Hello! This is Tanya Mehra owner of your very own playdough, a baker and a girl following her unexpected dreams. I’ve been baking since I was a kid I always get fascinated by seeing baking videos on YouTube and I used to try out the recipes and to be honest most of them didn’t turn out well at the first but that’s what kept me going because practice even makes a baker perfect. You know when you see that rise of cakes and cookies in the oven it will give you a satisfying feeling and I loved that; it really excites me.
I am a BBA graduate and if you would’ve asked me a year ago about my future plans, I would’ve just said MBA because baking and Playdough was not planned at all. I used to bake just for my family and friends and somewhere out of the blue people in my housing society went crazy over my cookies and cakes and started calling me up to place orders and I was like “why not?”.
This is a great opportunity and why to even let this go. So that’s how I got my first order of a close friend and then I was in demand in my society. After that only I started my page Playdough which was a platform for my clients to order. Also, this lockdown due to corona is a blessing in disguise for me I have started making almost every kind of cuisine and tried all new recipes.
So yeah, it’s been a year now since I have started Playdough and I could not picture myself going to a baking school but here
I am on a Journey to turn my passion into a full-fledged business.
So yeah, it’s been a year now since I have started Playdough and I could not picture myself going to a baking school but here I am on a Journey to turn my passion into a full-fledged business.
My aim is to provide good quality at best price to my clients, and I bake with the same love and passion as I do for my family because the secret ingredient is always love. Each client at Playdough is like my family and their happiness is my happiness. So, the idea behind Playdough for me is more about the taste than the looks and the aim was not only to earn profit. I avoid using artificial flavours and colourings while giving people exactly what they want. Everything is 100% customisable according to what people need and I like
keeping my followers engaged with my everyday stories of different recipes. I realised it’s my passion when I felt the happiness, I get from giving people exactly what they need and I can literally do it all day and it’s something I will continue to do always. My vision is long term, and I try to get better and better every day. My dream is to have a small bakery that’ll make beautiful and the world’s tastiest cookies or cakes.
