About Me

My name is Ann Migwi born and raised up in Muranga county in the central region of Kenya.

However, I navigated life safely into adulthood after having covered primary and secondary school education. I then left home to join Daystar University in the Nairobi City where I pursued my degree

I graduated and later secured a job in contract bases. Since then, I have been doing baking services having been trained in this area while still doing my degree course.

My Business

I am in baking business where I make cakes for all occasions like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries etc. I also do confectioneries such as queen cakes and supply them to retail outlets. I do this on a very small scale since I do not have adequate capital to expand and market my products effectively.

I also use makeshift oven which is not only slow but its finished product is now what it would really be if I was using a modern oven. There is a huge potential for the business since I live in a densely populated area where I am assured of demand all the time.

I am currently making about $300 from the business but half of it goes into covering my overheads. I am currently running the business from home so as to cut the expenses.

In enhancing my knowledge and improving my skills,I have doing this through YouTube which flexible and easily accessible. I have been able to impact the community by training them on how to use YouTube as a mechanisms to get skills,which is more cheaper as compared to attending class which one may incur huge amount of money.
