Khade Idogho



AGE: 25

OCCUPATION: Account Manager with Google (UK Sales Team)

LOCATION: Dublin

NATIONALITY: Nigerian / Irish

SIGNATURE BAKE: Red Velvet

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Co-habiting with girlfriend Rachelle



Khade was born in Nigeria and lived in Lagos until he moved to Ireland in 2001 age 12. He described it as a huge culture shock moving here. Khade has 3 sisters and 1 brother. His mother is a social worker for the Eastern Health Board in Dundalk.



Khade has a business degree from Trinity and a Masters from Smurfit School of Business. He loves his job and at the moment cannot imagine a place he would rather work in than Google. He does not know exactly what he wants to do but there are so many paths open to him there. Food is his main hobby. He loves finding and following cool baking blogs and he loves going out for a coffee and pastry or dessert. Khade got into baking about 5 years ago when his little sister and him were bored and decided to break out her 'baking for kids' book. It all came out pretty mediocre and since then he has been hooked on learning new techniques and challenging bakes.



One of Khade’s reasons for entering The Great Irish Bake Off is to get affirmation on his baking. Other people think he is good but they say things taste really good even when he is not totally happy himself with the bake. Therefore the opportunity to get objective feedback he feels is what it is all about.
