The pandemic has put a pause on everyone’s life. Particularly so, during the lockdown. Many had ample amount of time on their hands and enough resources to experiment. While some had found new hobbies, and some were immersed in the OTT platform- forever binging, here’s a list of people who began their own baking business. From gourmet sweets to birthday cakes to brownies, here’s a list of bakers from Vizag who listened to their heart, followed their passion, and became entrepreneurs during the pandemic.
4 young bakers from Vizag delivering deliciousness via Instagram:
#1 Bake and Roll by Subhasree Ray
Subha is 21 and also a part-time YouTuber. An ardent fan of Monica Geller, Subha is an expert in baking Brownies. Our personal favourite is her chocochip brownies.
Subha began her business- ‘Bake and Roll’ in July. She has been into baking since she was in high school. However, she didn’t have proper baking equipment until June 2020. Until then, she tried to make everything that didn’t need a cooker. For Subha, baking is bliss and she wishes there were more than 24 hours a day. Eventually, she hopes to open up her café.
