In this special business episode we're diving into the delightful world of nikibakes, where gluten-free treats meet community spirit! Niki, the mastermind behind this award-winning bakery stall, has transformed her kitchen into a local favourite, serving up sweet and savoury bakes that are as friendly to the palate as they are to those with dietary restrictions. We chat about her journey from a corporate food marketing gig to fully embracing her passion for baking, and how local markets have become a heartwarming part of her life. Plus, Niki shares some touching moments that show just how food can bring people together, like when a cake reminded a customer of her mother's baking. So, grab a snack and settle in as we explore resilience, creativity, and a sprinkle of sugar in this sweet episode!Would you like to feature your business in an episode of The Sheppertonian?
