🍰 SHTM Alumni Entrepreneur Highlight 🍰
Dreams become reality when passion meets determination. As part of the SHTM Alumni Entrepreneur Feature in celebration of the 30th Founding Anniversary, we proudly highlight an inspiring graduate making waves in the entrepreneurial industry. ✨
Meet Earlvienn Kristopher G. Dela Cruz, a graduate of BS Hospitality Management major in Culinary Arts and Kitchen Operations Batch 2022
Owner of "Bonheur: Happiness in Desserts"
Bonheur: Happiness in Desserts is a business dedicated to bringing joy to customers through sweet treats. The name “Bonheur,” which means happiness in English, reflects our goal of creating delightful dessert experiences. We specialize in offering our products for special occasions such as holidays and personal celebrations. By being part of these meaningful events, Bonheur believes that desserts are more than just treats; they are also experiences that bring people together and create lasting smiles.
What started as a dream during junior high school eventually grew into a dessert business dedicated to creating happiness through sweet treats and memorable experiences. Earlvienn shared that SHTM played a vital role in developing not only his culinary expertise but also his entrepreneurial mindset—equipping him with the confidence and skills to transform ideas into reality.
His advice to future entrepreneurs:
"Starting a business is not easy. You will face many challenges, and what matters most is not letting them stop you. Learn how to climb each wall you encounter because a business is a continuous cycle of growth and improvement.
Don’t be afraid to take risks or make mistakes; those are often your best opportunities to learn and discover better ways forward. At the same time, if you feel tired or begin to lose your passion, that’s completely normal. Give yourself permission to rest, breathe, and clear your mind. Take breaks when needed, but remember to come back and keep going.
Fear and doubt will always be there, but with persistence, you’ll learn how to manage them and build confidence over time.
Finally, remember that success doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of consistent effort, patience, and ongoing improvement. Trust the process, and keep moving forward toward your goals."
His journey proves that creativity, innovation, and perseverance can turn passion into purpose. 💙
