Custom Themed Cakes for Every Story
I don't just bake cakes; I turn your inside jokes, quirks, and favourite things into sugar-art. Here are some of the stories I’ve captured in fondant.
A closer look at the details on my doctor-themed cake. You can see the tiny blister pack of pills, the syringe, and the blood pressure cuff, all handcrafted from fondant to celebrate the healing profession.
An overhead view of the doctor-themed cake, showing the stethoscope resting on the fondant scrubs. I made sure every element was clean and precise to honor the dedication of healthcare workers.
A detailed close-up of the Chanel-themed makeup cake. I spent hours sculpting the tiny lipstick, perfume bottle, and makeup brushes to make them look as realistic as possible, all completely edible.
This angle of the makeup cake shows the "Born2Shop" message on the board. It's these little personal touches that make a custom cake extra special for the person celebrating.
Here you can see the edible eyeshadow palette with its tiny applicators and the Chanel foundation pot. I use different textures and edible paints to create depth and realism in my fondant work.
The level of detail goes down to the logos on each item. This close-up shows the handcrafted Chanel logos on the lip gloss and pencils, a key part of making a branded cake look authentic.
From a plain white cake to a galaxy! This video shows how I use an airbrush to create a deep space effect before adding the hand-sculpted astronaut, planets, and satellite for a first birthday cake that was out of this world.
I had so much fun creating this winter wonderland cake. The video shows the process of making an army of tiny, adorable penguins and then assembling them on the snowy, two-tiered cake with a little igloo on top.
About Custom Themed Cakes
When I build a theme cake, I do not use molds. Every figurine, from the stethoscope on a doctor’s cake to the tiny lipstick in a makeup kit, is hand-sculpted by me. This takes time, so I usually need 3 to 4 days of notice, but it means you get a cake that is uniquely yours, not a copy-paste design.
People often ask if I use cutters to speed things up, and my answer is always no. Hand-sculpting is where the personality comes in. Whether you want a medical-themed cake with realistic pill strips and scrubs, or a fashion-focused design with detailed makeup brushes and perfume bottles, I build it from scratch using fondant and edible paints.
Because I handle everything from structural engineering to painting the fine details, I need a bit of lead time. If you have an idea, share the story first. Tell me what makes the person special—is it their profession, a hidden hobby, or an inside joke? Once I have the brief, I start planning the figurine shapes.
Working with fondant in Mumbai’s humidity is a task on its own. I use specific techniques and additives like Tylose to ensure the figures hold their shape and do not turn into a puddle, so you get clean lines and sharp edges on your celebration day. If you’re planning a birthday or a milestone, let’s make it something that tastes as good as it looks, with sponge bases that are actually moist and fresh.
