Why I launched “April Jedidiah” ?
I’m a musician by profession, and theologian by calling, but I’m really passionate about baking and find it relaxing. So, I started this company to share my love of baking with my friends and family, and people who can’t normally enjoy such baked goodies due to income restriction. My idea is to provide quality home baked stuff at a reasonable price.
