Amari Baking Center – Our Story

Amari Baking Center is a startup that was founded in February 2012. It was founded by Maureen Kamari and co-founder, Elaine Kamari, her sister.

Amari Bakery Center started on March 15th, 2012 as an online delivery bakery producing fruit breads and delivering them to customers all over Nairobi. This was due to a need we identified at that time of lack of fruit breads variety in the market. There was also a limited number of bakeries that offered free delivery in Nairobi at the time. In April 2013, Amari Baking Center moved to a shop on Kikuyu road, but due to poor location and early expansion; the shop had to be dosed and business moved back to its home base in Ndwaru road, Riruta.

In August 2014, we chose to focus on the baking classes due to high demand and we stopped offering baked goods for sale. We realized that there was a need for individuals to learn how to bake using economical equipment, such as the Cookswell charcoal ovens, in order to gain skills that could help the start small income-generating baking activities. We also changed our name to reflect our current products and services – Amari Baking Center.
