My Baking Journey

Are you a baker? Do you run your own cake business? Ever wonder if you're going about it the right way? Or perhaps you're thinking of taking the plunge and looking for an alternative to that career you're getting tired of? If so, this podcast is for you! We sit down with some of the brightest stars in the baking world. Chatting about how they got into baking, why they love it, and why some days it's the last thing they want to do. It's about what drives them, what makes them successful, and how they manage their day to be a star baker. It's not all rainbows and flowers though. As you'll hear, these bakers have worked hard and pushed through some trying times to create the magic they do in the kitchen. This isn't about baking tips, but more about finding ways to build your business, get customers, grow your social media, and look for inspiration. Our guests have pretty much been through it all at this point so come along for the ride and enjoy this podcast from your friends at OLBAA.Who is OLBAA? We make the best packaging for bakers around. From tall cake boxes to luxurious cupcake boxes, we strive to develop packaging for bakers designed by bakers. Learn more at www.olbaa.shop

E14 - Anjali (Cakes and Co) - Building your own baking journey from nothing, and in a far remote place too!

April 03, 2023 • OLBAA • Season 2 • Episode 6

Hey everyone! So you all know by now, we started this podcast to help build something of a support network for bakers. A place where you can listen, learn, relate, be inspired, and most importantly, not feel alone in your own baking journey.

So imagine, if you really are baking on your own, in a country where the style of baking you do is non-existent. Where the ingredients, accessories, and access to training all comes from overseas. Imagine, your favourite sprinkles, or palm spears coming from thousands of miles away!

Say hello to Anjali - or Cakes and Co as she goes by online. Anjali lives in Panama. Think Central America. Definitely not the middle of nowhere, but in the baking world, some days it can certainly feel that way.

Through all of this though Anjali has built a brand, a style, and a significant following on social media by her inspiring cakes, patterns, use of colours, and designs. She’s created something out of nothing and so we were really interested to speak with her.

Just a note, English is her third language so she spoke so well about her challenges even though it’s not her mother tongue. Right, let’s not keep you waiting and hear Anjali’s baking journey. Enjoy.
