Patricia and Betty showing their cakes

Patricia and Betty, two of FairMail Peru’s ex-photographers, where very sad when they had to retire from FairMail 9 months ago. But at the same time very happy to make their dream reality: start-up theirown micro-enterprise called PatyBet Bakery (read the earlier blogpost about their plans here). Twelve months down the road they have shown that their business is successful. Also in attracting foreign investment from a Dutch micro-investor, wanting to help their business grow.

The investment was used to buy flower, sugar and butter at discounted wholesale prices but also different cake molds to increase production, cleaning materials and other ingredients necessary for baking cakes.

Now the PatyBet bakery has increased its production to about 20 to 23 cakes per week. Their clients seem to be very satisfied with the tasty product and the service provided. All the cakes leave the oven still hot and are delivered straight into the hands of their customers.
