Awards, Competitions, and Cake Portfolio

Winning the 2024 Modelling Award or placing in the 'Once Upon a Sugar Dream' competition isn't just about the trophy; it’s proof that those hundreds of hours of sculpting—the kind that gives you real hand cramps—actually work. I treat every competition piece as a lab to test new techniques, like how to make a mermaid figurine look like it's floating underwater or how to engineer a 3D Bharatanatyam stage. When you order from me, I bring that same experimental, 'let’s-try-it' energy to your cake, whether it's a simple celebration or a massive, complex storybook creation.

My portfolio isn't just a gallery of past orders; it’s a living record of the styles I love to return to. Whether I am crafting a custom storybook cake that captures a specific family memory, creating a traditional Seemantham piece with miniature edible food platters, or experimenting with elegant floral buttercream, my goal is always the same: turning your narrative into something you can eat.

Why I Compete

I participate in competitions like the Indian Cake Awards and Cakeology Bengaluru because they force me to step outside my comfort zone. When I decided to reimagine Rapunzel as a mermaid for a modelling challenge, I wasn't just making a cake—I was learning how to balance fondant structures and paint details that look natural from every angle. This constant testing makes me a better baker for my clients. If I can figure out how to keep a 3D figurine upright on a dance stage, I can certainly handle the structural challenges of your birthday or wedding cake.

What You Can Expect

What you see in my gallery is the result of a two-person team. My sister Nivedita and I do everything from our Malleswaram studio. We don't have a massive factory line; we have a small kitchen and a lot of patience for detail. If you want something, we can probably make it, but we need time. Because every figurine is handmade and every design is sketched out, I usually require at least a week’s lead time to ensure everything is perfect. If you have a wild idea—a cake that tells two stories at once or a sculpture of your favourite work desk—reach out. I love a good challenge.
