The Calculator Cake

His friends wanted to celebrate Manas's birthday and his becoming a registered Chartered Accountant, so the idea was for the cake to look like a calculator. Cool na?? Please let us know what you think about it.

 Nice Na?

The Football

Most kids love to play football, but how about a football cake?? The cake itself was a simple vanilla sponge with yummy chocolate ganache layers.

It took us long tiring hours to get it looking like this:

 

The Old Monk

After tasting one of our cakes, Namita Aunty ordered us to make a rum cake for her husband’s fortieth birthday. The idea was for the cake to look like an Old Monk rum bottle. The best part about the recipe was that it was completely vegetarian (apart from the gelatin used for the fondant). And of course, we used Old Monk for the rum glaze. When we soaked some glaze onto it, this yummy, delicious fragrance filled the room… it took all our self-control to not eat it ourselves!!!

The carving and painting took quite some time, but after we saw the finished product… we thought it was all worth it in the end, what say??

Sigh! A cake is such short lived artwork!

 The Old Monk! We are so proud!

Darius's 2nd Birthday!

The Wadias had booked us for their son’s birthday cake the moment they tasted one of the cakes we had baked. Darius was turning 2 and we wanted to commemorate that. After brainstorming we decided an elevated ‘2’ with colourful candies would be just the thing he’d love!

We used Namita aunty’s convection oven to bake. Big mistake. The machine was known to cause problematic middles in the cake. ­­­­­­So the first batch came out shaky. We had to rebake for about 3 times (20 mins each). The second batch we did as the convection’s set time for cakes. Phew. 

Thankfully, both the cakes came out nice and crusty on the surface and gooey and dense on the inside!!

After the cake cooled off a bit, we joined the pieces and cut a perfect two for the top layer! The results? Voila!!

 Darius also liked it. What say?

The Beginning

It all started with the Anniversary Cake we baked for P’s parents. The idea was for it to look like their wedding invitation they sent out 25 years ago. The cake looked really great and more surprisingly it tasted just as great too! I say surprising because, when we were baking, the batter kept tasting salty no matter how much sugar we added to it!

The best compliment came a day later, when one of the people who ate the cake booked us for her son’s birthday. That was when we decided, this is going to be a “thing”. So here we are! Trying to run a business!

 Our First Cake!!
