Homemade sweets to order, mixed in the shadows of the Southern Appalachian Mountains.
Dear Friends,                         January 27, 2010

Many of you already know that my mother has been battling stage IV non-smoker's lung cancer since October 2008.  Unfortunately, we are at the end of treatment options for her and she has declined rapidly since Christmas. 

While I take the time to care for her in her final days, I am closing the bake shop temporarily.  My mother has dedicated her entire adult life to her five children  and the least I can do for her is put my life on hold to be with her as much as possible.  Since my business is a one-woman show most of the time, I need to relieve myself of this duty to feel like I can commit myself to my mother fully.

I do not know when I will have the website up and running again but do not have plans to permanently close the doors. 

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Nancy East
Owner, Blue Ridge Bake Shop
