I keep the fondant minimal so you get that soft, fresh buttercream taste, while using clever piping and sculpting to make items like coffee cups or panipuri plates look surprisingly real. When you request a cake that looks like a bowl of salad or a sandwich, my goal is not just to make it look like a prop. It needs to taste like a premium dessert. I avoid the heavy, rubbery layer of fondant that usually comes with highly sculpted cakes. Instead, I rely on ganache, buttercream, and hand-painted details to get those textures right. Whether it is the froth on a coffee cup or the crisp look of a french fry, it is all edible art. If you have a specific food item you want me to recreate, share the details with me. I treat each project as a collaborative story. If it is a 90th birthday celebration featuring a favorite meal, or a coffee lover's treat, I take the time to sculpt it precisely. Based in Sushant Lok, I deliver across Gurgaon, ensuring these cakes reach you fresh and ready to surprise your guests. ## About Cake Studio by Menakshi I'm Menakshi.
