Gourmet Cheesecakes and Handcrafted Tarts
I blend European techniques with the energy of Bengaluru to create individual desserts that are as beautiful as they are indulgent.
Decisions, decisions. An overhead shot of my cheesecake selection, including Hazelnut Praline, Cherry, and Caramel cheesecakes, inviting you to pick your favorite.
Watch as I put the finishing touches on my Hazelnut Praline Chocolate Cheesecake, piping an intricate web of chocolate ganache over the top.

About Gourmet Cheesecakes, Tarts & Individual Desserts
I do not use shortcuts like vegetable fats or gelatin-heavy stabilizers in my cheesecakes. Instead, I rely on high-fat European butter and couverture chocolate to achieve that authentic, smooth texture that does not just sit heavy on your stomach.
Whether you are looking for a quick personal treat or a box of pastries to brighten someone’s day, these desserts are built on the same foundations as my celebration cakes. When I make a cheesecake, I focus on the balance between the tang of high-quality cream cheese and the richness of the base. For my Lotus Biscoff or Hazelnut Praline variations, I ensure the crust maintains its crunch against the creamy filling—a simple detail, but one that makes a world of difference.
My tarts are where I really get to play with contrast. Take the Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Caramel tart; the shell needs to be crisp enough to hold the filling without turning soggy, and the ganache must be silky. I use tempered chocolate shards and torched Italian meringue for my Key Lime version to add texture.
Because I source fresh, seasonal fruit—like the Alphonso mangoes I use for my seasonal tarts and cheesecakes—my menu shifts slightly throughout the year. I believe ingredients should dictate the recipe, not the other way around. If you are ordering for a small gathering or just a quiet evening at home, everything is packaged to travel safely across Bengaluru. I handle the baking, the decorating, and the final packaging in-house, so what you get is exactly what you see here.
