DIYA JOJAN, THE SUGAR THERAPY

She has made a cake that was a whopping 4 feet wide and 3 feet tall. And mind you, this was with no help at all. Meet Diya Jojan, founder of The Sugar Therapy. 25 years and 2000 cakes old, Diya always strives for quality and consistency. She bakes every single day because it makes her happy and the people around her happy as well!

In the last 3 years, Diya has had the pleasure of working on some really innovative cakes and with amazing customers (including some celebrities!), but every once in a while she encounters challenges in the form of demoralizers who try to dampen her spirits or tough clients who take her for granted because of her age but powering through these situations have only toughened her up and taught her to deal with things with a firm head on her shoulders. She cited an example where a big company decided not to pay her for an order – not the one to be bullied, Diya filed an FIR and made sure she received her payment (you go girl!).

One lesson Diya has learned over time is to never look down on any profession just because it does not look glamorous enough or isn’t appealing to you. She considers herself lucky that she is able to live her dream and adds with a twinkle in her eye, “Nothing better than doing what you love and making money doing it!”
