Her Cakes, Her Cakewalk

Her 11 cloud kitchens across Mumbai are abundant with luscious, H Lartisanal, seasonal, strawberry cakes this holiday season-with moist layers, and in stunning shapes-as Bunty Mahajan, the celebrity baker to Bollywood and beyond, busily lights up candles on the birthday cake of her brand, Deliciae, which completes two decades. "Careful consistency has led me to build up a faithful clientele. There are ingredienttasting sessions every day, to keep a strong check on the quality," says Bunty (few know her real name is Amita), who baked the dreamy 100-kg cake for the engagement ceremony of Anant Ambani with Radhika Merchant. The ivory showstopper, arranged across nine tiers, was decorated with hundreds of wispy red flowers in keeping with the theme of the event.
