IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Evening everyone, I'm absolutely gutted to have to say this, but unfortunately I've had to make the decision to close Izzy's Kitchen. Sadly the cost of ingredients has significantly increased (in some cases doubled!) and the cost of baking has shot up thanks to the electricity price increase.

I'm beyond devastated as I was so excited to get back to it, and had amazing plans for Halloween and Christmas, plus expanding to a more permanent set up for the future. But it's just not the right time. Unfortunately running, and potentially expanding the business just isn't viable with the cost of living and expenses just now, especially with a little one to support.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your support throughout our venture. I've loved every minute of it (maybe not the first mega late night when our label printer broke and I had to handwrite everything 😅), and both Izzy and I loved meeting all our 2 and 4 legged customers at the box.

Lots of love and woofs from Christy and Izzy 🐾

Hi Everyone,

So I've been asked a few times what I'm planning on doing with Izzy's Kitchen going forward. It's been on my mind a lot lately, and I have to admit I'm not sure where to go from here with it.

On the one hand, I absolutely loved doing it. It was amazing to see so many happy dogs (and owners) enjoying something I made. And I really, really miss baking, and meeting all our customers.

But on the other hand, I'm unsure if I can continue running things how I did in the past. With the extreme increase in electricity and ingredient prices, as well as Finn taking up all of my spare time now (what even is spare time when you have a kid?!), it's hard to know if it's even going to be a viable option to restart things again.

If I was to dust off my apron and rolling pin, I think it would mean some changes to how I run, and how much I bake/when as I would have to work around being a Mum too.

I'm going to pop some questions in the comments below (and on my Instagram stories), and would really appreciate if you could take the time to answer them, as it would help me decide what's best going forward.

Thanks so much for your continued support, it means so much to us ❤

P.s. We would be super grateful of any shares, as our reach is way down after taking some time away from our social media pages.

Happy belated birthday to the brains behind this operation, our gorgeous Izzy!

She turned 5 on Sunday, and had a fun day of treats, toys, pupcakes and cuddles 🐾

Look how amazed Finn is by her cool trick! 😂

(Please excuse the rug, it's knackered but there's no point replacing it til after the potty training stage 😅)

Happy Tuesday! We hope you've all had a fantastic Easter weekend, filled with lots of walks and treats for the dogs, and hot cross buns, family and (most importantly) CHOCOLATE for the humans!

I've had a few folk asking about when my maternity leave will end. I've deliberately left it open-ended, as I don't want to rush back to hectic weekends of baking, and miss out on this precious time with our little boy. He's already growing so fast and I know the next year will go by just as quickly.

So, the box will remain closed for the time being. I'm hoping to open it again at some point, but I'm unsure when so will keep you all posted.

However, I am able to take on some special orders of birthday cakes or boxes from the beginning of May onwards. I'll have limited availability as I need to work around my husbands shifts so there's someone else here to see to Finn if he needs it, so I'd recommend getting in touch quickly if you'd like to book anything.

Also, I'd really appreciate if you could like/share/comment on this post if you see it. Since I've been on maternity leave my reach has gone waaaaay down, so hardly anyone sees my posts 💔

Thank you so so much for all your support as always 💕

Izzy 🐾 Christy 👩🏻 and Finn 👶🏻

One year yesterday since the first day Izzy's Kitchen was open!

We're still on maternity leave, but we celebrated with a fun walk at the beach with Izzy's new little pal Arlo 😍 Follow on Instagram to keep up with his adventures in Edinburgh, and admire his ever expanding wardrobe 😎

Izzy, Tom and I have someone very special to introduce to you all...

Our new best friend Finn joined us last week and we couldn't be more in love with him. Izzy has been the best big sister, always peering into his basket to check on him and lying next to him when he's being changed 🥰 We can't wait to see what adventures they get up to together in future 👶🏻🐾

Izzy and I may be waiting ever so impatiently for our new addition to arrive, but we couldn't let our fave little man's 1st birthday go by without some tasty Izzy's Kitchen treats and a wee party!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2021 had it's ups and downs that's for sure, but starting our little Izzy's Kitchen adventure has definitely been a highlight. It's been hectic, messy and a little stressful at times (trying to bake whilst in the early pregnancy exhaustion phase was NOT fun 😴), but I wouldn't change it. I'm sure 2022 will be full of even more mayhem if Izzy has her way, with her new bestie by her side! 👶🏻🐶

I've already got some new ideas for the future, and I can't wait to get back into the swing of it all in a few months time 🐾

37 boxes, ribbons and tags, 259 bags, 700+ biscuits, almost 600 chocolates, god knows how many popcorn kernels and one blister from tying so many ribbons in a row later...

All the Christmas boxes have been collected!! 😱

I'm so grateful to be able to help spoil all these pups on Christmas, and can't wait to see all the photos of them with their goodies 🥰

We want to wish all our amazing customers and followers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you so much for all your support throughout the year, I honestly can't explain how much it means to us. We hope Santa Claus (and Santa Paws) is good to you all, and we'll hopefully be back providing tasty treats at some point in 2022! Love from Izzy, Christy, Tom and Bump! 🐾

CHRISTMAS ORDERS

Everyone who booked a Christmas box with me should now have had a message about collection for their order on Christmas Eve. I shouldn't have missed anyone, but if you booked a box and haven't heard from me via Facebook or Instagram, please get in touch 😊🎄🐾

Shared this 4 years ago (Izzy's first Christmas) and it's still equally as accurate today. Who else can relate? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Christmas has officially hit number 25 🥳

We normally wait until the 1st or 2nd to decorate, but Tom's working so we popped to yesterday to buy our tree and decorated tonight! I'm definitely not complaining though 😏

As you can see, Iz and Lil were delighted to be forced to pose, YET AGAIN 😅

When do you put up your decorations? We'd love to see pics of your dogs posing by the tree 🎄

Borking Hard or Hardly Borking

Since many of us were back to work today after a long weekend off for Easter, we thought we'd share a video we made for a competition with our friends last year entitled "Borking Hard or Hardly Borking" 🎬 We hope it entertains you all as much as it did us! There were several outtakes, a lot of laughter from Tom and I and loads of treats eaten by Izzy during production.😂 Hope you all have a lovely Tuesday evening 🐾
