My Journey to opening Dubai's first Argentine Bakery

My Journey: From Argentina to Dubai

I start baking when I’m a teenager in Argentina, not because I need to, but because I want to have my own money. While still in school, I begin baking cakes and sweets at home and selling them. Soon, I’m bringing my baked goods to local markets, growing my passion for baking.

From Bakeries to Business Dreams

I work in various bakeries and cafes, learning the ins and outs of the industry. But I’m always looking for new opportunities, and eventually, I decide to move to Europe. There, I begin as a flight attendant. However, the pandemic changes everything. I lose my job, and after working at a call center in London, I decide to return to my passion for baking.

A New Beginning in London

I open an Instagram account from scratch and start baking from home, sharing photos of my creations. Over time, I build a small following and, after a few months, I get the courage to ask a bakery for a job. I work from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. baking for them and then, in the evenings, baking for my growing customer base.

Building My Dream Bakery

I spend over a year dedicated to my dream, saving everything I can to open my own bakery. While searching for a location in London, I realize that I’m not meant to stay there. So, I look into Dubai and discover there are no Argentinian bakeries there. I know in that moment that this is where I’m meant to be.

A Dream Realized in Dubai

In less than eight months, I open Ninna Bakery—completely on my own. From that point on, I continue to share my journey, my mission, and the story of bringing Argentina’s traditions to Dubai.
