NextGens from the Taylor’s FamBiz Club visited Kukè Desserterie —a hidden gem of a dessert café where every cake has a story. In a private session, founders Teik Inn and Corina shared the journey of Kukè, from its humble origins as an online-only venture to its flourishing retail presence in Bangsar.
 
The session resonated deeply with the seven NextGens in attendance. One attendee appreciated Mr. Inn’s philosophy of "focusing on the strengths and enjoying the process while building something," a sentiment that set the tone for the conversation. The group was also treated to a delightful taste-testing session, where each item came with its unique narrative of how the business began—a learning experience that underscored the value of passion and perseverance in every small business story.
 
Beyond the insightful strategies and behind-the-scenes anecdotes, one enthusiastic NextGen summed up the experience: "I love the cakes, can come back again!" Their feedback highlighted not only the appeal of the delectable treats but also the enriching blend of storytelling and practical business insights shared during the visit.
 
In the end, the event was a celebration of entrepreneurship, innovation, and the rewarding journey of building a family business—leaving everyone inspired and eager to apply these lessons in their own ventures.
