Turning expectations to visions and visions into edible art is my my strongest inspiration in this world of cake artistry. These custom cakes were inspired by the personalities of the celebrants, and the act of transforming raw ingredients to edible art was indeed rewarding.

As we have begun this new week, may all your efforts be rewarded with great success, and may all your aspirations be made manifest and fulfilled by the power in the grace of the Lord Almighty. Amen.

I remember when all that mattered to me was my passion to bake and create art works with my caking skills.😁 As a self-taught cakist, I grew strong in my art by focusing on honing my skills. This right here is a picture of my first ever decorated cake that I made for my school guardian, Late Mrs. Grace Openiyi, in 2001. She was a remarkable woman who adopted and mothered many of us, with so much love from her large heart.

Through the many eras and evolution of the industry, there have been many times that I was tempted to give up on caking and cakistry. As a matter of fact, I left it and went into teaching Montessori for a period of 1 to 2 years. But my love for the craft could not be subdued. So, I took it up once again.

In life, the glitz and glamour of the success of any field of endeavour may entice you to pursue it, but it is the passion you have for it that will make you stay on that path, success or no success. With determination, your passion will eventually translate into the much desired success.

However, one important factor that shortens the translation of passion to success is SUPPORT. Many small businesses die along the way when the much needed support and guidance to navigate through difficulties is unavailable. Trust me when I say I have been there. It's this awareness that has inspired me to translate the wealth of my experience and knowledge base into a support service for bakers - the Bakery Business and Process Consultancy.

Winston Churchill once said, "Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." In other words, we must learn to continue striving towards the ultimate goals we have set and encourage ourselves to take advantage of any opportunity that will help us in our pursuit.

Happy Democracy day to you all. Please like and tag a friend to this post, and leave a comment below to share your thoughts on humble beginnings.

DARE TO DREAM
A futuristic me in my ultramodern bakery, sorry, cakery! Today is another Monday, a day that signals newness, a new chance, a new moment in time and I have seized it with the greatest zeal ever. I have initiated a newness to my path as a baker and cake artist (Cakist), a path that has typically had its fair share of wins and falls, excitement and anxieties, highs and lows and you all have been with me at one point or the other on my journey. For many of you, I dare say it is this journey that made us cross paths. And I thank you for being a part of my journey.

Today, I continue my journey with this newness in my path, my evolutionary process encapsulating my past experiences and my future aspirations, and resulting in the metamorphosis into what you my fans have always sought out in me - the very best that I can be.

I hereby present to you a new chapter of me as a Bakery Business and Process consultant. Over the years I have not only grown experientially, I have also expanded my horizon by researching and learning from industry experts. I have learned not only from their successes, I have learned from their failures, too.

As such, I have been able to put together a body of knowledge of tried, tested and successful approaches to help any player in the Food and Beverage industry, who is looking to improve their internal processes with a view to increase their bottom line, eliminate waste and fraud within their system and at the same time ensure that their staff bring in profit into the business. If this is you by any chance, leave a comment in the post, and tag anyone that you know might find this useful. I look forward to your support and encouragement as always.

Creatively yours.

Hello Shelzy fam! It's been quite a while, I know. I realized that I have not done enough justice in sharing memories that I have been privileged to create for the fans and lovers of the Shelzy brand.

It's Monday again, the beginning of a new working week. I celebrate the glory and grace of God in our lives, and I trust Him to perfect all the good works He started in every area of our lives. Amen.

Celebrating the goodness of the Lord in the lives of my first baby, now "Uncle Tosin" to my children, and his bae⅖. He (the Lord Almighty) that has started this good thing in your life will faithfully complete it to the glory of His Holy Name. Amen. Congratulations in advance.

AOCOSA REUNION CAKE

A rare privilege and a great honour to make a reunion for my Mum's secondary school reunion! It was an awesome time working on this project because I was driven by the look and feeling of pride that would be on my Mum's face and in her heart that it was her daughter that made the cake!

The best part of it all was the review and feedback from the attendees. As it turned out, my Mum couldn't make it to the Reunion party on the D-day, but the calls and messages she received from her classmates and commending her daughter for a great job done made her swell with so much pride and joy!

Thank you Momma for always having my back, and for being a great source of inspiration!
