Our story: a home bakery in North Nazimabad

Before Sugar bréak, Maryam and her sister-in-law ran a home bakery called MHDelight. It closed for good in 2022, when the kids were small and the days were full, and the oven went cold for four years.

Then Maryam met Naqiyah at the masjid in their mohalla, during Shehrullah. They got talking about baking, and in 2026 the two of them started a new bakery together: Sugar bréak. Maryam runs the kitchen: she sources, weighs, and bakes everything herself. Naqiyah handles marketing and delivery. The kitchen is in North Nazimabad. Every box is small-batch and made to order, best within three days of leaving the oven, because there is nothing in there keeping it on a shelf.

Where it started

Maryam has always cooked for people. If you came over, she made something, and baking grew out of that, a hobby first. Friends and family kept telling her to sell what she baked, so she and her sister-in-law started MHDelight together.

From MHDelight to Sugar bréak

MHDelight closed for good in 2022. Sugar bréak is a separate bakery that Maryam and Naqiyah started together in 2026. What carried over is Maryam herself, and the way she bakes.

Why Sugar bréak

The name was Naqiyah's idea. She's closer to the Gen-Z crowd, and she studied digital marketing, so she knew what would land with them. Maryam brings the recipes and Naqiyah brings the brand. It's a good pairing.

The two-day bulk order

Bulk orders normally need a week's notice. Our very first one came in with far less, and at first it looked close to impossible. We said Bismillah, split the work between us and delivered it in 2 working days. It turned out great, and it showed us how well we work as a team. We still ask for a week, though.
