Shaahidha claims to have learned many tips and tricks from Ikhleelaa, stating that she values the experience she received in such a short time, with a seasoned baker like her. Another person who helped Shaahidha was Ameemath. According to Shaahidha, Ameemath played a huge role in honing her skills. The scenic presentations on her cakes are a product of Ameemath’s support and guidance and Shaahidha cannot express her gratitude more.

Considering the small population of the island (roughly 1800), the business is flourishing well. Shaahidha believes that it is the praise and compliments she receive from clients that boosts her confidence and urges her to move forward in the field. Her family has always had her back and she loved the support she receives from them, especially her mother.
Shaahidha’s vision is to reach out to talented creatives in the atoll waiting for a mentor, so she can pass her knowledge and help them build their own businesses and legacies.
