Cake Goddess

Cake Goddess

Just after finishing his final exam, Chen Sichen began to devote most of his energy to the cake design studio he founded. No, she took another order for more than 20 boxes of macarons, a French dessert made with egg whites, almond flour, white sugar and icing sugar. At the same time, she also held training courses to guide students with no basic knowledge in making cake bases, matching cream shapes, and making lollipops?

Chen Sichen is a 2011 undergraduate student in the English Department of Beijing International Studies University. Not even my 22nd birthday yet. Chen Sichen, who had never been exposed to cake making before going to college, started his entrepreneurial journey last fall with a "cake dream" in mind. Today, she founded a cake design studio, applied for a business license, became her own CEO, and became the youngest "artistic cake master" in the world. She wants to use her actual actions to prove that children who grow up in a "honeypot" also have dreams and will find the life they want through hard work.

An electric oven ignites the cake dream in your heart

Chen Sichen has had an almost obsessed love for cakes since he was a child. He often stops outside the cake room to watch the chef making cakes. In the second semester of my junior year, my mother won an electric oven while participating in an event. It was such an accidental opportunity that ignited Chen Sichen's "cake dream".

She often searches for cake-making methods on the Internet and tries to bake cakes at home. At first, she thought cakes could only look like those sold in cake shops. But suddenly one day, Chen Sichen saw on her blog that a lady who had lived in the UK for a long time published several artistic cake works, and she was deeply shocked. ?I never thought that cakes could be as exquisite as works of art!?

Since then, Chen Sichen began to inject creativity into his cakes, no longer simply placing cartoon models, but It pays attention to the overall design of the cake. Whenever he has free time, Chen Sichen searches for cake making techniques online and looks for masters.

Chen Sichen can make the cake look like glass. The surface of the light blue cake is inlaid with irregular polygonal patterns, which looks like exploding glass; she can also make the cake look like a carousel in an amusement park. The shape shows several white horses running around a small pavilion. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is difficult to associate these exquisite works of art with cakes.

Art cakes originate from the UK and can be used to decorate cakes in various styles. This is a cake decoration technique that is extremely popular among Europeans and Americans. It is currently more popular in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, but in the city of Beijing it is not Little known. In September last year, Chen Sichen came up with the idea of ??starting a company. She wanted to pursue artistic cakes as a career and let more people know about it.

So, Chen Sichen began an intensive "journey to become a disciple".

In the early days of entrepreneurship, I was controversial and embarked on a lonely journey to become a disciple

This is a new journey for me. As a college student, I can’t help but be attracted by the cake. Attracted by the world, it is my dream to open a cake design studio. With a dream of cakes in mind, Chen Sichen, who had never traveled far away from his parents alone, packed up his bags and started exploring, embarking on an unforgettable journey to become a disciple.

Chen Sichen, who had no experience, relied solely on the guidance of Weibo and blogs to search for cake "masters" all over the country. Chen Sichen took the high-speed train to Jinan and learned from Teacher Joy how to make a French dessert called macarons. Then he arrived in Zhejiang Haining, Guangzhou, and Shanghai to learn fondant skills, which are the basis for making artistic cakes. This also allowed Chen Sichen to get close to the "art cake" industry. From October to December last year, Chen Sixen had a full schedule for three months.

The road to entrepreneurship is not easy. ?When you start your own business for the first time, you will find that strangers are the first to believe in you, partners are the first to encourage you, people around you are the first to look down on you, and you are the first to not believe in you. Relatives, the one who hits you hardest is the one who loves you the most. This was originally a sentence said by Jack Ma, but it gave Chen Sichen great spiritual comfort when she was in the most painful and confused early days of starting her business. This sentence really made her feel sad. Chen Sixen felt the same way.

Chen Sichen’s family does not support her starting a business and believes that girls should find a solid and stable job. It is very shameful for a college student studying translation to make cakes. The classmates in the class also had misunderstandings about Chen Sixen. During the intensive study period, he missed a lot of courses. In the eyes of his classmates, this was a sign of not doing his job properly.

In the face of doubts, Chen Sixen did not abandon her original intention, because too many people did not understand artistic cakes, so they misunderstood her. However, when Chen Sichen placed an artistic cake tailor-made for a customer in front of her family for the first time, her family was stunned by Chen Sichen's craftsmanship. At this time, Chen Sichen became more determined on his entrepreneurial path.

Finally, at the end of October last year, the studio’s LOGO design was released. Chen Sichen rented a house in a community in the South Second Ring Road and completed the business license application at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? Beijing Cake Eye Eye) Dessert Design Co., Ltd. was born!

Chen Sichen recruited six employees for the company, all of whom were her friends, two of whom were classmates at the Second Foreign Language School. Sales, lecturers, publicity, raw material distribution? The division of labor is different, and the company is gradually getting on the right track.

When the company was first established, in order to improve herself and the company’s strength, Chen Sichen flew to the UK to take the British Royal Cake Decoration Art Qualification Certification exam, which is the most authoritative certification in the field of artistic cakes.
