West Sussex mum launches cake shed – you can even buy her bakes in your pyjamas!
A Littlehampton mum with a passion for baking is about to launch a new cake shed.
The grand opening of Nora’s cake shed in Southfields Road, Littlehampton, will be on Saturday, November 28
It is run by Amina Russell and is named after her 19-month-old daughter, Nora. It will be open every Saturday from 8am to 8pm, selling cakes, brownies, cookies and more. Times may change based on how busy it is.
The shed will operate on an honesty based system: customers will calculate the cost of what they buy and pay either with exact cash in the cash box or via a QR code for transfer.
Amina said: “People can even turn up in their pyjamas at 7pm if they want to, without having to speak to anyone or be judged on the amount of cake they decide to purchase.”
Amina said the decision to launch a cake shed stemmed from her lifelong passion for baking. She said she has always baked for friends and family birthdays.
She added: "Friends and family would always say I should start a business because they want the world to experience my cakes, I’m very self-critical, but they are apparently quite good!
" Because I look after my daughter half the week and also work part-time, I decided to open a cake shed instead of a typical baking business so I could ensure I still spend time with Nora and continue my part-time job. I’ll be spinning a few plates to say the least.
"My biggest inspiration for starting it was having my daughter, I want to teach her that she should follow her passion and dreams and life is far too short to not do what you love."
