Cakes, Chaos, and Lagos Wahala. Welcome to the wild world of a Lagos Baker!
Dayo thought leaving her IT career to run a luxury cake business would be sweet and simple. Instead, she found herself knee-deep in buttercream battles, fondant-fueled madness, and Lagos customers who bring more drama than a Nollywood blockbuster.

Whether she's rescuing wedding cakes from the brink of disaster, dodging fake money at the counter, or unexpectedly finding a little romance between cake orders, Dayo's journey proves that in Lagos, cake is never just cake.
Funny, dramatic, and full of the irresistible energy of Lagos, this book is perfect for lovers of food, business, and behind-the-scenes event industry chaos. If you've ever wondered what really happens in a baker's kitchen, or just love a good laugh, Memoirs of a Lagos Baker is your next must-read!
