From an amateur baker to a full-time vendor of homemade tiramisu, it took Yan Hui just a few months to make this transition. And it all started from her car trunk.
The idea of selling tiramisu from her car came to her in early 2022, when large sections of Beijing’s Chaoyang District, where Yan lives, were in quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Subways and buses weren’t running so her car became her main mode of transportation.
To make some extra money, she turned to the coffee-flavored Italian dessert.
