The cake business named Sofia Cookies was taken from her son, Sofia, who is currently still in junior high school. Cookies produced by Sofia Cookies, various types, ranging from nastar, syringe, cat tongue, kastengel, cheese sago, snow princess and so on. Nearly 30 types of pastries were sold from house to house, which he considered still the old way. After running her business for 4 years, Mrs. Diah felt overwhelmed to fulfill her orders, so several of her neighbors were empowered to help. Starting from 2 employees, until now Ms. Diah already has 50 employees.

Precisely in 2017, Pak Beni joined as a member of the KSP Sahabat Mitra Sejati and obtained a working capital loan that was used to expand the shop in his house, and increase work space for making cakes. “Alhamdulillah, the business we are running is growing bigger, the need for cake storage and cake-making rooms must be expanded. We are interested in joining as members of the KSP Sahabat Mitra Sejati because of their good service and suitable as a financing institution to increase our working capital, “said Mr. Beni.
