π Sweet Treats by Jade is closing! π
As much as I enjoy creating sweet cones and other sweet treats, this year has been super quiet, and its just not worthwhile to continue doing it.
I commend anyone who makes money on sweets π€£ I definitely can't do it, but thankfully I never did it for the money - I always did this for the joy of it and it was my creative outlet alongside my day job.
For info - it costs:
πΉοΈ Β£1 per 150g sweets (mainly because I used Haribo & Kingsway quality sweets)
πΉοΈ plus packaging, ribbons & bows approx. 80p per cone,
πΉοΈStickers - about 50p each but sometimes more a time as I outsource them.
That makes the cost to produce a sweet cone around Β£2.30ish and I only ever sold them for Β£2.50 to start with! π€£π (Plus I filled sweet cones with more than 150g sweets - always 180g-200g!)
So I do genuinely, break even, or make a loss on every cone, and nobody wants to pay more than Β£3 for a sweet cone, which I totally understand.
I valued the enjoyment I got from it, much more than the cost incurred in creating them, and I dont regret doing that at all. Iβve loved creating each and every one! But I have decided that in 2026, It's time to find a new hobby π
Thank you to everyone who has followed my page, placed an order or left a review - I appreciate you all! π
From Sweet Treats HQ - Merry Christmas, and I wish you all the best 2026. π
