The journey of Cake O’Clock began when the CEO, Favour Ikedinma was merely ten years old. With a profound love for cakes and an insatiable curiosity about their creation, Favour embarked on a personal mission to unravel the secrets of baking.

To bring joy to her daughter’s life, Favour’s mother gifted her a cake recipe book. Seizing the opportunity in her mother’s absence, Favour fearlessly attempted her first-ever cake, adorning it with imaginative decorations that reflected her vision of what a cake should be.

The vision of Cake O’Clock, according to Ikedinma, is to become the most sought-after cake company in Nigeria and also beyond its borders. “Our mission revolves around providing customers with luxurious and high-quality products that not only meet but exceed their expectations, ensuring that they receive exceptional value for their money,” she said.

Similarly, they aim to solidify their position as the go-to destination for mouthwatering cakes and elevate their business to international acclaim.

Cake O’Clock has achieved significant milestones on its remarkable journey. In 2017, the company was officially registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission, cementing its status as a legitimate business entity. Two years later, in 2019, Cake O’Clock opened its first walk-in outlet in Abuja, Nigeria, bringing their delectable treats closer to cake enthusiasts. Recognising the need for expansion, Cake O’Clock invested in a larger training facility in 2021, reaffirming their commitment to developing and nurturing talented bakers.

With Favour Ikedinma at the helm, Cake O’Clock by Fav continues to shine as a rising star in the baking industry. Their unwavering dedication to excellence and their passion for crafting exquisite cakes have positioned them for even greater success in the future.
