Melting Moments

A very special cake for a person celebrating 90 years on the planet!!!! Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla cake!!!! A Strawberry cascade flowing out of a very tediously made chocolate bowl!!!! I think this decor turned out quite sensational!!! I was told that the cake was very well received by everyone present. Your thoughts please.

A mixed Berry cake with Vanilla Mascarpone frosting. Sensational green with chocolate drip, colourful berries and a waffle cone, when all of this comes together puts up a beautiful show, isn't it? Or is it possible, that everything starts looking festive during this time of the year???? Whatever it is, I am surely very happy with the way this cake turned out.

Chocolate Raspberry and Vanilla cake with Mascarpone filling. My most favourite cake by far. Made it for an 87 years young person. Decor done, with the thought that old age is a reflection of your childhood. So let the child in you get excited again.

Winter party starters rolling out. Chicken plait-, the pleated puff pastry stuffed with delicious Chicken and the famous chicken and cheese Sunflower bread. Let the party begin!!!!

Cheese chilli and garlic wreath for a Christmas party. It's a pull apart bread with the wonderful filling of cheese, chilli and garlic. Festive vibes are everywhere!!!! Enjoy this delicious creation!!!

When your bestie turns 50 years younger, you celebrate it with a Tiramisu cake with Bailey's Irish Cream frosting!!!! A simple yet high on flavour cake with a little twist. I also added a hint of Orange to it. Something very different, but simple and yet festive. Cheers to 50 and more!!!!

Cranberry and Orange spice cake with Rum and Vanilla Mascarpone frosting!!!! Topped with Sugared Cranberries (made at home) and a few Strawberries just for effect. One of the classic holiday special cakes this season. Made it for my clients niece. Everyone loved the flavour of this one. I am delighted to hear that as this is a new flavour I have introduced this season. I am in love with this Wedgwood combination and the fabulous contrast the berries are creating.

Christmas parties have begun, and so have the Yule logs. Chocolate and strawberry Yule logs. Festive and Merry!!!!

A simple Vegan Chocolate Babka for someone who loves it.
A twisted bread beauty, with chocolate oozing out of every crevice!!!! Hmmmm!!!!

Chocolate, Rum and strawberry Mousse cavity cake. One of the most decadent cakes you can have from Melting Moments.
What is a cavity cake??? You have a cake with a cavity in the center. The cavity has Chocolate and rum mousse inside along with macerated Strawberries and dark chocolate ganache in the layers, also topped with chocolate ganache.
Does it sound interesting????
Made it for a friends party, who wanted to impress her guests. And I was informed, that they were. Yay!!!!💃💃💃💃

First ever time, a Vegan Mulberry and Orange cake. Made it on request, from one of my clients in Delhi for his friend in Pune. Struggled a bit, as it was clearly out of my comfort zone. (Those of you know me, know that I hate any kind of substitutions. Everything has to be eaten, the way it's meant to be. Of course, it's just my opinion. No right or wrong here).
But my client was happy, and so was I.

This is my favourite time of the year. Christmas!!!!
All my creations will start showing the feel. Made this Chicken plait for my friend's party. Handmade puff pastry, with delicious Chicken filling and pleated meticulously to make it look sensational!!!! Let the party begin. 🎷🎷🥁🥁🎶🎶🎵🎺🪇

And the countdown begins!!!!! Fruits and nuts soaked. Let the Merriment begin!!!!

Melt in the mouth Double chocolate and walnut brownies. Sure to satisfy all your Chocolate cravings. Trust me when I say that.

Berries have started making appearances in the market and thank God for that!!!! The scrumptious mix berry cake with vanilla Mascarpone frosting layers and outer layer of dark, gooey chocolate!!!!! Topped with a handmade chocolate cone overflowing with seasonal berries and homemade chocolates!!!! This is my dream cake. Uffff!!!!😋😋😋😋

Assorted stuffed Cupcakes that went to Bombay. Coffee and chocolate being one flavour , Chocolate and Raspberry and Choco Vanilla the others. Each cupcake has an element of surprise and burst of flavours inside. I love the crisp curls on the Coffee cake.

Pristine white Strawberry and Orange cake for a 25th Birthday celebration. A two tier cake which I assembled at the venue. And for the first ever time forgot to take pictures after that!!!! 😱😱🤦🤦

My client was kind enough to send me these pictures taken by their photographer. 🙏🙏🙏
I think the Gold and white look is sensational. God knows, how many times I had to repeat the same look in different ways in the past 2-3 months on the clients request. 🤷🤷🤷

A semi naked mixed Berries cake with cream cheese frosting!!!! Berry season is back. Slowly and steadily all the berries will start making appearances in the market. I could lay my hands on these today.

I am in love with the purple strokes against the pearly white background. Simple and yet elegant.

Chocolate, vanilla and Raspberry cake. Requested by a girl for her Mom. It was the first time she was ordering something all by herself, and she was really worried, if her Mom and everyone else would like it or not. She reverted back to me saying , The cake was superb!!!! Mission accomplished!!! Yay!!!❤️🧡💛💚🩵🩶💜

Whenever I have made this cake design, I received back to back orders of either the same cake or different cake with the same decor. White and Gold is very special for me!!!!!

An Apricot, strawberry, orange and Vodka cake for a young girl, who had tasted my cake at her friend's house. She wanted the same cake, same flavours, same look for her own birthday.
I was not aware of how popular this cake would become. Now most of my Apricot compote is over. Next year, I will double the quantity. For now, it's just one more cake.

Happy Diwali to everyone!!!!

Happy days are here again!!!!!! Mulberries have started making an appearance in the market. And I am so delighted to start working in my comfort zone, Berries!!!!

