You see this baking business ehh, you need to be very strong 😭😂.
For days now, sales have been very low, and I haven't been getting a lot of customers. So yesterday, somebody reached out to me that they needed a cake.
Honestly, I was so thankful 🥹 because even though my views have been low, somebody actually saw my page and wanted to patronize me.
I asked for the person's budget.
She said ₦5,000.
I said, “Okay, if ₦5,000 is your budget, I have a foil cake for ₦5,000 for you.”
Everybody was okay… or so I thought 😭😂.
After some minutes, she came back, and I explained that the ₦5,000 foil cake would have no icing and no writing. Just a simple foil cake.
She said no oo.The cake she wanted had to have icing and a write up.
I asked her again, “Okay, how much is your budget?”
My sister said ₦5,000 .
My people, ₦5,000 for a size 7, two-layer cake with icing and a write up?
OMO .
Even if the country is hard, please fear God small na 😭🤲🏽.
I sent her my price list and explained that my smallest decorated cake starts from ₦15,000.
She said she didn't have money.
And I understood. No problem at all.
But when I told her to send me the cake design she had in mind…
Omo .
Let's just say that the cake inspiration and the ₦5,000 budget were not in the same WhatsApp group 😂😂😂.
I know the country is hard, but please, let's not make things harder for ourselves . Cakes involve ingredients, gas, electricity, packaging, time, transportation, and skill. The cake no go bake itself .
Anyways, this is just Episode 1, because the encounters I have had as a baker deserve their own series 😂.
If you're coming across my page for the first time, please do well to like, follow, share, and patronize your small brand 🥹❤️.
Abeg make una no send me back to village 😭😂🤲🏽.
