My Story
Baking has always been a part of my life. I baked my first cake as an elementary school student in Nigeria during my home economics class. It was a special project for our school’s Open Day, where parents visited and bought items made by students. Each of us baked a cake, and I remember marketing mine proudly to make sure it sold. That experience sparked a love for baking that has stayed with me ever since.
When I got home after that event, I started experimenting with different treats using a recipe book. I tried cakes, pastries, and even made ice cream from scratch once (though it turned out a bit too “yolky”!). Those early attempts weren’t always perfect, but they taught me the joy of creating something from scratch.
After moving to Canada and settling into a space where I could bake again, I rediscovered my passion. My chocolate cake became a favorite among friends and family—they always complimented how moist and rich it was. However, I quickly realized I didn’t enjoy decorating cakes. The process felt too stressful and time-consuming, and I knew if I ever turned baking into a side income, I’d focus on things that were simple, delicious, and didn’t require intricate decorations. Loaves, scones, pies, and treats like “cake in a jar” seemed like the perfect fit—baked and ready to go without the fuss.
Last year, I started experimenting with banana bread, and it quickly became my specialty. My journey with banana bread actually began for a personal reason—I had been diagnosed with blood sugar levels in the prediabetic range, and as someone with a sweet tooth, I wanted a treat that wouldn’t spike my sugar. Banana bread was the perfect solution. The natural sweetness of bananas meant I could use very little added sugar and still enjoy something delicious. Over time, I realized banana bread was not only a healthier option but also cost-effective, versatile, and easy to pair with different flavors.
After months of perfecting my recipe, my dad introduced me to his newest creation: zobo powder. He had transformed the popular Nigerian zobo drink into a convenient powdered form and sent some for me to try. Inspired by his innovation, I decided to take a leap of faith. I prepared the zobo drink using the powder, baked my banana bread, and shared both with friends and family to gather their feedback.
Now, I’m ready to take the next step—turning my passion for baking and my love for sharing Nigerian flavors into a side income. With a focus on simple, flavorful treats and a unique product like zobo powder, I’m excited to bring a little joy to people’s taste buds, one bite and sip at a time.
