Hi, I am Dr. Shaheen Akhter from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Basically, I am a physician & public health consultant. I have passed my MBBS from a government medical college of Bangladesh and completed my postgraduation from NIPSOM under BSMMU. Beside my job I have started an online based bakery for just time pass, which is now become my main passion and income source. My partner is my husband, Dr. Md. Jahidur Rashid Sumon, also a physician & consultant sonologist. I have two baby girls named Suha & Nuha.
Baking is my passion. I have started baking professionally 5 years ago. Now I am the proud owner of popular online based cake shop named Doctor’s Bake, which has more than 2 lac fans at Facebook page.
When I started, I would get inspired by cakes made by others. I found that If I needed a cake – all I had to do was – go to google images and type the theme – for example wedding cake – and that would help me design a new cake from scratch. I didn’t need to use any particular cake just watching those cakes would get my creative juices flowing and I’d create a design from scratch. Of course, inspired by all those techniques and colors I would see in the other cakes.
In baking, I would like to prefer to make fondant cake mostly. I am not a professional when it comes to baking. For me, It’s about being creative and having fun – not being perfect. For me, baking is a really therapeutic and calming thing to do, whether on my own or with friends & love ones. It always cheers me up.
It’s always a dream of mine to have my own bakery outlet somewhere special to me like Banani, Mirpur or Dhanmondi. Doctor’s Bake is the first step of that journey and I am so glad to be sharing it with you.
