September saw my AuDHD in full force. It was one o September saw my AuDHD in full force. It was one of the best months my business has ever had, but potentially at the risk of my sanity. I took on too much. I wanted to do all the things. I didn't want to say no to anyone. So I took all the bookings that came my way, I did two weekend bake stalls at the school, I organised the school father's day stall, the school disco and the sports day Bbq where we cooked and sold over 20 kilos of sausages I of course made cookies and donated them to the bbq also! I did the weekly paper run with the kids, spending hours folding junk mail in preparation and getting up early Tuesday mornings, clocking 20,000 steps in a day each week. I continued to do 4-5 workouts a week including 5.30am classes if it was the only way to fit it in. I ran cupcakes decorating sessions. I took my kids to basketball, gymnastics, dance, speech therapy, psychology and OT appointments. I volunteered in classroom once a week reading and writing with the kids. All while running a business which aside from the cakes and bakes, means shopping, sourcing, emailing, planning and prepping. I made money, my kids earnt money and I raised thousands for the school. But I'm pooped. It was a buzz but it's not sustainable and I need to slow down. October will see no bake sales. No school events. And a reduced number of bookings each week so I can catch my breath and reset and do all the things and appointments that aren't negotiable. So with that, October is booked out. Thankyou for your ongoing support and the amazing support you showed for my bake sales this winter, I really enjoyed them and look forward to coming up with interesting and fun teacher gifts and Christmas goodies. And if you see me out there delivering junk mail, it's not because the cakes aren't selling, it's because I love the kids 😅

Blank canvases. It takes many hours to get to this Blank canvases. It takes many hours to get to this point. Quoting, emailing, planning, ordering, shopping, prepping, baking and buttercreaming. The next part is definitely the most rewarding seeing them all become their finished product !

Oh hi there! Time to reintroduce myself as it's be Oh hi there! Time to reintroduce myself as it's been a hot minute. I'm Amy, the face behind the cakes, the emails, the posts and well, all the things. I started Once Upon A Pie 12 years ago now, which just blows my mind. This business started as a side hustle at the markets in Melbourne and is now my full time job here in Hallett Cove since moving here 6 years ago. A little about me, I'm a 40 something neurospicy mum of two primary school aged autistic kiddos who challenge me and make me whole in equal parts. I worked in the travel industry in my pre- cake lady days and have travelled to 51 countries across all continents. If I'm not in the kitchen, you will likely find me either at the school volunteering (yep I'm THAT mum.... on the council, in the uniform shop, running all the fundraising events....) up at the Pilates studio on a reformer or a bike, or at chatime, because I'm addicted and am totally ok about it. The fact I can do what I love for a living whilst being available for my kids and doing the things that make me happy is a true honour, so thankyou for every order, every like and for being here x
