  Worcester Food Taste Great Cakes – ???? Exciting News from us at the Shop! ???? ????As we get closer to April, we have some major updates to share! While we previously discussed our plans and decided it wasn't the right time to move forward, we’re thrilled to announce that we're now gearing up to celebrate our third year in business right here on Grafton Hill! ???? The renovations to our kitchen equipment and exhaust are still in the works, and we've been tirelessly investing all of our time, energy, and profits into building what we have today. We’ve explored numerous avenues for grants and funding, but we keep circling back to the starting point. Here's the scoop: Our estimated cost for the renovations is about $18,000, and we currently have roughly a third of that ready to go. To help cover the remaining costs, we’re excited to host a series of fundraising events over the next month! ???? Instead of asking for donations, we want to provide you with something in return. We’ll be organizing two fundraising events: one smaller gathering and another with a special dinner including entertainment as well as a few exciting raffles for cake party packages. With your support, we know we can reach our goal! We truly appreciate everyone who has been part of our sweet journey, and if you’d like to help out—whether it’s organizing, funding or simply offering support—please don’t hesitate to reach out! We love and appreciate you all so much. ❤️ Stay tuned for more updates on these events! https://www.facebook.com/495982065863212/posts/1195389462589132?utm_source=The016&utm_medium=social
