Baking has become one of the skills that many women and young girls love most to do as their hobby.
Among these women is Jan Lepping, a mother of three who comes from the Makira/Ulawa province.
“I started baking since I was very young, me and my sisters, we love to bake.”
Now, Jan owns and runs a business.
“I started off, baking for family and friends but as time goes on, I started getting requests and cake orders from the public who knew and liked my cakes.”
Jan then decided to turn her baking skills into a business.
“Every time I bake people’s orders, I love to see smiles on my customers’ faces especially the children when they see their favourite character on their cakes.”
“I love the challenge I face, especially in drawing cartoons on the cakes, I don’t see myself as an artistic person but I love the challenges my customers gave me, it helps me to better my skills in the art.”
Jan says that it is a great compliment when sometimes hearing from the children that they do not want to eat the cartoon art on their birthday cake because it looked so good!
“I love hearing that, seeing my customers happy, makes me happy!”
Jan’s goal is to improve more on her baking skills and to do more creativity in her work.
Well as a baker, Jan has also faced challenges with her cake business.
“Sometimes customers did not pick up cakes they ordered, which is not good for any cake business. Another common challenge is finishing cakes on time when there is a lot of orders to complete. Sometimes I stay up all night but manage to deliver it on time.”
“I would like to encourage women and girls out there, If you have a talent make use of it, don’t let anything stop you from doing what you love doing. There is always room to learn and improve your skills, so go for it.”
“Please do follow me and order when you need a cake” She urged.