Mulberry and Orange cake requested by my client for her husband. I love the green ribbed background with oranges, Mulberries and the homemade chocolates giving the sensational contrast.

A very vibrant Blueberry and Pineapple cake with Citrus Mascarpone frosting for my friend's brother who loves Pineapple. I wanted to do something different, yet classy. So thought of this aqua marine colour with white. My friend wanted the fresh flowers, so I added that element too. Dual colours, fresh flowers, fresh berries and pineapple everything came together so beautifully in this cake!!! I absolutely loved the final outcome. Do you????

As Christmas comes closer, baking bread becomes an automatic ritual. Burger buns for someone who was craving burgers , but is also finicky about eating out.

I just love the magic which happens at every step of baking bread. Kneading, proofing, shaping and finally the oven spring in the hot oven. It's magical!!! And what is even more rewarding is the aroma and taste of the freshly baked bread!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

A classic Raspberry and Vodka cake with Lemon Vanilla Mascarpone frosting!!!! Requested by someone from Bombay as a Thank you cake for someone dear. I had fun decorating this cake, though I really wish I had fresh Raspberries to decorate the cake!!!!

Chicken puffs after a long time!!!! Flaky, crispy, melt in the mouth puffs. Made for a tea party.
These puffs take me back in time. When I was young, my parents used to run a food outlet, where, as a kid I used to eat these. I try to replicate it as best as I can. One bite, and I am transported back in time!!!!

Chocolate Orange and rum cake for a person who is very fond of Golf and his drinks. One of the best sellers of Melting Moments. Chocolate cake soaked in pure rum , layered with Rum and Chocolate mousse frosting and a chocolate and rum drip on top!!!!! What's not to like????

Thank you for participating in the guessing game yesterday. This is the Cranberry sauce that I made yesterday. A big round of 👏👏👏 for all those with correct answers and also for those who tried.

Made an extremely delicious Cranberry and spice cake with vanilla cream cheese frosting. This will be the new addition for this season. Do try and let me know. 🥰🥰

A very simple but absolutely delicious Chocolate and Vanilla Charlotte cake with Vanilla Mascarpone frosting. Decorated simply with caramelised nuts. Made for a friend who doesn't like highly frosted cakes.
I am surprised at myself, but I could eat this frosting day in day out. It is so so delicious!!!! I am hooked on this frosting for life.

Happy Dashera to all !!!

Chocolate, Coffee and Rum cake made for a friend , she and her sister were born on the same day a few days apart!!!! Talking about coincidence and timing, how's this one???

A jungle theme cake for little Aayush, who is the sweetest kid I have come across in recent times.
Underneath the decor is a chocolate and strawberry cake with whipped cream frosting. The little guy was so excited that, he ate couple of 🍄🍄 even before cutting the cake.😂😂

Sometimes you crave something and you don't know what. Sometimes, it's cookies, sometimes it's cakes. So I thought of combining both and making BROOKIES!!!!
They are a combination of cookies and Brownies, hence BROOKIES!!!!
Chewy on the outside, soft and delicious inside. Best of both the world's!!!!!

Now where is that damn Tea?????

Assorted cupcakes (stuffed )
Chocolate and Orange
Chocolate and Strawberry
And Chocolate and Chocolate.
Made for an 8 year old. Every cupcake has a surprise element in every bite. Cupcake decorating is an art. And I take my art very seriously.

I wanted to try something new for a long time. Ever since I witnessed the very fragrant Lavender flowers while in Europe, I wanted to try my hand at using them in my baking. But not having worked with it before, I knew I had to be careful while using this flavour. It can be very overpowering and hence it had to be introduced in combination with another flavour.
That's when I thought of yet another marvelous, and my favourite flavour, Earl Grey. Earl grey is my most favourite flavour as it has , Bergamot orange, a citrus fruit with the appearance and flavor somewhere between an orange and a lemon with a little grapefruit and lime thrown in. You all know my love for anything Citrus !!!!
So here is my Lavender and Earl grey cake with Lemon cream cheese frosting. A very very unique, different flavours for your palette.
Yet again, I apologise for the quality of the pictures. But I am sure you all will enjoy the pairing of flavours.

I have been a little unwell for the past week. The yearly viral flu seems to keep extending its stay every year!!! Anyways, thankfully recovered now and back to baking.
Baked these amazing Baguettes . Crunchy on the outside, and soft inside. I really love to bake bread. I don't get enough time to do so due to my cake commitments as bread takes more time. But whenever I get an opportunity, I don't miss it. My soul feels so satisfied, every time I bake bread!!!! Hope all of you are doing well. Have a great week ahead. 🥰🥰🌺🌺

I have really mixed feelings about posting these pictures. I have put my heart and soul in making this new addition to my menu. It's a Chocolate and Strawberry Bakewell Tart. Tart base, delicious Chocolate and Almond Frangipane filling and layer of Strawberry compote in between makes this tart so very special!!!!!
Requested by my friend from Bombay. He and his family loved it a lot, which made my efforts worth it.
But I am so heatbroken about the quality of pictures. Something is seriously wrong with the camera and cameraman, which is taking forever to get rectified. Sorry about the below average pictures. Trust me the product is so delicious. But the pictures are just not doing justice to it. I guess, next few days, I would have to rely on my phone camera.

Tiramisu cake, made my way for a 75th birthday. Delicately decorated, Ombre effect with homemade chocolate accents. Mascarpone cheese gives that very authentic Tiramisu taste. How many Tiramisu fans here???

A coffee time treat!!!! Choco mocha marble cake with Mocha glaze. A wonderfully delicious coffee cake for those who dislike frosted cake, but enjoy that intense Coffee kick. Its moist interior, flavorful glaze and the rustic exterior plays riot in your mouth from the first bite. Coffee anyone??????
