PRACHI DHABAL DEB THE CAKE ARTIST EXTRAORDINAIRE

The moment my creations come to life, a profound sense of fulfilment washes over me. To see tangible results materialise from the abstract thoughts and ideas behind them is immensely gratifying.

Prachi Dhabal Deb grew up in Doon Valley Dehradun in a locality teeming with exceptional bakeries and cake shops. Cakes, pastries, and other bakery delectables had always been an integral part of the general thoroughfare in her locality during her schooling days. She especially cherished the diverse array of pastries. Though cakes were a common affair during birthdays and parties, their decorations were usually limited in design. As an avid reader of storybooks and fairy tales, Prachi frequently wondered why cakes couldn't resemble the enchanting cottages, towers, or castles from her favourite tales.

It was these early fascinations that quietly simmered within her, constantly fueling the artist inside.

When The Young Baker Found Her Calling

In a small, sunlit kitchen during summer vacations, a 10-year-old Prachi embarked on a journey that would shape her life in the most unexpected ways. Amidst the scent of fresh herbs and sizzling spices from her mother's culinary experiments, Prachi found herself drawn to the pages of a new recipe book, one that promised a world full of creativity. With a gleam of determination in her eyes, she decided to try her hand at baking cupcakes using a pressure cooker. And to everyone's delight, the cupcakes turned out to be tiny masterpieces of flavour. The pride and joy she collected from everyone in the family, lit a spark within her young heart. She decided to try out more baking. Her aunt's gift of a small OTG on her birthday made her passion stronger.

When Life Takes An Unexpected Turn

After finishing her higher education at Calcutta University, Prachi took up a job as a financial analyst in a wellknown and reputed MNC. She had great prospects, recognition, and work satisfaction. She was doing what she aspired to do. But they say, amid all the plannings, life unfolds its own story. Due to health issues, she had to take an early break in her career.
