Helen: What lessons have you learned in running your business that you can pass to those considering a career in cake making?
Ajarat: Cake making is not an easy task I must confess… In cake making, don’t work for money… Make it a passion.. Never rate yourself low, aim high.. Commitment must be your watchword..

There you are, up in the sky.
