Baker Spotlight: Inayah

Tell us about yourself

I started baking a few years ago. Believe it or not, I was the type to burn everything but all of a sudden, something in my head clicked and I've been baking these little delicacies since!

I believe that food is a medium for us to share ourselves with others. Being able to express myself in my baking has become an important aspect of my life, as well as, seeing the joy in others when they experience something made with my own two hands. My family calls me Ini at home as a pet name and so I created "Ini Mini Cakes" as a hobby to share my sweet talent. I hope that my cupcake conveys the care and love that goes into each of my desserts.

"This is my story, now is my moment... I'll laugh, I'll sing and I'll BAKE!"
