About Me

My name is Ubey Undie. I'm 34 years old and a mother of 1. I live in Calabar, Nigeria and I love baking. I love food and I'm passionate about cooking! I love the fact that I can take a food item that looks quite plain and turn it into something delicious for people to enjoy. I am a self-taught chef who is super talented at creating delicious and irresistible baked goods that people enjoy and commend when they taste them. I hope that one day I can go on to get proper training on becoming a pastry chef from a reputable culinary school here in Nigeria so that, I can then officially refer to myself as a Pastry Chef!

The demand for baked goods keeps rising as they are affordable and delicious. This has provided a means for me to earn a living and so, I have decided to put my skill to good use by starting a business selling pastries on the University Campus here in Calabar.

My Business

I recently started my pastry business where I bake the most delicious Meat Pies, Doughnuts, Banana Bread, Cake Loaves, Sausage rolls, and Sharwama as well as produce other treats such as Parfait and Greek yogurt for sale.

I hope to get assistance with funds to enable me to purchase more raw materials such as flour, butter, sugar, oil, chocolate, meat, chicken, eggs, and milk in bulk and rent a stall. I also hope to get help to purchase equipment such as an industrial oven, modern baking pans, stainless steel trays, a freezer, a microwave, an industrial mixer, industrial blender, stainless steel worktables, and a deep fryer that'll allow me to scale up my production as I am not able to adequately meet the demand for my baked goods using my tiny oven and hand mixer and other improvised tools.

    I will use the money received to purchase a school bag and shoes for my son who is resuming school. This will allow me to focus on growing my business without having to take from my business funds. Thank you for your continued support.

    I am grateful for the help. The jerrycan of oil I got was helpful with my production process.

    I hope to buy a 5 litre jerrycan of vegetable oil. It'll help make production easier for me as well as enable me to have some reserve to work with. Thank you for helping me purchase it.

    I am grateful for the help I received as I was able to get a crate of egg and a quarter bag of flour which went a long way in making production easier for me. I was able to comfortably fulfill customers orders without the stress of carrying out many trips to the market.

    I hope to buy a crate of eggs and a quarter bag of flour as this will help prevent me from frequent visits to the market and also help me produce for some time before having to restock. Thank you for making this possible.
