《2026年一本密卷高考英语》

B（2025·山东潍坊·高三检测）
Ke'Nyzjah Ferebee was standing by the kitchen worktop, adding cupcake liners to a pan. She used an ice cream spoon to fill each with cake batter（面糊）to ensure they would look identical. A finished group sat on the counter with white buttercream turning on top. The cupcakes were for a 2-year-old's "Moana"-themed birthday party. The next day, she had orders for a two-tiered cake and two birthday cakes.
While most teenagers are spending the summer hanging out with friends and working, Ke'Nyzjah is filling orders, updating her website and getting new branding photos. She owns and operates KayKe Bakery, a home-based business, specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes. She offers 14 flavors. She requires at least two to four weeks' notice on orders, and she gets six to seven a week.
In 2020, she started baking out of boredom and a desire for cake. She asked her mom for a solution. Mom pointed her to a box of cake mix in the cupboard. Ke'Nyzjah's first attempt failed. But she tried making more cakes the next day. She got better.
She watched hours of YouTube videos to come up with a recipe and to teach herself baking techniques. "Once I got on Instagram and started seeing other people's decorated cakes, that's when I got inspired to be a cake artist instead of just a baker," she said. She took business classes such as digital marketing at her school. She also registered for a course to become a certified customer service specialist. It taught her how to talk to customers and get through a sale. She's constantly trying to find more ways to promote her business and find new clients. "It's a little difficult having to keep up with both my Instagram and my Facebook pages and managing school, personal life and a business. It can be a lot sometimes, but I manage."
Nakesia Fercbec, Ke'Nyzjah's mother, felt her daughter's father has been influential. Ke'Nyzjah gives her mother a large of the credit. "She's like my biggest supporter. She's made me who I am. I've come to realize that I am an incredible person."
