Passion@cake is a home bakery located in Hyderabad and owned by Indu Prasad Dipankar, a passionate self-taught baker, and an MBA who has previously worked in content management and market research. Since I was a child, I had a deep fascination with baking and cake decoration, often marvelling at the creation of tall and impressive cakes.
My mother, who is a culinary innovator, inspired me with her unique presentations and delicious creations. In 2013 when I moved to the United States with my husband & kids, I began to explore baking further. The first cake I decorated was a doll cake for my friend’s daughter’s birthday, and it received much appreciation and encouragement from friends, family, and guests. This marked the beginning of my professional baking journey.
Initially, I focused on baking buttercream cakes, as they were popular in the US. I formally learned the art of buttercream decoration during my time there. Upon returning to India, I established my home bakery in Bangalore and later expanded to Hyderabad. In 2016, buttercream cakes were not as popular or in demand in India. Determined to stand out, I challenged myself to learn fondant and sugar art. I gathered knowledge During the COVID-19 pandemic, my pizzas and garlic breads gained immense popularity, resulting in record-breaking sales.
I prioritize using the finest quality raw materials and pure chocolates because I believe that quality surpasses everything else. Additionally, I started conducting workshops to train baking enthusiasts of all ages. It brings me great pride to contribute to the baking journey of my students within the local community. I offer workshops ranging from basic baking to advanced levels. I experimented with millet as well. Tender, mild and finely ground millet flour lends a soft and tender texture to baked goods. When combined with any Gluten-free flours, it creates s versatile all- purpose- like blend. Among my best seller products also include gluten-free millet brownies.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my family, husband, children sisters and brother-in-law for their unwavering support and encouragement throughout my baking journey. Lastly, I am immensely grateful to all the mentors and experts I have encountered along the way, from whom I have learned valuable lessons.
