In 2016 when I graduated from the the teacher training college school.As a certified teacher under the ministry of secondary education in my country .When I was posted to my place of duty. I started having passion open a business that can be manage by me .My idea of doing business because I never wanted a situation to only depend on my monthly salary but an extra income apart from jobsite.That can help me to save well.

My mind was already focused on a particular business .Which was been a baker, venture for almost 6months classes learning cakes and Pastries from from some two guru’s Carine tasty cakes and pastries and cake Boss .I did intensive classes With these two bakers .

After, created my page on instagram, Facebook and twitter . I started my business by buying my gascooker , cakes pans , A bag of flour , different types of flavor and cake and flour accessories . As I was not only concentrating cakes all types , I do chin chin , doughnuts, meatpie , fish roll.

I do home delivery based on commands,I have costumers around ,Some contacts me through my Facebook and Instagram page for orders and commands . I have been into this business effectively for almost 6years .I most say the because have been very lucrative and has help me to save for the past years . People book me for their Bithday cakes, weddings cakes ,doughnuts and meatpie is what I do on daily basis for customers who are in need.

I earlier mentioned when I was venturing into business I needed something I can manage as individual. Working at my own space without pressure and can easily yield more fruit financially .I studied my area and discovered there was high demand of cakes and pastries on daily basis.As people have diffferent occasions on daily basis which needs these things.This made meto have more passion to do cakes and pastries as my business.

The truth is that I have never love to invest on a partnership business .I prefer to open an individual business for myself . When it’s excelling I will be supper happy but if it faces some challenges I hold myself responsible.Obviously is easy to sort out the problem and adjust. Most partnership business end up in air without yielding fruits .This is always because of personal interest and not for the growth of the company.Therefore individual business will always be the best for me.

As for me I didnot face difficulties in raising money for my business .I used savings from
My monthly salary to do so .And from here I used my profits from the business to buy other needs or to expand my business .At times I used my profit to buy cake accessories ,flour ingredients for pastries ,flavors etc and sell .For now I don’t own a shop but I sell them through my Facebook, WhatsApp status and Instagram without any worry.I do home delivery when there is an order

Talking of my model which is focus of my business over view . I earlier mentioned I do individual business managed by myself .My costumers contacts me through my Facebook, Instergram and WhatsApp page and people around my area.I make sure I deliver the best and nothing but equality . The prices of cakes will ranges from 15000cfa Cameroon currency to 50000cfa .Depending on the size ,a normal simple cake for birthday cake the least I take is 15000cfa

As the size is big with steps the price differ depending on the decoration .A simple two steps wedding cake I can 100000cfa Cameroon currency to 150000Cfa because of the additional edible flowers that will be put on it.

Also, the prices of wedding cakes differs , there are some weddings i tax high because it needs alots of work to put in more energy. These cakes I call them huge project because it needs patients , time and transportation to the occassion of the venue is not always easy.

Lastely as for doughnuts, meatpie ,scotch eggs and chin chin the prices are always unique.Depending on the quantity a coustomer want but as from 1000cfa Cameroon you can have a small cealed packets. My means of payment it’s always usually through my mtn mombile money account .I do payment first before delivery.

Lately, For the past years a lot of people has ventured into the business .But what matters is the equality, My costumers who have tasted my hand still support.Eventhough, the business is not booming like before .My plan is to merge it by opening a cake accessories shop to keep the business line moving . Not forgetting I have trained so my students who are now managing and gaining income from cakes and income.

My business model is satisfying my costumers with final product to consume .Also I do whole sale supply for my business for those you want to buy sell in it in their stores and jobsites .There some people who will place commands to make them cups and doughnuts.Such people I reduced prices for them to also again .

At times it’s preferable to sell at a moderate prices on huge commands and have your little profit .Than you put prices of things at high prices and at the end of the day you don’t get any other. I always say Costumer satisfaction is my priority., costumer’s relationship, strategizing business to move smoothly, What I invest and what I gain at the end of year is very important.It makes to know the stage of my career.Wether is positive or negative . All these are my business model I consider for my business.

Right now I have in mind to expand my business of Flora,s flour chicken for a long term . I earlier mentioned my profit I have made for the past 6years ,I would love to expand my business. This can be done together by hiring a business expert to work me .But I love to expand my business in the following ways ;

• Opening cake accessories shops by using my profit to reinvest, as a baker I saw it as part of investment which is good combination to my business .These because all bakers will always needs ingredients and accessories to use .

• Increasing work force by recruiting at 1 Pearson to work with me .This depend on the profit I gain from the business.

• Opening cake and Pastries shop , where all types of cakes, people can past by and buy without no stress.

• Taking my business location into consideration, if the area will be suitable for the business.

I cannot achieved these prospects objectives without hiring a professional used business expect . At this juncture I have come to the end of my discussion I would invites @eliany @crismenia and @josepha to participate in this teaching contest.
