About Us

I at The House of Cakes believe that “A recipe has no soul. We, as cooks, must bring soul to it” Inspired by these wonderful lines by Thomas Keller.

​

I started baking in 2008. I remember a day from my childhood, a relative, a baker by profession sent a cake for my family. It was a Dry Fruit cake packed with nuts and chocolate. Looked usual, but when I took my first bite, it didn’t just fill my mouth with flavors but also fed my soul, and I thought to myself that I would recreate something like that one day.

​

Amidst life’s twists and turns, the childhood dream took a back seat, but I found my inspiration once again in my elder son who enjoyed eating my chocolate cakes and muffins. On his birthday eve, when I asked him what he wanted as a present, to my surprise, he smiled and said, ‘A cake baked by my mom’.

The feeling moved me so much that I began my journey of baking for my family to baking professionally with that birthday cake, and I haven’t turned back. It was hard initially to restart. Took me hours to make the whipped cream but the smiles and compliments that I have received for every cake that I created were worth it all.
