Instead, I work with whole wheat and almond sponges that need a different touch, so everything is hand-piped with dark chocolate ganache or whipped cream. It means your cake might look soft and rustic rather than polished, but the texture is genuinely moist and wholesome, just the way I love eating it myself. For me, the kitchen is where the noise of the day fades away. Whether it is a small bento cake or a multi-tier wedding creation, the process remains the same, and I think that is what makes a difference. My team and I are all about the hustle, and we keep it real. We do not use maida, we do not use eggs, and we definitely do not use fondant because I believe in textures that you can actually taste. When you see me piping those vintage frills or smoothing out a ganache drip, you are seeing the result of a fresh-to-order process. We start early, we bake with whole wheat, jowar, or almond flour, and we finish every cake the same day it goes out. Because we use natural ingredients, the sponges behave differently than standard bakery cakes. My gluten-free jowar cakes, for instance, are naturally a bit more crumbly. I could hide that with stabilizers, but I would rather be honest about the ingredients. It is a trade-off that my clients appreciate because they know exactly what is going into their body. We love playing with flavours like pistachio ganache, salted caramel, and fresh mangoes. Everything you see in the gallery, from the initial batter mix to the final floral placement, happens right here in our studio. I invite you to scroll through and see the effort, the messy moments, and the final results. If you have an idea that seems a bit wild, share it with me. I am always up for a challenge in the kitchen. ## About The Chef Patissier I’m Ritu, and my kitchen is where my day truly starts. I started this bakery because I wanted treats that were both indulgent and kind to the body, and today it is just a bunch of us women hustling to bring those ideas to life. If you see a cake on my page, know that it was baked fresh that morning, specifically for that celebration.
