A cake made for one of my favorite people 😊❤

is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and even when I met him for the first time, we spoke like we were buddies since years 😄

So when asked me to make a cake for his birthday, I just knew I that I had to ❤

Rahul is a prolific artist and I tried to use those elements in the design.

The figurine itself has been made with my very own modeling paste and it survived the test of the long journey 💪🏼 from Thane to Andheri 😅

The cake has been given texture to look like magical Angel wings because... Well just because. Everyone loves Angels 😄

The cake inside was a chocolate cake with coffee infusion.

One of my favorite cakes in the recent times ❤

Just a quick announcement guys. April first week will be the last week that I will be finishing my current cake orders.

I will not be accepting cake orders after this time. I will only be focusing on my cake art workshops with full intensity.

The last 8 years have been absolutely wonderful but there comes a time when you must move on and this is that time for me. I can no longer make individual cake and focus on all the things I want to do in the days to come. This is why I came to this very difficult decision. However having made that and putting it out there, I feel utmost peace.

I have heartfelt gratitude for my dear clients who have given me everything that I have ever wanted ❤

What can be a better way to begin the new year?

We bring you the Lord of the Rings Cake Collaboration. I was mesmerized by both the movies and the books and have been wanting to make a cake centered around this theme for a while.

My inspiration was Frodo Baggins, one of the most unassuming lead characters of the book. I hoped to convey through this piece a little bit of what Elijah Wood so brilliantly portrayed in the movie. His feelings his emotions and his internal struggles, the burden of the ring only his to carry... I still hope that I have done justice.

I made and re-made this piece three times. It is hard to do that. Break your piece and start over again when you are near completion. This is something I have carried forward from my dental college education. I am forever thankful to my professors for imbibing that quality in me.

Please do head on over to the page, to check out the brilliant work by all artists.
❤

The gorgeousness that is this cake, I just can't wrap my head around it!

Made for a dear friend's inlaws' 45th Anniversary. The cake is a colored chocolate ganache cake, inside layers of succulent eggless sponge with homemade pineapple compote and pineapple chunks.

A dream came true this year for me. I wanted to participate in Cake International in 2020 and the hopes had almost dashed when Corona wreaked havoc across the globe.

But where there's a will there's a way, and I got to participate in CI online competition!

I participated in the Decorative Exhibit - Bust cake category. I got disqualified because I failed to send a picture of the cut cake. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Lesson learned: Read the rules very carefully when participating in a competition!

And yet I love this old man a lot. He taught me more than anything the part that anatomy and gravity play on a human's facial features.

The inspiration I took was from one of the last head hunting tribes in India the Konyak Tribe. I wanted to showcase a lesser known people of India through my work on a global platform.

The image of my inspiration has been attached along with the photos.

It was extremely difficult working on this piece considering the weather in Mumbai around September when I made it. The jewelry was the hardest to make.

But what really made me sweat were the fine grey hair you see on his face. They kept melting in my hands, on the mat and the seemingly innocuous little strands made me almost pull out my own hair 🤣

In the end though, I am really proud of my creation. Winner or not, I created a bloody good piece 😁

Finally jumped on the bandwagon and created my first pinata cake 😄

Geometric heart shaped Pinata cake for my mom, uncle and aunt who all celebrated their birthdays in October, hence Octoberiites 😊

Chocolate and Swiss meringue buttercream cake inside 🥰🥰

I spent the better part of November and December every year hunting for the perfect diary for the new year.

Here's what I usually got.

A corporate diary that didn't have enough space to write about my cake orders in details on Saturday and Sunday.

A diary which didn't have any way to easily keep track of my incomes, expenses, clients list. And this I realised when a business coach asked me how many clients base do you have, how many old clients and how many new clients do you get per month, I didn't have an answer. And he said to me, how will you know where you want to go if you don't even know where you are!

Needless to say, I was stumped.

The second type of diary was a purely personal kind of diary. Small place for just writing everyday to-do list, habit trackers, grocery shopping lists and so on.

The corporate diaries were somewhat efficient, but dull and boring ( And that's one thing a creative cake artist just doesn't vibe with)

The personal diaries were cute and quirky but soooo not efficient.

And that's when it struck me to create something new. Something that would make life easy for all home bakers. God knows how tough it is already with home and business. It's like walking on a tightrope trying to balance your life.

But with this planner your life will be so sorted! You can jot down your orders upto 5 orders on a single day! And there's a task list next to each day where you can write down your daily things to do!

There are cake order sheets including questions like allergies, and specific requirements and a cute as a button space for sketching your beautiful works of art!

And the one really good thing about this planner? Is that you can easily integrate your work and personal planning in the same space. No more juggling.

But most importantly... It is absolutely beautiful and cute!

The planner is priced at ₹2300/-

But we are doing a pre-booking till 15th November. The pre-booking price is ₹1950/-

A small investment to get your whole year organised.

This one is turning out to be a very popular design with my clients 😁

Not to mention I absolutely adore creating cakes of this type. Beautiful. Elegant. Classy.

And in eye pleasing shades 😍😍

Cake inside was a pure chocolate truffle cake. Client loved the taste and the look of this cake.
