ONE YEAR OF CRAVE TO TASTE 😭💚🇳🇬✨ Honestly… where do I even begin? A year ago, Crave To Taste was nothing but a dream in my heart, a craving I couldn’t ignore, and a vision to create authentic Nigerian small chops that truly tasted like home 🥹 I didn’t have everything figured out. I didn’t have a big team. I didn’t have a perfect plan. What I did have was faith, passion, tired hands willing to keep rolling pastry sheets at midnight, and the hope that one day, people would genuinely connect with what I was building 💚 And somehow… here we are. One whole year later 😭✨ A year of: Late nights. 3AM productions. Balancing a full-time job while building this dream. Flour-covered clothes. Exhaustion. Growth. Learning. Mistakes. Happy tears. Answered prayers. And countless cravings satisfied across the UK 🇬🇧📦🇳🇬 There were moments I doubted myself. Moments I felt overwhelmed. Moments I wondered if people would truly see the vision behind this brand. But then came YOU 🥹💚 Every order. Every repost. Every referral. Every review. Every “this tastes like home.” Every “I’m addicted.” Every kind word and every single person who chose Crave To Taste… You helped turn this little idea into something so real and so beautiful 😭💚 What started in a small kitchen has now grown into a community of Cravers spread across the UK, and I genuinely do not take a single bit of it for granted. And while today marks one year of Crave To Taste… I truly believe this is only the beginning 😮‍💨✨ Thank you for growing with me. Thank you for believing in this brand. Thank you for allowing me to serve you pieces of home, comfort, nostalgia and joy through food 🇳🇬💚 Happy 1 Year to Crave To Taste 🥹🎉✨ From my heart, thank you.🙏🏽 Before I go, I’ve got something exciting for you all in my next posts, so stay tuned!🤭💚💃🏽 #cravetotaste #businessanniversary #businessgrowth #smallchopsuk #nigerianfooduk taken in Birmingham, United Kingdom by @_.thisisashley

+1 today 🎂✨ God is truly the Greatest. 🙇🏽‍♀️🙏🏽❤️ I’ve been so reflective today… just looking back in awe of how much can truly change in a year. This time last year, owning a business wasn’t even in the cards for me. I didn’t see it. I didn’t plan it. I didn’t fully believe it. But here we are. Running a full business. Building a vision. Walking in answered prayers. My first birthday as your Craver-in-Chief 🥹💚 What a journey. What a God. What a year. And this is only the beginning. I’m excited and ready to receive all the blessings that this new age brings.🤲🏽 Thank You Jesus!🙏🏽❤️ #cravetotaste #birthday #smallchopsuk #smallbusinessowner #explore taken in Birmingham, United Kingdom by @_.thisisashley

MSc officially secured! 🎓✨ Master of Science in International Business with Human Resource Management — complete! This journey stretched me, shaped me and tested me in every possible way. It demanded discipline, resilience, and deep belief in the vision I held, even on the toughest days. But by God’s grace, I made it through. Today, I celebrate not just a degree, but a season of growth, grit, and purpose. I didn’t do it alone. I had my not-so-little village standing firmly beside me, and I can honestly say there is no me without them. To my mum: your strength, sacrifices and prayers made all of this possible, I carry this win with your name stitched in it. Thank you for everything.❤️ To my brother: thank you for being my constant source of motivation and belief. To my godmother: your support, kindness, presence throughout this season meant the world to me. Thank you for showing up for me in ways that truly mattered.❤️ To my friends and loved ones who travelled from far and near, who showed up despite busy schedules, your presence made this milestone even more meaningful. I felt the love deeply, and I’ll never forget it. This degree isn’t just a certificate, it’s the foundation of everything I’m building. From student to entrepreneur, I’m now pouring everything I’ve learned into @cravetotaste my Nigerian-inspired small chops & Pastry business, rooted in culture, passion, and purpose.💚 This is only the beginning. I’m walking boldly into the next chapter.. with purpose, with power, with peace and plenty of cravings to taste.😉🤭❤️ We did it. And we are only just getting started!☺️🎉 ❤️ #MScGraduate #internationalbusiness #blackexcellence✊🏾 #proudmoment #supportsystem #gratitude #wedidit #newbeginnings #cravetotaste #smallbusinessowner #entrepreneur #explorepage✨ #exploremore taken in Birmingham Town Hall by @_.thisisashley
