The Food Industry in Nigeria has become innovative, it is more about the creativity infused with good taste. What inspires your creativity?

We are supposed to be innovative, getting along with the trends . My wedding cake was what really inspired me to become a baker as well as my creativity, not forgetting nature . In any field you find yourself you need to be able to learn, be creative and keep growing. I surf the net a lot and also allow my instincts to guide me, because God created and blessed every human with ideas . I can categorically say that God is my major source of inspiration and i love nature. Love for colors and fairy tales also helps my creative mind.

In the last few years ,baking industry faced a spike in the prices of ingredients, but to remain unshakable you need to study your recipe and learn the art of costing to guide you through your pricing process. With this you can tag a rate to every ingredients that goes into your recipe. In addition, sourcing materials in bulk helps in a case where you get a better rate from wholesalers rather than buying from retailers. This will help in making profit than loss.
