About Seasonal & Festive Baked Goods
Festive Bakes, Straight from My Kitchen
There's something about a festival that just needs a sweet touch. I get a kick out of baking up treats that make holidays extra special - whether it's the smell of a Christmas plum cake in the oven or putting together quirky Easter hampers.
What Sets My Seasonal Treats Apart
- Every bake is done in small, limited edition batches - I don't repeat the same menu all year.
- No shortcuts: I skip artificial stuff. For my Christmas plum cake, it's all real dried fruits, nuts, and spices, soaked for months.
- My festive dessert gift boxes and hampers come ready to gift - packaging is part of the fun.
- Some goodies, like the plum cake, have travelled across the globe to reach folks missing home.
Highlights by Season
- Christmas is massive for me - think rich plum cakes (yes, Christmas plum cake delivery is possible), marzipan sweets, brownies shaped like trees, and choco chunk cookies.
- Easter means pastel marzipan eggs, rocky road treats, and little egg nest brownies. Custom Easter hampers get snapped up quick.
- For Mother's Day, I go for fresh flavours like mango and floral designs. The Mother's Day bento cake with matching cupcakes usually sells out fast.
A Heads Up
Menus change with the season, and I work on pre-order only - once the batch is gone, that's it till next year. I can also do custom cakes if you want a festive theme for another celebration.

My Story
Hey, I'm Vanessa, but most folks call me Lady Bakealot. Mumbai’s baking scene is wild, but I love it. Nothing beats getting those client photos - kids smashing cakes, couples grinning on wedding day, or birthday collages. That’s my real reward, yaar. I’m all about edible memories, not just fancy looks. Like matching a cake dress to a birthday girl’s outfit! Christmas is my jam too - rum plum cakes, soaked fruits, sending warmth miles away. It’s hectic, but seeing people happy makes it worth every late night.
My Work
Cakes & Treats for Every Occasion - I bake custom birthday cakes, wedding cakes, anniversary cakes, baby shower cakes, and festive treats like Christmas rum plum cakes.
Personalised Edible Art - You tell me your theme or story, I’ll create edible art - from fondant figurine cakes to buttercream floral cakes.
Flavours & Frostings - Choose fondant or #nofondantcake. Favourites: chocolate hazelnut, butterscotch praline, and Christmas rum plum cake.
Plan Ahead for Custom Orders - Every cake is bespoke, so let’s chat early. Christmas cakes need months of prep for that perfect flavour.
