best bakers near you
The blog hop on women empowerment opened doors to various options I found very apt for encouraging young and talented ladies. All of them appreciated this kind gesture, on Instagram, of helping their home businesses get noticed by a wider audience. Then, I realized I knew a lot of bakers myself, in and out of India. Most of them are my friends and some I barely know, but either ways, their cakes and breads are the best.
So, I decided to put together this blog to help them with their businesses and help you find good bakers for the next party you organize or attend! If you like fondant decorated cakes, braided breads, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, focaccia, macarons, cookies, pastries or the like, do check below for the best bakers near you.
INDIA
Let’s start with where I get my cakes from.
Choco and Lush
By Sanjana Fogat
This was started in Delhi before she moved to Bangalore. I have been ordering her cakes and cupcakes for my kids’ and hubby’s birthdays since 2015. We totally love the décor, taste and texture of the cakes. She has been creating my theme cakes so wonderfully that I kept ordering till before the pandemic. She was in Bangalore, but has now shifted base, talent and her yummy cakes to Gurgaon.

Nutkhat Bar
By Sania Shetty
A mom entrepreneur started this brand 4 years ago. She makes a whole range of healthy snacks and savoury products. Her signature product is homemade granola made without any preservatives or added sugar. During the lockdown, they started producing some super exotic Mexican Coffee Buns, which are a delicacy. Trust me, they are so yummy, it left me craving for more. They curated a special and sinful treat called ‘Nutella Hazelnut Baklava Pie’ for the holiday season. Check out their page for snacks for your tea time, gifting or just pure indulgence.

Bakeology by Sia
By Sia Grover
The pandemic gave rise to many young bakers and this 11 year old girl is one of them. Sia found her passion for baking right after she won the baking competition during Christmas in 2019 and also won the mango competition held last summer. Last year my daughter’s birthday cake was baked by her. She takes orders mainly during her school holidays but you can DM her for other times too!

Sharmila’s Cake Art
By Sharmila Rasquinha
She has been baking cakes for the better half of two decades. Like most home bakers, this business stemmed from a hobby and a deep passion for edible creations. She offers a wide range of flavours from Baileys and chocolate cakes to the traditional rum wedding cakes. Her current obsession seems to be creating lifelike figurines. Check out the faces and lip cakes displayed on her page. You can DM her to book your cake sculptures for your next elegant party!

Sweet frostings by Sharon
By Sharon Pinto
She began when her kids were older, around two years ago. Her passion for baking and food décor turned into a mini business from home. Though I haven’t ordered her cakes yet, I have heard a lot about the taste from common friends. The fondant décor on them is on another level. See for yourself and, if you’re in Mangalore, order your cake now!

Theory of dough
By Aishwariya Nair
She specializes in preservative-free breads. Her breads are so yum that I ordered them all the way to Bangalore though it cost me a bomb. I wanted to taste it because I was craving for some delicious and soft garlic bread. She has signature breads like Jalapeno, Olive, Garlic and Cheese Loaf, Italian Ciabatta, Italian Herb and Garlic loaf. She also makes real good rum cakes during Christmas.

Whisks and Spatulas
By Jossann Mendes
She’s been a home baker for over two years now. It all began when her mom taught her to bake a simple sponge cake during her college days. Over the years, with the help of Google and basic baking courses, she began baking professionally. To perfect her cake decorations, she took a course from a renowned chef Samie Ramachandran. Now, she makes amazing themed cupcakes and birthday cakes! You can contact her on her Instagram page to book your cakes.

Mortha Sushma
By herself
After baking cakes for family, baking became her hobby, which soon turned into a passion and an obsession. She looks at baking as a form of expressing art. Baking with her mom was always a special occasion filled with love and laughter and she relives it when she does the same with her 3 boys. She believes that cakes are all about celebrations and making memories. She makes lovely flowery cakes and also works on themes given by her customers.

Dessert Box by Dolly
By Dolly Sheth
This self-taught baker was selected as one of the top 10 bakers in Pune and top 100 in India. With over 6 years of experience, DBD was born out of a passion for creativity. Baking, frosting and designing cakes with attention to detail seems to make her absolutely happy. Every cake is like an empty canvas that she feels the need to fill with her artwork. She specializes in customized cakes and cupcakes in a variety of flavours. She has also been featured in cake magazines and several other online platforms.

KUWAIT
Patsy’s Pat a Cakes
By Patsy Fernandes
I have tasted, seen and adored all her cakes for years now. It just took a baking class and some encouragement from the spouse to begin trying out various flavours. Her chess themed cake was too much. I would have probably played chess without knowing it was a cake. And the KFC cake was out of this world! Can you see how real it looks? Even the chicken is CAKE. Check out her creations.

Sweet Treats by Michelle
By Michelle Coutinho Noronha
She is another one of my friends who has been taking cake orders for years now. She has three kids and bakes a cake for each of their birthdays as well as for other occasions. She takes orders based on her convenience because… you know… kids! But if you’re lucky to get her to bake your cake, you will be dazzled by her creativity. Her best was the Pepsi bottle cake which picture I still zoom in to believe it’s a cake and not a bottle. So perfect!

Karen’s Kitchen
By Karen D’Souza
As many of you know, her recipes, with healthy variants, are all over my blog. But, she has also begun taking orders from home. You can find the latest one here. Her fishtail breads and cake pops are being devoured by many kids and adults around her. During the pandemic, she found her love for baking and mastered the art! I’m still trying in vain. She has recently begun taking bulk orders for various bread types, rolls, cake pops, brioche, cookies and more. DM her to place your order soon!

