Have you ever been to an ocassion that you couldn't wait to get a taste of the cake because the cake designer wowed you with its design? I attended one today. The cake was so excellent that if I had the power to rush the activities on the menu to the cutting and sharing of the cake, I won't hesitate to do it.
It's Shola Meses' (United Nations Peace Ambassador, and CEO Shola Mese Foundation) 52nd birthday, Team Coner Street productions headed by David Akwara paid him a surprise visit with a cake baked by Erica Tega (CEO teggy's Sweet Delights Cake). Earlier, Coner Street Productions was given approval to produce a documentary on the life of the living legend Shola Mese, who has dedicated his life and achievements to humanitarian service through the Shola Mese Foundation.
I was privilege to be among the team Coner Street guests. When I got to the venue, the reception was flooded with people with different kind of phones snapping from one direction. I couldn't get in to know what was going on, who they were snapping. "It must be the birthday celebrant they are snapping, the ocassion has already started. Hope I have not missed anything? Well, am just some minutes late, I wouldn't have missed much." I encouraged myself and got closer to see for myself what was going on. To my greatest surprise, it wasn't the celebrant they were snapping. It was the cake designer Tega, and the cake she made for Shola Mese. It was so beautifully crafted that no one in the phone paparazzi was satisfied with the shots they have taken of the cake, to the extent that they continued snapping until it was time to present it to the celebrant. One of the students of the Shola Mese Foundation couldn't hide her delight in the cakes design so she asked Tega to be the one to unveil the cake to the celebrant. You know the thing with cakes and their designer, only the designer can unveil the cake to the celebrant so Tega made her understand politely.
A cake has never gotten my attention as this one. It was so well designed that you would think it was imported. The United Nations Symbol and the Shola Mese Foundation logo were so well represented on the cake that you would think it is the work of a machine. I like attention to details, this cake wasn't short of any that it was calling me to have a bite. As we followed Tega upstairs to surprise Mr Shola Mese with the cake, the only thing on my mind was how good the cake would taste. The cake wowed Mr Shola Mese that his guest that was about leaving as we came in, joined us to present the cake to him. Finally, the cake was unveiled by Tega. She told us how David Akwaras briefing her about Shola Meses achievements and contribution to society through humanitarian services, inspired the cakes design. We all joined Mr Shola Mese to cut the cake and have a taste of it. Believe it or not, it's the best cake I have tasted all my life. The normal me in any ocassion I attend would just take a piece of the cake to at least complete my attending the ocassion, on this ocassion, I ATE the CAKE like I was eating food. That's how good TEGGYS SWEET DELIGHTS CAKE is.
The cake got me on a one on one chat with Tega as I wanted to know more about her works and how she comes about baking exceptional cakes.
ME- I love your cake. It is exceptional. I like how you paid attention to bringing out the details in the design. It's lovely. Tell me a bit of yourself and what inspired you to become this great cake designer.
TEGA- Thank you. My name is Omotowa Oghenetega Erica. I am the CEO of Teggy's Sweet Delights. I hail from Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State. I am a member of Bakers and Confectioners Association of Nigeria. I have always have great passion for Creativity and cakes. Coming in contact with the first cake that wowed me, designed by Zion cakes got me to make up my mind to become an exceptional cake designer.
ME- I was told you just graduated from Delta State Polytechnic Ozoro. How did you manage being a student and also an exceptional cake designer?
TEGA- it wasn't easy but if you are passionate about something, nothing can stop you if you go for it. I studied Science Laboratory Technology, Chemistry Option. The course was demanding as the need to become an exceptional cake designer but as you already know, my passion and determination to succeed in the both of them brought me this far.
ME- Student's demand cake the most, especially ladies. you must have gotten enough patronage from your fellow students while in school?
TEGA - Sure. But I need more patronage. The more the patronage, the bigger my ministry. Lol.
