Meet Ashley Pretorius
Family and friends have always been a huge part of my life and there wasn’t a week that would go by without some special occasion or event being celebrated from my home in Walvis Bay, Namibia
What better way to celebrate Success, Achievement, Progress or just Life itself, than with a slice of cake…… and in the company of good friends and family, not to mention perhaps a bottle of bubbly coffee or tea
I decided to marry the two… my love for sweeter things in life and my passion for being creative and enjoying and experiencing good food and sharing that with all ….
And so my journey began where I moved to Cape town and met some wonderful people who shared my thinking and were keen on helping me realise my dream and develop my talents . Back to school I went and worked towards achieving my Diplomas in Patisserie and Culinary Arts with Capsicum Culinary School in Cape Town.
Upon graduating, my road led me to the City of Gold where an opportunity arose for me to partner with good friends who believed in my abilities and that the time was right to venture into a confectionary business. Aqd Cakery was birthed!
