About this collection
When you choose a gluten-free or sugar-free bake, it is important to know that the texture will be different from a standard maida sponge. Because I use nutrient-dense flours like jowar and ragi, or binding agents like date paste, these cakes are naturally denser and more rustic. I always recommend placing your orders at least a couple of days in advance so I can source the freshest ingredients and ensure the batter is perfectly balanced.
I started baking because I wanted treats that were actually good for my daughter and her friends. My kitchen is a 'cake lab' where maida and refined white sugar never enter the door.
Why My Ingredients Matter
My cakes are built on integrity. For my gluten-free options, I rely on ancient grains like jowar (sorghum) and ragi (finger millet). These provide an earthy, wholesome foundation that pairs beautifully with natural sweeteners like jaggery and date paste.
- Vegan Bakes: I swap dairy and eggs for almond milk, flax eggs, and virgin coconut oil. You get the same rich, moist crumb without any animal products.
- Sugar-Free Options: My sugar-free cakes are sweetened exclusively with date paste or pure fruit purees. This is perfect for toddlers, parents managing blood sugar, or anyone just looking to avoid the post-cake energy crash.
The 'Naked' Difference
You will notice my cakes don't have heavy, artificial frostings. I call them 'naked' because I want the quality of the cake—the crumb, the fruit chunks, the nuts—to speak for itself. Whether it is an apple-carrot cake loaded with spices or a rich chocolate cake made with couverture cocoa, the flavour comes from real food, not additives. Because everything is baked to order in my home kitchen in Mumbai, you get freshness you can actually taste. Please keep in mind that while I take every precaution, I do work with wheat in the same kitchen, so my gluten-free bakes are best suited for those with sensitivities rather than severe medical allergies.
Naked Bakes
I’m Tushima. My kitchen is my 'cake lab' where I bake purely from love, mostly for my daughter's school and birthday celebrations. I believe cake should be a treat you don't have to feel guilty about, so I keep things simple, real, and completely free of refined ingredients.
