Norfolk cake shed faces closure threat after £100 loss

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 10:32 · Archive

A self-serve cake shed in Hellesdon, Norfolk, may have to close if losses continue, its owner says.

Jessica Bew runs Hellesdon Cake Shed from her home on Westwood Drive, a self-serve operation stocked every weekend with brownies, cookies, cakes, oaties and tarts. The business launched in April, inspired by a similar concept she discovered in Hopton.

The shed has lost £100 in recent weeks, prompting Ms Bew to urge customers to double-check that their payments are going through. She said: 'Unfortunately, the shed has been £100 down over the last few weeks, and it's really starting to get to me. For a tiny business, that's a huge loss, especially with the time, money and effort that goes into every bake.'

Ms Bew also works as an 'everything assistant', providing cleaning, pet services and admin services. She warned that if the losses continue, she will have to re-evaluate the future of the shed, describing this as 'the last thing I want to do'.
