A milestone that far exceeded our expectations for this year, Alhamdulillah katheera 🥺
Our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of this journey, to our customers for their trust and unwavering support throughout these years, and to all who have contributed in ways both seen and unseen.
This recognition is as much yours as it is ours 💛
Nishat Anjum, the founder of Dessert Galore, doesn’t describe her journey in milestones or revenue figures. Instead, she takes us back to her childhood: watching her mother, aunt and sister baking cakes and cookies, standing just outside the kitchen, waiting for her turn that never quite came. That longing stayed with her until her teenage years, when she baked brownies for the first time. What followed was not just a hobby, but a quiet, enduring devotion.
“I fell in love with baking and feeding people,” she tells me. “Seeing someone enjoy what I made, that gratification changed everything.”
A business that grew from feeling
Dessert Galore began as a teenager’s dream of having something of her own. With limited funds and no access to a professional setup, a cloud kitchen was not a strategic choice so much as the only possible one. Nishat started small, using savings from Eid money, unsure if she would even sell enough to justify her first batch of packaging.
What she didn’t anticipate was how challenging it would be to introduce her vision to Chattogram’s food scene. Thick, chunky cookies inspired by New York’s Levain Bakery and deeply fudgy brownies were not immediately embraced.
“People weren’t used to what a perfect brownie should be,” she says. “Reintroducing those ideas was tough, and costly.”
Still, she persisted, guided by her eldest sister’s advice to offer something unique, even if it came at a price.
