After ten incredible years, the time has come for me to close the chapter on my in-person cookie decorating classes.
When I first began teaching, I could never have imagined the journey that lay ahead. With every class sold out, I had the privilege of travelling around South Africa sharing my passion, and, most importantly, I met the most wonderful people along the way. Many of you became far more than students - you became friends.
To everyone who attended a class, supported my business, encouraged me, or trusted me to teach you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your enthusiasm and kindness made every early morning, every long drive, and every class worthwhile.
This has not been an easy decision. If I'm completely honest, I'm mentally and physically exhausted, and I've reached a point where I know it's time to step away. As much as I would love to continue, I need to listen to what my heart and body are telling me.
Although this chapter is ending, I will always look back on these ten years with immense gratitude and pride. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your creative journey and for making mine so incredibly special.
With heartfelt thanks,
Ashleigh
