Limpopo businesswoman opens up about her love of baking scones
The 28-year-old initially enjoyed making scones mainly as a hobby, which she later developed into a lucrative business:
“I’ve been messing around in the kitchen with flour since I was 10. I baked for my family during the festive season and when we had family gatherings.
“Then they advised me to turn my hobby into a business. Since I started my enterprise in 2020, I’ve never looked back.”
The young lady who bakes scones, biscuits, and more runs her business alone
The entrepreneur may run her business by herself in a rented space, but her dreams go far beyond the confines of where she currently is in life.
Enica, who is currently studying for a Bachelor of Education at the University of South Africa, is highly ambitious and wants to grow her business:
“My future aspiration is to own a big bakery that produces anything pastry-related to create jobs in my surrounding areas. Also, I want to have a coffee shop in the near future.”
