<strong>The</strong> <strong>BusinessDay</strong> <strong>CEO</strong>, Aug <strong>2017</strong> | 33<br />

Being a millennial running your own business is a pretty big deal with the current economic situation in Nigeria.<br />

What was your journey like to the Vanilla Bakehouse?<br />

Vanilla bake house started out of my mums kitchen. After moving back to Nigeria, I was in search of a good red velvet<br />

cake. So I went into the kitchen to satisfy my craving. Baking became part of my routine . My mum ,sister and friend<br />

constantly asked me to bake. One night while speaking to my mum, the idea of turning my passion for cooking into a<br />

business came up.<br />

After thinking about it for a couple of months, I decided to go to culinary school. With the help of a friend, I found a culinary<br />

school in Dubai. I went to culinary school for a couple of months and moved back to Nigeria.<br />

A couple of months after moving back to Nigeria, Vanilla Bakehouse was born. A name which was influenced by my dad.<br />

With the help of Instagram and referrals , we now own our physical store in Lekki.
