about me
My Journey
From a homemaker with a dream to an award-winning cake artist and entrepreneur — I am Sonal Garg, the heart behind Sweetretreat by Sonal and The Wafflish.
Beginning
My baking journey began in 2017 in my home kitchen in Agra, driven by passion, curiosity, and a love for creating edible art. What started as a simple hobby quickly turned into a thriving venture, fueled by dedication and the overwhelming support of those who believed in my craft.
Specialization
Today, I specialize in handcrafted designer cakes, customized desserts, and gourmet waffles that blend creativity with flavor.
Inspiration
Through the years, I’ve not only built a brand but also a legacy of inspiration as a baking instructor—especially for women who wish to turn their passion into purpose.
