Behind the Scenes: How I Craft Your Custom Cakes
Ever wondered what goes into making your cake? Step into my kitchen, where I turn your ideas into edible art, one whisk at a time.
Here’s a quick look at how I make my rich chocolate truffle cake. I layer the moist chocolate sponge with my house-special ganache and then create a beautiful piped pattern on top for that classic, elegant finish.
Watch the making of this cute Minecraft cake. I started with a vanilla cake and dark chocolate ganache, then covered it with whipped cream in Minecraft colors and added edible 2D characters. The birthday boy loved it.
Creating a galaxy effect with a mirror glaze is one of my favorite techniques. Here, I'm pouring a custom-colored purple, blue, and white glaze over a rich chocolate cake to create an edible work of art. This glaze is made without any gelatin or agar agar.
About A Peek into My Kitchen: The Making Of
Everything you see here is made entirely by me in my Powai kitchen, from start to finish. I do not use premixes or shortcuts, which is why you will see me tempering chocolate for my signature ganache or manually painting mirror glazes. When you order a cake, you are getting something baked fresh specifically for your occasion, not something pulled off a freezer shelf.
My kitchen is where the hustle happens. Whether I am piping a classic chocolate truffle cake or sculpting fondant figurines for a themed birthday, the process is always hands-on.
My Craftsmanship
- Mirror Glaze: My galaxy-themed cakes get that signature shine without using gelatin or agar-agar. It is a temperamental process, but it is worth it for that perfect, glass-like finish.
- Character Cakes: From Minecraft to superhero themes, I use a mix of edible prints and hand-sculpted fondant. I focus on getting the colors and details exactly right so your kid sees their favorite character come to life.
- Fresh Ganache: I prefer fresh ganache over heavy artificial coatings for my drip cakes. It takes more time to get the consistency right, but it makes the cake taste like an actual dessert rather than just sugar.
Why it Matters
