Her business idea: Quintbelles Celebration Cakes makes customized cakes for any occasion. We customize based on a theme, a specific design or a character. We use homemade style of baking which gives the cake the distinct flavour and personal touch to ensure that no detail is overlooked.
How she started: I learned how to bake along with my sisters when we were still in school. One summer, we were feeling adventurous and decided to try to bake a cake. That started a hobby that turned into a passion. When my sisters and I made my wedding cake, we decided to put up a business. Quintbelles was born. The name “Quintbelles” came from “5 sisters” to represent our common love for baking.
Her future plans: I want our business to grow at a gradual pace and eventually put up a store. To prepare for this eventuality, I want to continuously master my craft by refining my techniques in cake design.
Work-life balance: Prioritization is key. It’s really difficult to balance family and career. I used to be part of the corporate world while Quintbelles was in its infancy but decided to do my business full-time two years ago. Although I really love to bake cakes, family time is very important for me. That is why I do not accept a large number of orders.
My husband is also a great help in taking care of our son especially when I am busy with baking. My son is my greatest fan! He even markets our products to his classmates and their moms.
Memorable Cake: I baked a huge choo-choo train cake filled with candies for my son’s first birthday. It was a big hit!
Tips for Mompreneurs: We should remember to allot time for ourselves. I believe a happy mom makes a happy home. Take some time off once in a while to relax and unwind.
