Maharashtrian Theme Cakes for Every Celebration
From traditional ceremonies like Kelvan to cultural festivals, let's bake your stories and traditions into something delicious.
Watch me create this special Kelvan cake from start to finish. I use edible prints for the couple's caricature and the traditional banana leaf background, adding the final touches by hand.
I was so honored to make this cake for the 4444th show of the legendary Marathi play 'Sahi Re Sahi', starring Bharat Jadhav. This video shows the making of the two-tier golden cake, which was delivered to the theatre in Borivali.
A cake to celebrate Shiv Jayanti. This design features a figure of young Shivaji Maharaj, the Raigad fort, and a powerful Marathi quote, honoring the great Maratha king.
A square cake for a 'Halfway to One' celebration with a Shiv Jayanti theme. It's a wonderful way to introduce little ones to our heritage.

A cake to celebrate Gudhi Padwa, the Maharashtrian New Year. It features a fondant Gudhi, along with other traditional elements, to welcome the new year with sweetness.
Mumbaikar's true love, Vada Pav! This video shows how I assemble this super fun cake, from placing the newspaper print to adding the fondant vada, pav, and spicy green chillies.
About this collection
My Kelvan cakes use edible prints to capture your traditional ceremony’s decor, while my Vada Pav designs bring a fun, authentic Mumbai street-food twist to your birthday table. I take your specific cultural elements—be it the colors of Gudhi Padwa or symbols of Shiv Jayanti—and turn them into edible art that respects the tradition while adding a playful touch.
Living in Borivali, I see how much our festivals and milestones mean to us. A cake shouldn't just be dessert; it should be a part of the celebration. I don't believe in 'one-size-fits-all' designs. Whether you are planning a traditional Kelvan, an Aashadhi Ekadashi gathering, or a Shiv Jayanti birthday, I work with you to ensure the cake reflects the importance of the moment.
I pay close attention to the small details that matter—like using edible prints to recreate banana leaf backgrounds for traditional plates or crafting silhouettes that tell your family story. If you have an idea that is a bit 'hatke', like a cake shaped like a Vada Pav or a three-tier design for a milestone birthday, I am ready to experiment.
My focus is on creating a cake that your guests will talk about. I offer various sponge options, including eggless varieties, and ensure the design aligns with your event theme. I primarily serve Borivali, Kandivali, and surrounding areas, delivering fresh, custom creations that make our cultural moments even sweeter. Let’s discuss your vision and make it happen.
Cake Story
I’m Manali, and my kitchen in Borivali is where I bring our Marathi traditions to life through cakes. I don't believe in boring, store-bought designs; I believe in telling your story, one layer at a time, whether it's a traditional ceremony or a wild birthday theme.
