Iam a loyal customer of Chichi Cakes . Whenever I need cakes at home, I know where to go-Chichi Cakes is always my first point of contact. She is the administrator behind our hugely popular ZBIN Baking Groups. This evening we pose a couple of questions to her. The first one is how did u end up baking cakes?

Chichi Madanhi Thank you Mdala Wa Rue. I have always loved baking since I was a little girl. So I grew up baking but I could not ice and decorate cakes. A sister of mine Edinah Marange encouraged me to do a baking course at Thembies’ Baking School. At first I was reluctant and told her I could already bake and that I didnt want to do it for business. She then said well you can perfect your skills for your family. So I did the course part-time on Saturday mornings. Upon completion, I slowly began baking for business. At first my clients were family and friends. And then the business began to grow. Then I was working full time so I would bake after hours and weekends. When I lost my job last August, I had something to fall on. So I now bake full time. I also travel to Namibia once a year to teach some ladies there. This year will be my 3rd year.
