Oluwatosin is a Chef who has a professional diploma in cuisines and pastries. She says as a child she wanted to be a doctor but watching her mother inspired her love for catering. Out of fear she didn’t let her dad know and God willing, she found herself in commercial class and when she entered the university, she began baking and selling pastries.
