In a time where we are advised to stay home, people are in need of something new. Watching the same shows can be rather boring. Zambia is in need of a show that sees celebrities flexing their cooking skills to cook up something that can tickle your taste buds
Speaking during an exclusive interview with Zambian Business Times –ZBT House of cakes C.E.O Fazila Lulat says they have come with a brilliant initiative of hosting Zambia’s first ever cake bake show live on social media platforms.
“It’s the first time that we have done this so we want to see how this will work on social media platforms. So far we’ve had very good reviews. People are really getting excited about this. The first day when we put the opening one we had 12 thousand views”,
Lulat disclosed that they are not putting the whole show online and says the first day was a teaser to hook people’s attention that’s why they showed the 1 hour show online. But even though they are only showing bits of the show, they are still getting over a thousand views
The first day we did a full on 1 hour 30 minutes live show. But yesterday we didn’t do a full show because the first day was a teaser for everybody to see what’s coming up. Yesterday we only did small shot bits for people to have an idea of what’s coming. We are not putting the whole show every day online. Even though we had shot bits, we still had over thousand eight hundred viewers.
However she says that next week they will put up full episodes. When asked how house of cakes recruits the musicians, Lulat explained that most of celebrities are clients and inviting them was not a challenge.
“Most of these celebrities are our clients at house of cakes. So we sent them invitations if they were willing to participate and all these celebrities where happy to participate in the challenge”, she said.
The competition is a combination of professional and experienced bakers and they were enrolling when house of cakes announced the challenge two weeks ago. A celebrity is paired with a baker during the bake off.
“They are paired in twos. What we did is that people were enrolling when we put it up two weeks ago. It’s a mixture of bakers. One baker and one celebrity are paired together and every day two teams are challenged together”, she said
