Kadison Harris started making cupcakes from Tiktok recipes during the first lockdown two years ago.
Fast forward to today and she has a thriving business, Kaadsbakes - set up with a shop and a mobile trailer.
“I was just posting my cupcakes on my Instagram and people were like‘Can you make me some?’.
“So I did that for about a year and a half out of my mum’s kitchen, and then, when lockdown finished, I decided not to go back to work, and just do this fulltime instead,” Harris says.

The Hamilton-based 26-year-old says, although she isn’t “the best” at the admin side of things, it’s her frosting that separates her cupcakes from the competitors.
“Most people use a buttermilk frosting but I use a cream cheese frosting, so I feel like that’s the main difference between mine and others.
“In terms of the business side, I don’t really know what I’m doing, to be honest. I just like making cupcakes.”
Harris says one of her long-term goals is to create a dry mix and sell them at supermarkets.
