About Gourmet & Signature Cakes
Why I Bake Cakes the Way I Do
I’m Meraaj and honestly, I left my old job so I could bake the kind of cakes I always wanted to eat - not overloaded with cream, just honest flavours. My thing is simple: more cake, less cream, and always top-notch ingredients. I don’t do shortcuts. Every cake comes straight from my kitchen and is made with a lot of patience (and yeah, some anxiety over getting flavours just right).
What Makes My Cakes Stand Out
- My signature naked cakes are kinda my pride. They’re light, fluffy, and let the real taste show. No hiding behind thick frosting.
- I keep it elegant and natural, using things like fresh fruit, edible flowers, and herbs. Seasonal mango cake, anyone?
- Favourites include chocolate hazelnut, lemon basil, and pistachio white chocolate - all with the good stuff inside.
More Than Just Naked Cakes
- There’s plenty for every craving - from fusion like rasamalai cake to classics like opera and sacher torte.
- Minimalist cake designs but big on flavour. If you like almond rocher or a punchy dark chocolate and coffee combo, I’ve got those.
Extras & Custom Touches
- Grown-up treats? Bailey’s Irish Cream cake hits different.
- If you need eggless gourmet cakes, just say so - I can sort it out for you.
I make every cake to order, so it’s not rushed or mass-produced. If you want something special, I’ll put my heart into it.

My Story
Hi, I’m Meraaj. You won’t see me in front of the camera much, I’m more the behind-the-scenes type. Baking’s in my blood, thanks to my dadi (grandma) Shireen—she started it all, and this bakery is for her. Quitting my old job was tough, lots of second thoughts. But now, this is my happy place. My husband’s my biggest cheerleader. A simple ‘Bahut accha tha’ (It was very good) from a customer? Best feeling. Thanks for sticking around.
