Baking and the Year 2021
A lot of times people think baking is just about mixing eggs, sugar, and flour viola!!! Your cake is ready.
According to Britannica, baking is the process of cooking by dry heat, especially in some kind of oven. It is probably the oldest cooking method. Bakery products include bread, cakes, cookies, pies amongst other amazing products.
I started baking in 2016, just some months after I graduated from the university, I was watching a food network program with my parents and my dad said "Lolly" when will you make this for us". Mind you I am not the best at cooking but I enjoy watching cooking and baking shows because it shows how much creativity and effort people put into making something so delicious. After what my dad said, it struck a chord in me and I was also tired of staying at home while I wait for the NYSC program. I decided to register for some classes and that's how my journey in the baking world began. I originally started to bake just for fun and also because I did not want to be spending so much money on birthday cakes for my family and friends
Fast forward to April 2021, I decided to make my cake business official "Halimah's Bakery." I opened an Instagram Page, designed Logos, flyers, and stickers for the business and that was the beginning of the craziness.
A lot of times, people see baking as just roses and ice cream and some people even say shebi "it's just baking" but it's the standing for hours, the creative thinking, the sleepless nights, the market runs, account balancing amongst other things but I don't really look at those things what my focus is making people happy with my baking. I love baking and I love when I get amazing feedbacks and referrals from my customers, it melts my heart and makes me so happy that people genuinely love my cakes and pastries.
I also watch videos online to improve and skills and learn new things because every day in the baking world, there are new designs and you do not want to be left out.
The year 2021, has been amazing for Halimah's Bakery and I am grateful for all my customers and potential customers and I will like to encourage every other small business owner like myself, there are days when you feel like giving up or some days when things are not going well and sales are not coming, remember to stay focused and positive and Everything will be Alright.
