Custom biscuit decorating in Kenya

Decorate custom biscuits from an approved design proof.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional custom order: thirty name-decorated biscuits, ten each for three approved names. The maker buys traceable plain biscuits and applies declared ready decorating icing; no unvalidated biscuit recipe is supplied. Individual protective packs, a rigid carton and spelling approval are included. Buyer changes after proof approval require a separately agreed remake.

Who is the first customer?
