Shilpa is a prominent content creator and the Head Culinary at Baskin Robbins India and founder of The Cakeline, and listed among the top 80 culinary influencers globally. She has had the opportunity to shape and launch recipes that reach thousands across the country. Her experience stretches from commercial product innovation to homegrown dessert experiments, from developing ice cream sundaes and milkshakes to crafting and styling cakes that tell stories through sugarcraft. But no matter the platform \u2013 a 1,000-store product rollout or an Instagram post to her food-loving community \u2013 Shilpa is ahead of the curve to inspire aspiring bakers and food enthusiasts through her creative ventures, thought leadership and engaging content.
\nIf you ask me where this journey began, I would say it started in the warm scent of my large childhood home kitchen, where curiosity met creativity and flour-dusted marble tops became my first cake canvas. What began as fascination grew into a full-blown calling \u2013 one that has led me to dedicate over two and a half decades to the art and science of baking. Baking Mantra \u2013 Cakes is not just a cookbook; it is the culmination of this beautiful, ever-evolving path. It was born out of a gap I sensed keenly \u2013 a lack of curated cake knowledge that spoke directly to the Indian baker. Much of the literature available catered to the Western kitchen, with ingredients we can\u2019t always find, ovens we don\u2019t always use and tastes that don\u2019t always match our memories. I wanted to write a book that felt rooted in our soil, in our palate and in our love for celebration. From tea-time cakes to vegan bakes, mawa cakes to matcha madeleines, this book carries the soul of India, while embracing the global.
\nEvery chapter, recipe and photograph here is personal. The cakes featured are not just tested \u2013 many are lived. Some are heirloom
\nrecipes that I\u2019ve treasured; some were born out of trial and error;
\nand some became signature bakes I\u2019ve made for friends, family and
\nclients, time and again. A few of these creations have even travelled
\nfar, both in geography and nostalgia, connecting Indians across the
\nglobe to the flavours of home.
\nAs a baking instructor, product developer and food content creator,
\nI\u2019ve worn many hats, and each has taught me something that has
\nfound its way into this book. From styling cakes in street-side setups
\nin Mumbai to crafting 3D sugar models, every experience has been
\na layer in the sponge cake of this career.
\nBut more than technique, this book is about belief. The belief that
\na perfectly risen cake can uplift your day. That eggless baking isn\u2019t a
\ncompromise, it\u2019s innovation. That ghee, ragi, jaggery and other staples
\nfrom our pantry deserve space in contemporary cake conversations.
\nThat even a novice, with the right tools and inspiration, can create
\nmagic in the oven.
\nSo whether you\u2019re a home baker, a dessert enthusiast, a young
\nentrepreneur or simply someone who loves the smell of freshly
\nbaked cake wafting through your kitchen (I also include in this list
\nmany of my established chef friends and cake business owners),
\nBaking Mantra \u2013 Cakes is my heartfelt offering to you.
\nYou will find a recipe here for you \u2013 make it your own!
\nHere\u2019s to a journey where baking becomes your business, your
\nmeditation, your celebration, your mantra.
\nWarmly,
\nShilpa<\/p>\n
