Every order is a journey from mixing fresh batter to the final piped detail, all done right here in my kitchen. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This video shows how I create a textured, painted buttercream effect.

When I use a palette knife for those floral textures, I am actually sculpting the buttercream against the Mumbai heat, which can be tricky. It is a balancing act of temperature and patience, but that is how I get those crisp, artistic edges without using any pre-made mixes or shortcuts. I believe baking is honest work. When you order a cake, you are not getting something mass-produced. You are getting a cake where I have manually separated the eggs, whipped the ganache to the perfect consistency, and cooked down fresh berries for the fruit fillings. If you choose a signature celebration cake, the foundation is a sturdy 10-inch MDF drum, ensuring your cake travels safely across the city. For my floral designs, I process every single petal for food safety before it touches the frosting. I also handle the structural engineering for tiered cakes personally. I use internal dowels and separator boards so that your two-tier cake stays upright even during a Mumbai monsoon drive. Have specific dietary needs? I am fully equipped for eggless bakes, and I can swap standard flours for whole wheat or jaggery. Whether it is a tiny bento cake for a solo treat or a large event piece, the process remains the same. I focus on the little things because those are the details you taste in every bite. ## About Jahan I am Jahan, and I started this journey with just me and my oven. Every cake I bake is a little piece of my happy place that I get to share with you. 🤍 [See all of Jahan's services](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan) ## More from Custom Celebration Cakes by Jahan - [Featured](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/custom-celebration-cakes/featured) - [Bento Cakes: Small Size, Big Joy](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/custom-celebration-cakes/bento-cakes-small-size-big-joy) - [Vintage & Coquette Cakes](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/custom-celebration-cakes/vintage-coquette-cakes) - [Artistic & Hand-Drawn Cakes](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/custom-celebration-cakes/artistic-hand-drawn-cakes) - [Fresh & Floral Designs](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/custom-celebration-cakes/fresh-floral-designs) - [Grand Celebrations: Tiered Cakes](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/custom-celebration-cakes/grand-celebrations-tiered-cakes) - [Fruit-Forward Flavors](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/custom-celebration-cakes/fruit-forward-flavors) - [For the Love of Chocolate](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/custom-celebration-cakes/for-the-love-of-chocolate) - [Holiday & Seasonal Specials](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/custom-celebration-cakes/holiday-seasonal-specials) - [A Gallery of My Bakes](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/custom-celebration-cakes/a-gallery-of-my-bakes) ## More services by Jahan - [Desserts & Baked Goods](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/desserts-baked-goods) - [Festive Gift Hampers](https://mytribe.in/delectablebyjahan/festive-gift-hampers) ## Similar work from other experts - [How Your Custom Cakes Are Made](https://mytribe.in/bakerandmom/custom-celebration-cakes/behind-the-scenes-my-baking-process) by Nidhi · Custom Celebration Cakes · Delivers across Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [A Peek Into My Baking Process](https://mytribe.in/cakestory._by_harshala/custom-celebration-cakes/my-baking-process) by Harshala · Custom Celebration Cakes · Delivers across Navi Mumbai; Pickup available from Ulwe - [My Baking Journey: Behind the Scenes of Custom Cakes](https://mytribe.in/thebakinggurl/custom-celebration-cakes/my-baking-journey) by The Baking Gurl · Custom Celebration Cakes · Delivers across Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Behind the Scenes: My Custom Cake Baking Process](https://mytribe.in/cakestorymumbai/custom-celebration-cakes/behind-the-scenes-my-baking-process) by Cake Story · Custom Celebration Cakes · Store pickup in Borivali West; Delivers within 3km of Borivali and Kandivali - [A Peek Behind My Baking Journey](https://mytribe.in/etsy.cakesy/custom-theme-cakes/my-baking-journey) by Mitali Datar · Custom Theme Cakes · Delivers across Mumbai; Pick up from home bakery in Vile Parle East - [My Baking Journey: Behind The Scenes at The Dessert Chowk](https://mytribe.in/thedessertchowk/custom-cakes/my-baking-journey) by The Dessert Chowk · Custom Cakes · Delivers across Mumbai Metropolitan Area; Available for pickup in Malad West ## Book To book Jahan, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%20Jahan!%20I%20saw%20your%20process%20videos%20and%20loved%20them.%20I%20am%20looking%20to%20get%20a%20custom%20cake%20for%20an%20upcoming%20occasion.)
