Hi All,

I was born in Beijing, but have been living in Sydney for many many years. I am crazy about baking and going to Beijing to start a business soon! I am so excited!

I probably know Sydney a lot better than Beijing, so it would be good to meet more people and would love to hear your opinions on my business ideas

Thanks guys!

Love, Jess

@ Jessalba

There are a growing number of cake shops in Beijing.
There are a growing number of coffee shops in Beijing.

There are very few (if any) that provide both good coffee and good cakes!

Hi,
There are actually quite many dessert places already in Beijing, in order to be standing out, you need to have something unique here. Have you decided where your shop would be yet?

Regards,
Chelsea
