About

You can’t go looking for your passion; It finds You.

Growing up with a Sikhni mom and Bundelkhandi dad, I lived at the cusp of chole bhature/aate ke pude versus dal kachoris/maal puye. Food was the epicentre of our lives, around which our best moments evolved and memories of a lifetime were built; yes, food for me, was for my soul first and then my stomach.

By the time, I was in college, I was already baking cakes for my friends, in exchange for Nimbu Paani and Hot Samosa treats from our St. Stephen’s College Dhaba.

But it was only after my son was born, that I ventured into baking seriously. Mainly to fulfil his bizarre desire for Fondant covered Super-Heroes at first and then to fulfil other kids’ desire for fondant covered cartoon characters. And, before I knew it, my life was being freshly baked into a new Batter of Goodness every day.

The aromas of freshly baked cakes and cookies soon travelled from my tiny kitchen to the living rooms of all my friends and acquaintances. As requests and demands started pouring in, I realised there more to a cake than a mere food item for consumption. As Julia Child has famously said- “ A Party without a Cake, is Just a Meeting”. Soon, I was a full-time, much-in-demand Baker.

The best part about “my passion” is that it gets my creative side flowing. For me, baking is about creating memories, those special moments when your world comes to a hazy pause, you float in the clouds and stop…counting calories!

Nothing gives me more happiness than to see people gather around to celebrate their special moments… with a cake from Sweetopiaa. Every family, every mother, every child, has a different wish for “something meetha”, and it is absolutely thrilling to make their wishes come true. Inventing new customised cakes and themed party cakes is what keeps my creativity flowing.

This is the Story of how Sweetopiaa was born; spreading joy; creating memories; one cake at a time.
