Career
Baker
Since childhood, Renaye had a hobby of baking. She saw her mother trying out new recipes, and she learnt the basics of baking from her. In an interview, talking about how she learnt baking and experimenting with recipes, Renaye said,
I used to watch my mum bake and would end up helping her. I was inspired by her, and I also realised then that I really liked baking,”
Initially, Renaye used to bake for her friends, family members, and neighbours. Seeing the response to her baked items, her mother encouraged Renaye to pursue her hobby of baking professionally. In 2016, when Renaye was twelve, she started a home bakery with the support of her parents. In 2016, Renaye, with her sister Rheanne, initiated a bakery brand called Renaye’s Bake Sale, which includes a range of treats like cakes, muffins, brownies, and cookies.

In an interview, talking about her love for baking, she said,
I love baking. But when I started sharing my creation, it was even more satisfying for me. I also take professional orders and then bake cakes for poor children from the money. I love to see them happy while having the first bite of the cake.”
