Every Heritage Bakes order still starts with a recipe Tunde Adeyemi learned at home. The challenge of the last few years has been keeping that true while shipping across the country.

The first hundred orders

The first hundred orders were a crash course in logistics: packaging that survives transit, schedules that protect freshness, and the unglamorous work of consistency.

"Growth is only worth it if the thing you're known for survives it."

- Tunde Adeyemi

Tunde invested in process before pushing marketing — a decision that meant slower early growth but far fewer mistakes once demand arrived.

Lessons learned

His advice to other makers: protect the core product, document everything, and don't scale a problem you haven't solved at small volume.
