MÄNI'S BAKERY CAFÉ

Someone New at Mäni’s - And Quite Special

Rarely in my 18 years of running Mäni’s have we experienced such a wonderful talent and at a very young age and showing so much talent and promise.  At first I was skeptical of another young intern and especially at only 16 years old.  But she came very highly recommended from a distinguished consultant.

So we decided to give her a chance to bake in a real commercial setting.  Gina has quickly captured our attention and now we’re very delighted to have her at Mäni’s this summer.

The rest of this story is written by Gina:

Ever since I can remember I have loved baking cakes. It started with my Easy Bake Oven and as I got older, my excitement for baking grew. For many birthdays my aunt would give me baking lessons as a gift and I would be inspired to bake more and more. Then, I started receiving all sorts of baking books and I would start experimenting with each recipe that I found interesting. I then took a course in cake decorating and I am now the official cake maker in my family.
Now I am an intern at Mäni’s Bakery and I am experiencing the professional side of baking. It has taught me many new things for example replacing certain ingredients in the recipes to make them healthier and also working with larger quantities. From baking at the age of 4 with a plastic oven to a industrial oven the size of my closet my baking passion has grown as well.
