and decoration are white but this friend, who has had various cakes in the past, asked for black wording. Why not? 🤷🏼‍♂️

* no spelling problem here - it was supposed to be bin day 😃

22/01/2022

A quieter week in the kitchen (except the paperwork 😂)

2 handsome boys with very different ages. You still get a cake, no matter what age, eh?

Kody’s mum wanted purple or blue so I mixed it up and the beagle boy got purple blue or blue purple 😂

Remember - 3 to 5 days’ notice gets your fur baby a beautiful cake like these. 480 cakes done suggests I’m doing it right.

Simply, message the page and I’ll sort your Animal and Pet Health Agency (APHA) approved cake and deliver it (Ts and Cs apply)

11/01/2022

Happy New Year 🎉

Am I still allowed to type that? 😂

2 happy, new fur friends this week.

It’s easy…….
Message the page, giving me 3-5 days’ notice (shorter notice SOMETIMES can work)

Read the information I send you

Answer the questions

Sit back and wait for your cake to be delivered.

I “said” it was easy 😉

Memories 🤔❤️🐶

Let me help you make some memories for your babies in 2022 🎂🐶

31/12/2021

As that final bell ring sounds in a little under 6 hours, to end the year, let us remember the fur babies who didn’t make it to their next birthdays 💔
Eat cake whenever you want, over the bridge 🌈

To those that will be faithful companions in 2022, make sure your servants reward you with love, always ❤️

I’ll see you in 2022 🙏🏻

The 2022 diary has arrived. Please feel free to fill it up with your orders for your babies.

As we all know, cost of living prices has increased, year on year - raw materials (liver (20%), buckwheat flour (30%), haggis and black pudding (10%)
Diesel 34%
Let’s not make ourselves sick, thinking about electricity.

These are eye-watering numbers and I know we’re all suffering. If I was to reflect the full impact of these increases, I would envisage a major reduction in orders and revenue and that would probably be the beginning of the end 😞.

However, I’m always looking to change and improve the Sisters’ Kitchen offering.

I am proposing the following:
Bone shaped, 8” round, 9” square, heart
£28 (with usual bone edging), delivered within 20 miles of Johnstone

Large numbers £38 (with usual bone edging), delivered within 20 miles

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 NEW 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

6” round or 6” square with bone edging (black pudding, haggis or peanut butter), name and age £20, delivered within 10 miles of Johnstone.

1kg of cubed liver cake (approximately 13 treat bags worth) £20 saving you £25.

14/12/2021

Good afternoon
I’ve not posted for a short while (house decorating 😞) but paint hasn’t been the only thing being mixed.

“Old” and new friends 🐶❤️

Don’t forget - simply message me through the page and your pup can get a cake like these, delivered to your door.

Come on - treat your best friend 🎂

A busy, colourful week of charity and repeat customers.

Thank you everyone, for your continued support 🙏🏻

Really proud and happy to help a friend raise money for Cancer Research.
She wanted to sell my liver cake at her dog event, to raise funds in memory of a family member.

There was no question of charging for the 2 cakes, given the cause and to maximise the money raised, which ended up at £170 👏🏻

17/09/2021

Walter is going north on his birthday so I dropped his cake off last night.

The beauty of these cakes 🎂 and treats is that you can freeze ❄️ them, so I think Walter will have half with him and half in the freezer for his return.

Lucky boy ❤️

08/09/2021

Always pleased to bake and decorate your pup’s cakes.

Very proud to be sponsoring

There’s nothing like going to bed at 2 am, having baked and cooled 2 cakes and 150 peanut butter bites and then getting up at 7.30 and icing 2 cakes (of the 3 going out today).

You can rest assured that these APHA approved cakes and treats are as fresh as humanly possible.

Frozen treats are baked and frozen within 24 hours of them being taken out of the chiller.

Just message the page to get your fur baby’s cake or treats or go along to The Natural Vet for your frozen treats 🐶👍
