Whether I am at the School for European Pastry refining a technique or stress-testing a new Basque cheesecake recipe in my Vashi kitchen, I do not stop until the texture is exactly right. It is that mix of culinary science and soul that makes our bakes what they are. I started Moi Doughssier as a small home-kitchen operation, just filling pre-orders because I wanted to bring better, cleaner desserts to Navi Mumbai. Back then, it was just me, a lot of late nights, and a serious obsession with getting the flavour profiles just right. That journey from my home to our current cafe in Vashi has been wild, but it has kept me grounded in the basics: real ingredients and no shortcuts. My training at the School for European Pastry really shifted how I approach baking. It is not just about following a recipe, but understanding the chemistry behind the crust. When you see our sourdough or those glossy entremets, you are seeing the result of hours of temperature control and specific fermentation times. I am also big on the 'eggless' challenge. Many people think eggless means compromising on the texture, but my entire goal is to prove that wrong. It takes more trial and error to get that velvety crumb without eggs, but the result is worth it. Whether I am hand-sculpting a theme for a kid's birthday cake or spending the day managing the cafe's bread kitchen, everything is made by hand. It is not mass-produced, it is crafted. ## About Moi Doughssier I am Nafisa, and Moi Doughssier is my obsession. I started this in my home kitchen just to bring better bakes to Navi Mumbai, and seeing that turn into our cozy Vashi cafe still feels surreal. I am just a baker who loves playing with flavours and making sure every single treat has a bit of soul.
