Handcrafted Cakes & Desserts by The BakeLair
From vintage-piped celebration cakes to indulgent dessert tubs and healthy bakes, here is a slice of what I am creating in my Mumbai kitchen.
This vintage-style "Bride to be" cake is one of my absolute favorites to make. It features delicate buttercream piping, tiny heart details, and a beautiful satin ribbon, paired with matching floral cupcakes for a complete celebration set.
A look inside my most popular cookies. You can see the gooey, melted center of the classic chocochip, the rich Nutella filling, and even a healthier option made with jowar, oats, and jaggery.
Watch how I assemble my bestselling Biscoff Tres Leches dessert tubs. Each tub has a soft vanilla sponge soaked in a three-milk mixture, layered with whipped cream and a generous topping of Biscoff spread.
I love bringing your hobbies to life with custom cupcakes. This set was for a couple who loves biking and swimming, featuring fondant details like a BMW logo, a biker's jacket, and a swimmer in the water.
A classic heart-shaped cake, perfect for anniversaries or just to show someone you care. I hand-piped each deep red rose and the delicate basketweave texture using buttercream for an elegant finish.
Healthy can be delicious too. This is a gluten-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free chocolate cake I made using almond and ragi flour, sweetened with dates, and topped with a rich ganache, fresh blueberries, and hazelnuts.
My bento cakes are perfect for smaller, more intimate celebrations. This one features cute balloon numbers for a 33rd birthday, all piped with precision on a smooth, minimalist cake.
This is me, Khadija, with a freshly finished cake, ready to be sent out. I'm so happy I get to do what I love every day and share it with all of you.
About Featured
Whether you want a vintage-style cake for an intimate birthday or a box of gluten-free, sugar-free brownies, I bake everything to order right here in Mumbai. Most of my treats, including the popular mini bento cakes and dessert tubs, can be customized to your dietary needs like gluten or sugar-free options—just let me know what you need when you reach out.
I call my kitchen The BakeLair because it is where I get to experiment with sugar, flour, and a whole lot of love. This collection is a mix of my current obsessions: intricate Lambeth piping, minimalist Korean-style bento cakes, and those comfort treats like gooey Nutella-filled cookies.
If you are looking for a birthday centerpiece, my vintage-style cakes are a go-to, but I know not every craving calls for a full cake. That is why I have my dessert tubs and cupcakes—perfect for gifting or just keeping in the fridge for a midnight snack.
One thing I am particularly proud of is my ability to adapt for dietary needs. If you need a birthday cake that is gluten-free, sugar-free, or dairy-free, I use alternatives like ragi, almond flour, and dates to make sure nobody misses out on the celebration. Whether you are ordering a bulk hamper for corporate gifting or just a single tub of Biscoff Tres Leches, everything is freshly baked in my home kitchen.
