Very creative mind. Good luck
@Emeka the cake u want for ur wife’s birthday is abt 950k….I love the cake as well and made enquiries
Fantastic
good job! please i’l like to make enquiries if Tosan does training and the price.
Too many faces, i think it should have been less human faces and more of the Cakes being exhibited.
i would love to know if he takes students, for what duration and amount pls.
My role model!Faaaaabulous cakes! I hope he responds to my emails one day.Definitely want to uprgade to his level.I am also interested in any form of training or tutorial he offers.

Nice cake designs but I noticed that a lotta people look more at cake designs and lay less emphasis on the taste of the cakes. The designs are beautiful, creative and artistic.
So Toba Aboyeji resigned from Banking to go and start baking cake…..ISSORAI.
Please who has OUCH’s no, i want to start making shirts too!
@ ZK, 950k 4 cake na wa o. Though l am really loving all these cakes esp the trad chest, baby in cot and CL shoes cake, l cannot spend that much 4 a cake o. Wish that l can bake like this.
Beautiful cakes, beautiful people,beautiful venue & beautiful event. Yap, nice one.
