Sugar & Flour Bakes Bangalore

Round Cake or Square Cake? Tell me what you ❤!  
There is just something about square cakes that makes them stand out a little bit, right? I truly love it (and stress over it!) when clients request Square Floral Cakes. 🤭 
It's not only a challenge to work with (I've given up on those straight edges!) but to design something that looks interesting on a square cake with flowers, is just so much fun! 😁 
This design is not mine, but has been inspired by a cake I saw on Pinterest (couldn't find the artist). Made for a 40th birthday celebration for one of the sweetest clients, this one will always have a special place in my memories and my heart! 🥰 
🔸Chocolate Cake filled with Dark Chocolate Ganache. Frosted with White Chocolate Ganache. Decorated with Vanilla Buttercream Flowers.

As a baker and cake artist, one of the things that make us super happy; is to be a part of an entire family's special days, year after year. 🥲
I have had the privilege of baking not only for little Aadhya from her first birthday; but also her parents, before her. As always, it's just so much fun and so special to bake for you all . 🥰
Thank you for continuing to make me a tiny part of your family, through my cakes, for the past 8 years! Looking forward to many more years of this! 🥳
This one made for little Aadhya's 2nd birthday! 😍

Vanilla Chocolate-Chip Cake filled with Milk Chocolate Gamache and frosted with White Chocolate Ganache. Decorated with Vanilla Buttercream flowers.

I absolutely love everything about florals on a chocolate frosted cake. I rarely get requests for these, so it's always extra enjoyable for me to create these pieces!
This one made for a 40th birthday celebration. 🥰

So are you team chocolate or team colour, for floral cakes backdrops?
P.S - I've added an additional picture of the cake top with black backdrop, because I couldn't make up my mind about which one looked better! 🙈

1,2,3 or 4? 
Here are some of the practice rounds I did before my open theatre demo (pic 4)
Which one's your favorite and why? Comment below and let me know! 🥰 

So very happy and grateful to have started 2024 on this note!🥲
To have a tutorial of one of my cakes published, is amazing in itself. To have the cake be one of the "top picks" by the editor, is literally the icing on the cake for me (yes! pun very much intended!) 🥳
This cake in particular, is very dear to my heart and someday; I hope to be able to share the story behind it. So it is extra special to me; for this cake, to be featured in the first issue of Cake Masters India, this year. 😊
If you are a cakes and bakes enthusiast, I hope you subscribe to this amazing magazine. I assure you that every page is a treat for cake lovers and there are some amazing tutorials in this month's issue, that you should not miss (including mine of course!) 😁
Thank you so much for giving me this wonderful opportunity and for featuring my work.

Does the background make a difference in cake pictures?
Comment below and tell me what you think!

Roses and daisies are my favorite things to pipe on a cake and no other cake embodies that more! 🥰

🔸Vanilla Chocolate-Chip Cake with White Chocolate Ganache and Buttercream flowers

Coming out of the holiday with this one, that reminds me of Christmas; even though it was made for a birthday!
Hope you all had the best Christmas yet! 🥰
🔸Red Velvet Cake With White Chocolate Ganache and Vanilla Buttercream Flowers

A 40th birthday cake made for a wonderful "young lady"! 🥰
The cake colours were done to match her dress and jewellery, which I have never done before. This was definitely an exciting challenge for me. ❤
So happy with the way this came together and I'm inspired to do more such "dress inspired" cakes in the future. 😊

Hello there! I have a little request. 🙃
This year, after much hesitation (actually, self-doubts), I decided to nominate myself for the Buttercream Award in the magazine awards 2023. While I would have preferred to leave it at that, this works based on nominations we recive from others too. 🥴
So, if you feel that my work deserves to be nominated, it would make me immensely happy if you took some to fill the google form (link in my bio), Page 5, in the "Buttercream Award" category.🥲
If you feel someone else deserves it more, then please fill it out for them and let them know too! There are a ton of other categories, as well. 🤩
So do take some time to go through the form and if you would like to nominate yourself or someone else for any of the categories, trust me, it would make their whole year (what's left of it!) 😁.
As always, thank you for your love and support. 🙏🥰

Happiness is Sunday Mornings! 🌞

🔸6 Chocolate Cupcakes frosted with Vanilla Buttercream Flowers
A perfect little gift for those who love sugar and flowers! 😁

❤
Although, this one was technically made for a birthday, I am posting it because my mom's favorite among all the work I do, are my floral basket cakes.
So this one's for you Ma! 🥰

It's all happening on Bake Fiesta 2023!
The best part - it's online! So you can sit back, relax and enjoy the class at your convenience 😁
Check out the link in my stories if you want to sign up for this (and other) classes happening on the show! ☺

Just a few practice flowers I was trying. I always practice with white icing so it's easy to reuse. I couldn't resist adding a touch of green to the last one though!

