The Baker's Craft: A Century of Tradition
Peek into our Connaught Place kitchen and see how our century-old recipes come to life, from hand-piped icing to rum-soaked perfection.
Watch the artistry unfold as we decorate our heart-shaped cookies. Each one is hand-iced with intricate floral designs, polka dots, and delicate patterns, making every cookie unique.
Life is better with a splash of rum. Here, we are hand-decorating our rum-flavoured pastries, carefully piping the lettering and floral details onto the rich chocolate glaze.
About The Baker's Craft
Every cookie and pastry you see here is finished by hand, not by a machine. We spend hours piping intricate patterns on our heart cookies or hand-lettering our rum-soaked pastries because that human touch is exactly what makes the flavour hit different. When you order, you aren't just getting a box of sweets, but a piece of that steady, slow-cooked patience we have perfected over generations in Connaught Place.
Our kitchen has been running in the same spot for over 100 years, and while techniques have evolved, the philosophy remains the same: keep it simple, keep it honest.
The Art of the Detail
Whether it is the delicate marzipan fruits or the specific piping on our festive cookies, everything is done by our team. We don't believe in shortcuts. For our rum-soaked treats, the fruit is prepared well in advance to ensure the flavour is just right. When you look at our heart cookies, you will notice every line of icing is unique because a person, not an automated nozzle, applied it.
Why Our Process Matters
- Freshness First: We bake in batches throughout the day. If you catch the smell of fresh bread or cookies near our CP store, that is exactly why.
- Traditional Methods: We still use old-school techniques for things like our French Hearts and classic shortbreads. The caramelization on our palmiers takes patience, and we refuse to rush it.
- Quality Ingredients: We rely on quality butter, fresh fruit, and real chocolate. You can taste the difference when a cookie has real butter instead of alternatives.
