Talented self-taught cake artist shares inspiring journey
Briefly News spoke to the lady to find out how she got to this level of talent and what inspired her to pursue a career in cake decorating. She shared her inspiring story:
"My name is Tshepiso Nyakane, and I am a self-taught cake artist. My earliest memory of baking was with my mom every Christmas as a child. I grew to love baking, and the love developed when I got to high school and chose Home Economics as one of my subjects. Every so often, I would beg my mom to buy me Drum magazine so I could try out baking recipes at the back of the magazine after school.
"I went on to pursue an Honours degree in finance and worked for corporate whilst continuing to bake for family and friends. I was pregnant with my second daughter, and on maternity leave when I bought my first cake pan and baked a 'proper cake', until then I’d just be baking scones, biscuits and the likes. I posted the cake on my WhatsApp profile when a lady friend asked me if I sold cakes, and I said 'yes' (which wasn’t true). She asked for a price list, and I quickly scrambled for cake prices on the internet and put together a pricelist, and that was how the business started. Word spread, and I started getting customers. In the same month, I registered the business, and the rest is history.
"In 2022, I left corporate to pursue my business full time and it has been the best decision I made. With most people calling me chef, in August 2022, I decided to make it official and get formally trained. I just completed my training and am soon to be a qualified pastry chef.
"Over and above, I also run a baking academy. How it started was, during lockdown, I decided to share one-minute videos on my Instagram teaching people how to make simple bakes. It grew quite rapidly, and with time people started asking if I hosted baking classes for birthday cakes, again I said 'yes' (which wasn’t true).
"November 2021, I started baking lessons in my house. Bakers travel from all over the country to attend these classes. I got overwhelmed by the demand, and I thought of a system where I could reach more bakers at the same time, and that is how the idea of Bakers' conferences came about. In January 2022, I hosted my first conference at the Maslow Hotel in Sandton. I hosted 100 bakers from all over the country, and seeing that the event was sold out within 24 hours, I realised there is a huge demand and that people were hungry for knowledge, so went on to host more conferences.
"Since my first conference, I have hosted four more, one at the Sandton convention centre, Durban International convention centre twice and Hilton Hotel, all within a year and a half, and have taught and mentored more than 500 bakers across the country on the art of baking and the technicalities of running a successful cake business.
"Our baking academy has grown beyond the borders of South Africa, I was recently invited to teach in Zambia and Lusaka at a bakers conference and also received an invite to teach at the Zimbabwe Africa bakers summit, which will be held in the coming month.
"I have big dreams and continue to push myself by creating out-of-the-box delicious works of art and trying to challenge the South African baking industry to grow beyond what it currently is. Being a woman of colour in the industry is incredible because the industry is evolving. Historically there weren’t as many women of colour running successful cake businesses in the country. To buy a custom cake, you had to travel a long distance to “suburban areas” because that was predominantly a place where you could purchase it. I love where the industry is going and cannot wait to see what is in store for us bakers specifically in our country."
