Today we’d like to introduce you to Angel Turner
Hi Angel, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
In 2017, I decided to take a leap of faith and start my own catering business. With a passion for cooking and a love for creating unique dishes, I knew that I had the potential to make something special. Little did I know that within a decade, Nanna’s Country Cakes would become a thriving business, serving a plethora of corporate and celebrity clients.
From the very beginning, I wanted to set myself apart from other catering companies by offering gourmet menus and creative presentation. I believe that food is not only about taste, but also about the visual experience that it provides. I spent countless hours experimenting with different ingredients and flavors, trying to find the perfect combinations that would wow my customers.
It wasn’t long before word started to spread about Nanna’s Country Cakes. Soon, I found myself catering events for major corporations and even some high-profile celebrities. The key to our success was our dedication to providing top-notch service and delicious food every single time. We never cut corners or compromised on quality, and our clients appreciated that.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The culinary world can be a challenging and competitive industry to break into, let alone succeed in. As an aspiring entrepreneur in the food business, I faced numerous adversities along the way. However, through perseverance, determination, and a passion for food, I was able to overcome these obstacles and carve out a successful career for myself.
One of the biggest challenges I faced in the culinary world was establishing my own business. Starting a restaurant or food-related business is no easy feat. It requires a significant amount of capital, time, and effort to get off the ground. Securing funding, finding the right location, hiring the right staff, and creating a unique menu all presented their own challenges. However, I refused to let these obstacles deter me from pursuing my dream. I worked tirelessly, networked with industry professionals, and sought guidance from mentors to help me navigate the complexities of starting a business in the culinary world.
Another challenge I faced was standing out in a crowded market. The culinary industry is saturated with countless restaurants, food trucks, catering companies, and other food-related businesses. In order to succeed, I needed to find a way to differentiate myself from the competition. I focused on creating a unique and innovative menu that showcased my culinary skills and creativity. I also prioritized providing exceptional customer service and creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere for diners. By offering something different and memorable, I was able to attract a loyal customer base and generate positive word-of-mouth buzz.
Despite the many adversities I faced in the culinary world, I never lost sight of my passion for food and my determination to succeed. With hard work, perseverance, and a willingness to learn from my mistakes, I was able to overcome the challenges that came my way and build a successful and thriving business in the food industry. Today, I am proud to say that I have turned my culinary dream into a reality and continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the culinary world.

We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
Throughout my life and creative endeavors, I have often pondered the role that luck has played in shaping my path. However, upon reflection, I realize that it has been more about destiny and faith guiding me along the way. Art has always been a central part of my existence, a calling that I have never been able to ignore. From a young age, I found solace and joy in creating, whether it be through painting, drawing, or culinary arts.
While some may attribute my success to luck, I believe that it is more about aligning with fate and following the path that has been laid out for me. My journey into the world of culinary arts was not something that I had meticulously planned out, but rather something that unfolded naturally as I followed my passion for food and creativity.
As I embarked on this new chapter of my life, I found myself immersed in a world where art and gastronomy intersected, providing me with a platform to express my creativity in a tangible and delicious way. Through my culinary creations, I was able to showcase my artistic talent and bring joy to others through the medium of food.
In moments where doubt crept in and challenges presented themselves, I had to remind myself of the faith and belief that had led me to this point. While luck may have played a small role in opening certain doors, it was ultimately my perseverance, dedication, and unwavering belief in my abilities that propelled me forward.
I have come to understand that luck is fleeting, but destiny is enduring. It is the unwavering faith in oneself and the willingness to embrace the unknown that truly shapes our lives and creative endeavors. As I continue on this journey of self-discovery and artistic expression, I am grateful for the faith that has guided me thus far and excited for the destiny that awaits me.
