Project description

Today, the bakery offers wedding cakes and cakes for various occasions, cookies, cupcakes, pastries, and a selection of vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free products. Everything is made exclusively to order; most orders are placed via WhatsApp and social media. In addition, the company offers baking classes and cake-decorating sessions, which are an experiential part of the business.

A small team of bakers, decorators, and an operations manager supports Melissa in her day-to-day work. Clear recipes, defined processes, and regular checks ensure quality. At the same time, growth is hampered by limited space, restricted equipment capacity, and a reliance on external motorcycle couriers.

In the coming years, Melissa plans to strengthen internal structures, bring delivery operations in-house, provide further training for her team, and upgrade key equipment. Through these measures, she aims to increase production capacity, particularly for wedding cakes and corporate clients. With BPN’s support, Melissa can strategically plan her growth, professionalize her operational processes, and sustainably develop her bakery without compromising the quality that sets her business apart.
