An 89-year-old gran in Colombia gets a taste of the sweet life as she buys her first-ever home after going viral on TikTok with her homemade biscuit recipes.
The grey-haired baker, named only as Inesita in local media, has become a huge TikTok hit from clips where she shares her traditional recipes for cakes and puddings.
Heartwarming footage shows her crying with joy as she steps into her first home of her own and gets a guided tour from her devoted family.
As she gets to the kitchen, where her fame came from, she sobs as she looks at the brand-new cabinets and fittings.
Inesita is escorted to the bedroom and shown the rest of the house including a huge walk-in shower room as she repeatedly wipes tears from her eyes.
She then tells the person filming that she never believed that she would one day become the owner of her own home.
One family member is heard saying to her: “This is your home!”
And she replies: “This is my home, thank God!”
Earlier she had cut a red ceremonial ribbon across the front door before she stepped inside across the smart tiled porch.
The person filming asks: “Can you believe it?”
And she replies: “No, I can’t believe it!”
The clip has gone viral on TikTok, according to local media.
A caption says: “We just have to say THANK YOU! Thank you grandchildren for making this a reality, for every purchase, for sharing every video, for sending all the most beautiful energies, and for every message of support and love!
“After months of effort, we can say that Inesita has her home, her dream come true, a place where she can be very calm. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.”
A second clip shows Inesita demonstrating one of her cooking recipes, showing her viewers how to make a local dessert, bloopers and all.
At one point she turns on a blender without its lid but gets away with it.
