Nissi’s Cake Room, 3214 Washington Avenue, opens its doors in West Racine despite challenging circumstances. A global pandemic, road construction, and fleaing Honduras aren’t stopping a local baker from following her dreams. Bakery owner, Nidia Irias’ love for baking wasn’t letting anything get in her way from the opening her own storefront.
In September of 2020, Nidia Irias opened the bakery. This journey is a long time coming, but worth it to the Irias family.
Leaving Honduras
In 2007, Nadia and her husband, Javier, escaped from their homeland. The violence in Honduras prompted the two to leave. The United States is full of promising opportunities that Irias set out to achieve. She left her life behind and her former profession of being a Pharmacist.
The couple settled in Racine, Wisconsin in the early 2000s. Irias was unable to continue practicing as a Pharmacist due to a language barrier. She has children at home that she knew she needed to provide for them. So, she began taking English classes. Additionally, she started baking.
“Chemistry is a big part of baking. The way you combine ingredients will create something new, there are reactions involved in it,” says Nissi’s Cake Room owner.
Blossoming into a Bakery
As a child, Irias loved to bake. As she’s grown, so have her skills. Baking isn’t just a hobby anymore, she’s perfected her craft. Thus, with such experience, Nissi’s Cake Room was born.
Members of Irias’ church began requesting cakes and cupcakes. The request were overwhelming so Irias’ husband had to jump into help his wife. He’s an engineer by trade and was able to make the unusual celebration cakes that people ordered, come alive.
Opening a bakery has been a result of Irias’ hard work. What makes her bakery different than the others?
