Turning a hobby into an easy money maker.

Precious Kanime is an 18-year-old first-year medical student at Unam. She enjoys baking, as well as reading, travelling and adrenaline-filled adventure. Precious is the owner of a small business called Baked by Precious. Baked by Precious is a home- based business which specialises in cinnamon rolls and has been operating for just under a year now.Her love for baking started in primary school, around grade 4. Her aunt, who lived with her at the time, used to experiment making new baked goods in the kitchen and would always include her in the process. Eventually she became curious and tried to bake her favourite baked treats by herself. Once her mom noticed that she was interested in baking, she bought her a lot of baking books and enrolled her in a Bakpro baking class for kids. Now, she bakes at home all the time and tries new recipes as much as possible. Her friends are the reason why she started her business as they continuously encouraged her to do it. She saw that there was a market and took the leap. At first, she wanted it to be for her friends and family only, but eventually, many interested parties were asking about it. That’s when she decided to create an Instagram page for her business. Betty Kanyimba, a customer, loves the diversity and, most importantly, the taste of the cinnamon rolls. Furthermore, the prices are extremely reasonable and Betty recommends that everyone tries out the cinnamon rolls.Precious mentions that she has learned so much about money, saving and time management. “What you put in is really what you get out,” said Precious. “The biggest challenge has been not taking orders for a while in order to focus on my schoolwork and also knowing when I need to put my school before the business. In order to fulfil both aspects of my life, baking and academics, I decided to only operate on weekends. This allows me to focus on my school work throughout the week without having to bake.”Whenever it comes to exam season or any academically rigorous time, she temporarily closes the business and informs her customers ahead of time to avoid disappointment. Her father, Andrew Kanime, mentioned how proud he is of her because of her immense growth from making her own logo to always taking the time to bake to the best of her abilities for her customers. She advises anyone that wants to start a small business to take the leap.