Culinary Rock and Roll
By Rochelle D’Sa
Another young budding baker in the place I was born. She started with cooking one dish for family get-togethers and pot luck parties. The praises that she received motivated her to excel and led her to realize that this was her calling. On weekends mostly, all her spare time involved perfecting at least one dish. She recently began taking orders for cupcakes, cookies and pigs in blankets. Check out her page and place your orders as soon as possible.

To me, women empowerment is encouraging women to excel at what they love doing. I probably turned into a blogger and influencer so that I become the voice of those hidden talents. I’m sure there are many other bakers that I’m unaware of but I wanted to start with those I truly believe are the best in their own ways. I tried baking but I have no interest, enthusiasm or patience to do it regularly. Therefore, I admire these women who, I believe, have what it takes to be a good baker!
This publishing will get updated as and when I find more female bakers around. So keep checking and keep sharing the same.

What a wonderful idea for a post Cindy! Saving it for sure.
Thanks to you too for the inputs!
Wonderful post. Never knew so many cakes exist.
Thanks for compiling the list of best bakers in these cities. I am sure the post will surely help many who are new to city and are not sure about where to order customised cakes from,.
My husband is behind me to order the Rum and Cola theme cakes. loved the design a lot by patsy cakes
Oh my god.. such beautiful looking cakes and it is so inspiring to see so many talented women out there in business.
A good list… There’s nothing better than to find a curated list of bakers in cities with friends that you want to surprise 🙂 thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for sharing these amazing cake options. I just wanted to admire all the cakes which you mentioned above. You are doing some great job my promoting these bakers.
Baking is an art, and like all art forms, this one too requires dedication. It is good to see so many women entrepreneurs in different Indian cities, who have taken up baking as a full-time or part-time profession. I would definitely place an order from one of these women bakers in my city.
Baking is passion for many. One of my colleague started her very own shop and I loved her stuff. You have shared about so many wonderful bakers will surely keep this post as reference.
Oh my god look at all those cakes, so delicious and beautiful. I would love to eat that camera cake so amazing 😍
That’s quite a list and is going to be helpful for people staying in these places.
All these cakes look so yummy and have given me some ideas for upcoming celebrations. Loved how you’ve supported small businesses who are actually so creative.
This is quite a list of bakers. a great post cindy and indeed a great gesture to support small businesses.
The cakes look so tempting…. Love it ❤
Cindy you are doing great job hy promoting the small businesses. They are need recognition and the #VocalForLocal holds true here too. The compilation lists too good, I will check Delhi based bakers for sure.
This post came in time. I am looking for cake for next week as its my mom’s birthday. I would try your recommendation of Delhi and order some delicious delicacies.
Cool. Let me know how it is!
These are some amazing options. The images show some amazing Creativity. We don’t have a birthday in our home till aug but i will definitely consider these under the pretext of seasons greetings 😉
Wow this list is really impressive and I am happy that there are so many home Bakers now even there are many of my friends who are home Bakers.
Thank you so much for listing these. I now know when I visit these places I can stuff myself by ordering. #blogaberrydazzle

YES, GOOD COLLECTION OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS VENTURING IN BAKERY
useful data for all of us n inspiring too.
All the cakes look so yummy. Your post itself is a visual treat indeed.
Home bakers are best. I always prefer theme based and customized cake. Thanks for sharing this amazing list of bakers. I know few home bakers from Bangalore, one was in my community and she was amazing.
Cindy these cake recommendations are gold. Judging by the pictures, these homebakers have done an incredible job. Have got few friends in Bangalore and Pune, so definitely would share the recommendations to them. As for me, I love homebaked products. I have been ordering cakes for the last 6 years from different homebakers only.
This is such a well-curated list. People are always skeptical of trying anything new especially when it comes to cakes for special occasions. your personal experience and recommendations make this really worthy enough to try once. Keep sharing bits of homegrown business. It’s the least we can do to support them. 🙂
All the cakes look amazing! This is such a great effort to enlist the homebakers and help them grow their business.
Thanks for sharing these bakers . I don’t spend time time in the kitchen But my sweet tooth is asking for these products
Commendable effort Cindy to promote our friend’s Ventures or someone who is in need. As a woman or person, I also feel that it is our moral responsibility to appreciate the good work and give our bit in spreading their talent. I love all the amazing theme cake. In the year 2020, I also started to try my hands on Bakery.
This post is a treat in itself. Wow. .this is all the more helpful to travellers. They will know where to look.
I prefer to get cakes done frm tired and tested places and you have shared a superb list of some good bakers. I loved the flamingo cake under “mysore”. Its awesome
I love baking that is the time I spend in the kitchen. Thanks for letting me know such professional bakers Cindy. That was a tasty treat to my eye and I would order them someday.

Yummy………. these cakes, pastries make me drool but I am on a strict diet as of now due to severe health issues… I had been in delhi last week, had I read this earlier I could have ordered something from her.
Really amazed reading the entire post. I didn’t knew about the incredible art in baking! Baking alone needs patience. Glad to know about all these. Kudos to you too for your appreciatable work. Women empowerment in a true sense- to support. Glad to connect with you.
That is quite a comprehensive list, Cindy. The cakes look so tempting. I am curious to check out Super Baker Sisters, need to dig out where all they deliver. I do hope they offer the goodies in an allergy-free version.
I love baking and eating baked goods also. I would love to explore all of these cities and bakeries listed by you. The pictures look absolutely tempting.
tHEY ARE HOME BAKERS!
These are super talented women. Baking is just not easy not for me at least. It requires patients, precision, creativity and loads of talent. Thanks Cindy for sharing, they needs tons of appreciation.
Aha! This is quite a list of bakers! I know a few from our blogging community who are excellent bakers like Samira Gupta and Harjeet Kaur.
