8 years of Cakilicious by Hina Shah
What a journey it has been!
From the day I started to where I am today,
I seen so much growth — not just in my cakes and skillsets, but also in my clientele, my confidence, and the amazing people I have met along the way. Through Cakilicious, I have built wonderful connections, friendships, and a support system I will always be grateful for.
My social media following may have grown at a snail’s pace 😅… but my loyal clients have always kept me busy, motivated, and going strong.
These 8 years have had their highs & lows. Some years were incredibly busy and rewarding, while lately things have been much slower — with the economy affecting everyone and everything becoming more expensive: ingredients, gas, electricity… while customers naturally look for cheaper options.
There were moments when I genuinely questioned everything. I even thought about going back to work part-time, and at one point, I considered closing down completely.
But something inside me simply wouldn’t let me give up.
I am my daddy’s daughter — the daughter of a man who believed in perseverance till the very end. And that strength keeps reminding me to keep going, keep trying, and keep believing.
Because every business — whether small or big — goes through difficult seasons. What matters is finding the strength to rise again and carry on.
And I m so glad I listened to my heart. Yes, times are still challenging, but i am continuing to work hard, learn more, push myself, and create with love.
To my regular clients who have trusted me all these years… THANK YOU!
To my new clients… THANK YOU!
To everyone who recommends me, supports me quietly, shares my work, motivates me, & encourages me to do better every day… THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
And finally, the biggest thank you goes to my husband and my family — my biggest supporters, my cheerleaders, and the people who understand the sacrifices behind this business and my sometimes anti-social life 😅. THANK YOU for standing by me always.
Here’s to many more sweet years ahead 🎂💕
