The other day, I baked a Dora the Explorer cake for a child only for her mother to call me a few hours later asking for another cake as the child had refused to cut this one! That was a good day at work.
The best days are when someone challenges me to do something that I haven’t done before and I ace it.
“There are still days when I need to work nights as not all the cakes can be done way in advance but I have enough time to bond with my children and I am sure that none of my children will call me ‘auntie’ ever again.
I even get five hours each week to teach baking to women at Lang’ata Women’s Prison. Sharing my passion with people who can’t pay for it and not feeling like I am giving away valuable parts of myself is how I know that I made the right decision quitting my job.”

- I am a spiritual person and it was vital during this transition that I believed in something.
- I leaned heavily on my family, my spouse especially, for support.
- I did some research and took note of where there were gaps in the market. Then I carved out my niche.

Seems more of an ad for Rina’s bakery ad than a story on her job vs parenting and the deets around it. Hehe.
