Cece’s – - cakery
Pursuing baking as a childhood hobby Chenuka Fernando launched her own platform of baked goods in 2016. While committing to her 9-5 job she explored her bakery skills in many aspects. She is passionate about making a social distant birthday not very distant by connecting each other with customised cakes, chocolate coated strawberries, confections and monogram boxes.
Nobody deserves to spend their birthday in isolation without any connection or love, a surprise cake can definitely reconnect all the relationships that were distanced due to the lockdown. As she mentions,”People don’t have a way of purchasing a gift and delivering it personally, so I focused on introducing gift giving options where people can still make their friends and family feel special without the hassle.”
