I keep my buttercream at a specific consistency to get those sharp lines on your meme cakes or smooth gradients on floral designs. If you are ever curious how I get the message right in my hidden-message cakes, it is all about layering the frosting just right so the tab lifts without pulling the cake sponge apart. I often say that baking is the most therapeutic thing I do. When I am not busy with orders, I am usually testing new designs—experimenting with fondant roses or trying to perfect a new gradient effect. My process for custom bento cakes is deeply personal. Whether you want a minimalist text design or a complex 3D character, I treat every order as a piece of your story. You might see me spending extra time sketching out angel wings or carefully piping tiny coffee beans on a mocha cake. It takes patience to get the details right, especially when working with fondant characters or recreating popular internet memes on such a small 4-inch canvas. Everything you see here is made right here in Bengaluru. I avoid pre-made decorations whenever I can, preferring to hand-pipe or hand-sculpt elements like the evil eye charms or floral rosettes you see in my videos. This dedication to the craft ensures that what you receive is not just a standard dessert, but something made specifically for your celebration. Remember, my cakes always taste best at room temperature, so let them sit out for a bit before you dig in. ## About Sihi Hi, I am Sihi! I believe baking is just another way to tell a story, and I love spending my days in my Malleshwaram kitchen turning your inside jokes and favorite memories into tiny, edible art. When I am not piping buttercream, I am probably dreaming up the next design to challenge myself.
