Wait... What? Cake delivery after 4 years rocking in a rapidly developing IT company. How could it be? The answer is...
Because of LOVE.
In 2015 my wife and I faced a terrible challenge: we lost a child. It became a reason why I left my company. I wanted to join my wife in her passion: making beautiful pastries. Also, it became a reason why I decided to leave the country and realized that I want to move to the EU.
So here it is. For a year, I was a partner for my wife in her baking challenge and was helping to deliver her product to clients.
It sounds boring but it changed our life. Look what happened next.
After a year of making tons of cakes, and working in collaboration with big companies and agencies (f.ex. we made hundreds of kilos of cakes for Hewlett Packard), we decided to transform the creation of cakes into the creation of knowledge and provide hands-on courses for other people.
We organised three hands-on courses and realized that these courses should go online. That's fun but seven years ago making online courses wasn't as common thing as it is today.
So this is how my journey with cakes started.
The funniest thing is that while I was delivering cakes I made even more best friends than before. I met entrepreneurs and opened my eyes wider to the different and diversified world around me. Everyone eats cakes, you know (start-up founders, entrepreneurs, top managers).
It was another crazy year in my life when I tried to start to see myself as an entrepreneur. And we did it with my lovely wife (and partner), which was the best thing.
