Introduction

😊😊Hi everyone. welcome to my blog. I am just a girl from Trinidad with a love for Baking. My love affair started when I was a child. I would always be in the kitchen with my mother who had a knack for cooking. From an early age, she taught me different techniques in Trinidadian inspired dishes.

As a teenager, I attended Holy Name Convent Secondary school and my favourite subject was Food and Nutrition. Here I learnt the technical side of Food and graduated with a Distinction.

As expected, I went the traditional route. I started to work then I went onto my first degree. I secured a managerial job at a local distribution company. All in all, I should have been satisfied- I have a good marriage, a great career, I am well paid....but something was missing!

A few years ago, after a stressful day at the office, I decided to bake a few cupcakes as a form of stress relief and OMG!! I totally forgot that I loved baking. Seeing simple ingredients turn into works of art. Not to mention, they taste great as well.

So here I am now....  3years later and I am at the crossroads of whether I should leave a safe and secure job or follow my passion and open a bakery with a store front- *decisions, decisions*. I have a thriving Cake business -Little Miss Cupcake Bakery ( yes, visit and like my page on Facebook ) where I bake Cupcakes, Frosted or Fondant Cakes, Wedding Cakes and dessert from orders from home.

I am so happy that you are here to go through this journey with me. I will blog about recipes, funding, locations, marketing, suppliers and so much more! So stayed tuned :)