Back to it after ages and with one of my favorites! 🥰

🔸Chocolate Cake filled with Dark Chocolate Ganache, Frosted with White Chocolate Ganache and Decorated with Vanilla Buttercream Flowers

I have always hesitated to venture into the wedding cake part of the caking business. 😬
I truly feel that it needs a level of creativity that I don't understand or have. 🙈
However, that doesn't stop me from experimenting, since I don't have to worry about unleashing my "creativity" on some unsuspecting couple! 😆🙊
So here's me pushing my boundaries and trying new things out on my poor unsuspecting cake dummies! 😁

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I wish you all a fabulous 2023 and I hope you have the best year ahead! 🥳
Let me start by saying Thank You from the bottom of my heart for being here, for following my work, for encouraging me and most importantly, for connecting with me. 😍
What a treat it has been to connect virtually, with so many of you across the globe! I look forward to so much more of it this year! 😁
Also starting the year with this post. I made this cake a few weeks ago for a charity auction which intended to raise money for an orphanage. So honoured to have been a part of it. 🥲
This post is to remind myself to give back more, do good for people around me who need it and to be kinder to everyone (including myself!) this year. I hope you do the same as well! ☺
On that note, I wish you all, the very best, every happiness and lots of cake in 2023! 🤗

One of the most special cakes I did this year! 🥰
So honoured to have made this cake for an adorable little 1 year old. 😍
I have been baking for her parents for close to 5 years now and even before this little girl was born, her mum and I spoke about baking for the first birthday of the child she would eventually have.
So no cake has been more special for me than this one and it will forever hold a cherished place in my heart 🥰
Thank you for your never ending faith in me and for making me a part of so many of your special days. Can't wait to be part of many more! 🤗

***ANNOUNCEMENT***
BUTTERCREAM FLOWERS CLASS (Offline)
Start your New Year with learning a New Skill! 🥳
After the overwhelming number of requests I have received for classes, I am stoked to be opening bookings for offline, one-on-one classes in January of 2023. ☺
Swipe to read all the details of the class in the post. Please DM me for more details, pricing and for blocking dates.
Looking forward to sharing what I love to do, with you all in the coming year! 🥰

Some orders have a way of etching a place in our hearts and minds. This cake will always be one of them. 🥰
This particular client had made several requests over the past year for a cake. However, as I was busy or booked, I had to decline every time. So when he approched me once again, for a birthday cake for his pregnant wife, I just could not say no (even though I was planning to travel around that time!). I organized my trip in a way that I could be back to do this one and I'm ever so glad that I did. ☺
He was a delight to interact with and gave me plenty of creative freedom. Even though his location was close to 35 km from mine, it did not detter him. He made sure he booked the delivery person even before we had confirmed all the details! 🙈
Needless to say, I put absolutely everything I could into this one and was so happy to do a cake in these colours after ages. Loved how it turned out and even more thrilled that the client loved it too (last pic)! 🤩
Cakes or orders are not just a matter of making a living or running a business. It is about creating special memories and trying to make someone's special day as beautiful as possible. To me, that is the best part of what I do and I hope to continue being a part of people's special days for many more years to come! ☺

Love trying new colour combinations on cakes in my free time (mostly on dummy cakes!). Especially ones which I cannot try on my orders! 🤭

"The influence of teachers extends beyond the classroom, well into the future" ~ F. Sionil Jose
This post is a tribute to my wonderful English teacher from school - Ms.Sheela Joseph; who has indeed had an influence beyond the classroom for many of us! ☺
She was and still is one of the kindest, most humble human beings I know. Along with being a wonderful teacher, she was someone who would take time out to genuinely get to know a student. We (she taught my husband as well!) have very fond memories of her from our school days. 🥰
Over the years she has always taken the time to not only stay in touch with me, but also keenly follow the progress in my baking journey. She never fails to leave a comment or kind words of encouragement every time I post something.
Last month, when she messaged me saying she would be in town for a few days, I made sure that we would meet her again, after nearly 12 years! I was also looking forward to finally being able to bake for her! 🥰
Needless to say, meeting her along with her husband; and being able to host them was definitely one of the highlights of my year! Even better, was being able to gift her a box of my floral cupcakes. Swipe to see a few moments from that evening.
So grateful for such people and such moments in my life! 🥰
A big Thank You and Happy Teacher's Day to Ma'am. I also extend these wishes to all the teachers who have been a part of my life and have made me who I am today. ☺
Finally, a Very Happy Teacher's Day to everyone who has taken the time to give knowledge and enrich someone's life! ☺

Beating Monday blues with these little pretties on a plate! 😁
