ABOUT

Jenneh Kaikai is the owner and cake designer at Pelah Kitchen, a bespoke micro-bakery run out of Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn that specializes in botanical cake artistry. Pelah means “home” in Mende, a nod to Jenneh’s Sierra-Leonean heritage. As a self-taught baker and aspiring recipe maker, she likes to think of sharing her desserts as a way of inviting people into her home and ultimately the diverse flavors and ingredients of the African diaspora.
