Cakey Bakey - Anwesha Mohanty

"I used to play 'Purble Palace' on my cousin's laptop, unaware that it would become my reality one day. I wanted to join a baking workshop, but by the time Maa was convinced, the workshop was done with. I decided to learn on my own. I bought a premix and though the ultimate product was not bad, the ingredients' proportion was a huge mismatch. .

In 2020, when the pandemic grasped the world, I was locked in my house, with no work and company. My parents were out of station and I was getting bored to death. Instantly, the idea of baking cakes came to mind. It was my Bhabi's birthday and I tried making a cake for her. She loved it and immediately placed an order for another cake for her cousin's birthday. I was nervous, but I kept working. Word of mouth helped me with more and more orders.

My parents, at this time, knew nothing as they were out of town. When they learnt of this, they appreciated the cakes and asked me not to make it a business as it I was going to appear for boards the following year. I promised that my studies won't be hampered, They acknowledged my dedication and became my greatest cheerleaders.

This journey has helped me to experience love in it's true sense, whether it's from my lovely customers or my sweet family. Their appreciation and kindness helps me stay afloat. I am sure with such support, no mountain would be too high for me!" - Anwesha Mohanty
