School girl makes specialty cakes after picking up baking as a hobby at a young age
Lola Niski, 9, has started her own custom cake company in New York after finding a love for baking. Niski creates the cakes without payment and just asks for voluntary tips, which have totaled about $7,000 so far. See one of her creations.
A nine-year-old from New York is pulling in a pretty penny thanks to a sweet business venture.
Lola Niski has been watching her mom Corinna Niski bake sweets ever since she was a baby — and has learned the ropes over the years.
Now, Lola Niski is taking her skills to the next level by baking special-occasion cakes for friends and family — all for free.

Corinna Niski said her daughter started Sweet Honey Bakes by Lola. All she asks for is voluntary tips in exchange for a themed cake, SWNS reported.
"Lola got into baking because she saw me do it and wanted to help," said the mom. "Once she got a bit older, she was really motivated to take more risks on her own."

The 37-year-old special education teacher said her daughter has the ability to make up to $600 a month on specialty cakes for others.
Some of the cake themes have included Mickey Mouse, Taylor Swift, golf and more — although Lola Niski said her favorite item to make is her peanut butter cookie recipe, which includes a chocolate fudge cookie with chocolate ganache and peanut-butter cup toppings.
