The thrill and satisfaction of starting something of your own is undeniably the best feeling in this entire world. 

Just imagine, waking up with the hope of doing something that you love every single day, having a purpose that runs in your veins day-in and day-out, and most importantly seeing a part of you manifesting into reality. Doesn't it feel like a dream come true?

Life is short, so it's better to live your story than anyone else’s… right? 

Now, you must be wondering why I am getting all sentimental about entrepreneurship… Well! The woman I am going to talk about today, against all odds, has made something she was extremely passionate about, come into reality. 

Today’s article is about a woman who after spending most of her working life in the corporate sector, ventured out to start something of her own. Something that gave her a purpose so strong that she could ditch a hefty salary and comfortable surroundings and rather chose to stand on her feet throughout the day, baking!

Today's story is about Nisha, the owner of Sweet Cravin’. 

Nisha is a home baker who left her corporate environment after twenty years of service and has been running her baking business since then. After the completion of her baking school that she attended to post her corporate job, she progressed towards starting her own baking service. 

The real motivation she said, were the people who always appreciated her baking skills and the deeply hidden passion she had in her heart for baking. Nisha finally ventured into the world of baking and since then her fearless passion and people’s appreciation has only grown and has helped the business flourish. 

The philosophy behind the bakes of Nisha, roots from the journey of herself with food. Being a person who has had a tough time catering to several food allergies, she aspires and wills to bake treats that are simple yet flavourful. Bakery items that are made of fresh ingredients, minimal colours, and zero fondants, is what Nisha offers to her customers. She aspires to bake and create treats, which are also healthy and cater to those wanting a healthier lifestyle. Heavenly and healthy are what her bakes are. 

Moreover, Nisha has been taking bakery classes for people who wish to learn and try their hands-on baking delectable pastries, bread, and several enticing dips and crispies. In further conversation with her, she fascinatingly talked about how she would like to take up teaching in future and would like to thrive in the arena of helping people learn the amazing art of baking. 

Based in South Bangalore, Sweet Cravin’ has made quite a delightful reputation for itself in a couple of years. As Nisha doesn't have much of a social media presence her bakery items are mostly marketed with word of mouth. The loyalty of customers that her bakes and treats have made is definitely to be trusted on the authenticity and flavour of Sweet Cravin’.

Nisha is an inspiration to many. Her courage and perseverance led her on a journey where every day has a different meaning for her. 

I vividly remember her saying that competition or sales do not matter to her as much as baking good quality treats does. In fact, there is no place for competition in her life as long as she is happy baking and treating her customers with simple yet lip-smacking desserts. 

So, if you are looking for an enticing, yet subtle dessert for a special occasion, a once in a week cheat meal, or a regular treat, then Nisha’s Sweet Cravin’ is the place to go.

“Nisha's cooking class was ideal for a novice like me. I also noticed that it’s equally useful for people with baking experience. Her hands on approach and practical tips were very helpful. I learnt about bread making, fusion desserts and got introduced to gluten free baking. I started enjoying baking after attending her class.”

“It's hard to tell what's more wonderful,Nisha as a person or her mouth watering cakes and cupcakes. Sometime it gets so difficult to choose a flavour because from the amazing orange vanilla to blueberry and rasberry or even the most delicious strawberry chocolate we are spoilt for choices. Her cakes are perfectly light with the right hint of sweetness and never fails to be the centre of all our celebration. It’s like happiness and Nisha's creation are synonymous .Hoping we always have more reasons to celebrate”
