In the truest spirit of the GYE, Argent Technologies awarded $5000 to 15-year-old Akeila “Akki” Tejwani in 2020.
Akki, a high school sophomore, has started a bakery business that offers healthy, organic, and vegan snack options, all while giving back to her community. Akki’s Cupcakery & Tea donates a substantial portion of it’s profits to charities that benefit kids.
Akki was inspired by her own experiences with dietary restrictions growing up. “I wanted to come up with healthy and vegan options for kids to enjoy the baking savories as I was not able to eat sweet things as I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was one year old,” she says.
“I am very passionate about Cupcakes, Teas and Working with Kids! I came up with this idea of using organic ingredients for all my recipes and donating 50% of the proceeds to kids charities in San Antonio.”

All of Akki’s baked goods are made fresh to order, never premade in large batches. She offers a variety of organic, gluten-free, and vegan options. Her online bakery makes ordering and scheduling pickup or delivery easy and convenient.
Akki’s Cupcakery & Tea has made quite the splash in the San Antonio area, with testimonials and 5-star reviews raving about her baked goods. San Antonio’s CBS KENS5 even did a piece on her business.
