About this collection
The star of my Christmas collection is definitely the year-aged plum cake. I start soaking the premium dried fruits and nuts in rum exactly a year in advance, which gives the cake a depth of flavour you simply cannot rush. When you slice into it, you are tasting that patience and tradition, not just a recipe.
My approach to Christmas treats is rooted in the same philosophy I use for all my pâtisserie—precision, high-quality ingredients, and a touch of nostalgia.
Traditional German Stollen
This is a festive staple I am particularly proud of. It is a dense, rich bread filled with dried fruits, nuts, and a signature marzipan center. After baking, I brush it with melted butter and dust it with powdered sugar to lock in that signature holiday look and keep it moist. It is the perfect accompaniment to tea or coffee on a chilly Bangalore morning.
Festive Gift Hampers
If you are looking for corporate gifts or something special for your family, I curate custom Christmas hampers. These boxes are designed to be a complete festive experience, featuring our Yuletide Truffle Collection—hand-painted chocolates with flavours like plum rum and cranberry—alongside loaf cakes, madeleines, and jams. I spend a lot of time on the packaging design because I believe a gift should look as beautiful as it tastes.
