Many people dream of leaving their job to start a business. But it isn't easy leaving the (relative) security of a regular income to follow your dream. Being your own boss can be an attractive pull to the (perceived) greener grass on the other side of the P45.

Lunch and Learn: Key steps to move from employee to entrepreneur

Many people dream of leaving their job to start a business. But it's hard leaving a regular income to follow your dream.

I’m Moyin, the founder and creative force behind Mr Desserts, a small but mighty bakery that brings the sweet and bold to London’s dessert scene. Baking has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and what started as a hobby quickly turned into a full-blown obsession — one that I’m lucky enough to now call my business.
Mr Desserts is all about pushing the boundaries of traditional treats. From our indulgent, sprinkle-infused birthday cake cupcakes to our rich and decadent s&apos;mores brownies, every creation is a blend of classic flavours with a twist that’s uniquely ours. We specialise in handcrafted, artisanal baked goods that are made with love, the finest ingredients, and a dash of something unexpected.
But it’s not just about the desserts for me. I’m deeply committed to creating an experience for my customers — one that’s filled with joy, nostalgia, and a bit of cheeky fun. Whether it’s through our playful products, bold branding, or the quirky little touches, my goal is to make every customer feel like they’re part of something special.
Running a home-based bakery has its challenges, but I thrive on the connection I have with my community. From popping up at local markets like Battersea Power Station to collaborating with other small businesses, I’m always looking for ways to grow, learn, and share my love for all things sweet.
If you’re in London and you haven’t tried Mr Desserts yet, what are you waiting for? Let’s make your next celebration (or just your next Tuesday) a little bit sweeter.

Member of the Month: Moyin Odeniran

Congratulations to our Member of the Month for September, founder of Mr Desserts, Moyin Odeniran.

I am head of media at Enterprise Nation and have spent the past 12 years working with start-up and small businesses to help them build solid marketing and PR campaign strategies that really help them to grow. I have also worked with the national enterprise campaign StartUp Britain, the fintech investment platform provider Smart Pension and trade skills charity the HomeServe Foundation on media and policy. All of these were built from scratch and grew, with marketing and PR central to that expansion.
