Simply Sweet: A Home Baker Studio-Creating Art With Every Cake

Started off as a teacher, Divya always had an inclination towards baking. She calls herself a ‘dessert lover’ and turned her hobby into a career only because of the appreciation and motivation she received from her husband Ansh and her mother Geeta who has been a constant support to her. She began her career as a baker in 2014 and since then she has never looked back.

Simply Sweet
Divya: Simply Sweet

She is one of the first home bakers in Udaipur and now is determined to make her career even bigger than before. ‘Simply Sweet’ is her first outlet which is going to be operational in the first week of July. As I ran into talking to this ambitious and sweet lady, I learned a lot about home bakers and how she has emerged as one of the best in the town.

Let’s find out her story!

The kick-start: Where the journey started?

Divya always was a sweet-tooth; she loved eating sweets since childhood. This made her start baking cupcakes and basic cakes. As her hobby grew she started making cakes and other bakery products for friends and family. Being a teacher, she used to bake after returning from work, sometimes late at night as well. Her mother has not just been a robust support for her but also bakes with her.

Simply sweet Udaipur

Getting immense motivation from her mother and husband, she dared to take baking as her profession and quit her first job.  Gradually, since the year 2014 she has been baking her heart out, giving unmatched results and her clients love and appreciate her conviction in baking.

Delivering Bulk Orders? Challenge Accepted!!!

Telling me her story, she also mentioned some of the challenges she came across as a home baker and how her mother, Geeta came up as a source of constant encouragement. The main challenge she faced was bulk orders to be delivered in a short time frame.

Simply Sweet

She told me, “Sometimes people used to call me asking for 200 to 250 cupcakes to be delivered in a day, which I thought was impossible as I never used any professional equipment for baking. My mother always encouraged me for taking and accomplishing such tasks. And yes, my mom and I did a rigorous job and delivered 250 cupcakes to a client in a day, baking just 12 at a time in our normal oven. It was a huge accomplishment for me and made me proud. All thanks to my mom!”

Being a ‘Different’ Home Baker

In her words, “Two of the most special occasions are birthdays and weddings which revolve around the celebratory cake cutting. Such orders require a personal touch as these moments are to be cherished for a lifetime.”

She is the first customized fondant cake baker and makes matchless fondant cakes. Her customized cakes are a huge success and she gets orders from various parts of the city.

Simply Sweet
Divya With Her Mother Geeta

What makes her different is the way she indulges herself in the baking and garnishing of her baked items. She told me that if she is not satisfied with the outcome, she recreates every little detail and makes her cakes flawlessly beautiful.

Her Major Works

Her signature dish and the fastest moving are her chocolate cupcakes. Divya takes bulk orders for weddings and corporate events. Her best works are customized fondant cakes, cake pops, donuts, tarts, dessert jars. She also bakes customized products such as ‘Gulab Jamun Cupcakes’ for gifting on Diwali and other festivals.

Below is one of her orders for a destination wedding. This included customized fondant cookies which represented the bride and groom and were kept in the wedding hampers in the hotel rooms for guests.

Food for the Mood at The Celebration Mall

A healthy food, for a zesty mood!

There is always a reason to go out and eat! I love food and if granted a reason would definitely grab the opportunity to eat out at any food outlet. Udaipur has some of the most YUMMM food courts, one of the best being the “Food Court” at the Celebration Mall.

Food capital celebration mall

Being a mammoth foodie, I love to try out food and savor those smells, which I personally call the “Food-Aroma”. This food court has all those aromas to stir up your taste buds. Done watching a movie at the PVR or If you are tired of shopping at the mall, which by the way none of the ladies will agree to, you can go to the food court and relish some of the most appealing dishes and mouth-watering desserts.

I love taking pictures of food and upload them on various social sites; there at the food court one added advantage to people like us is the free Wi-Fi. Also I could charge my mobile as they had on table charging points.

Whether your friends want a treat or you just want to eat out; listed below are all the food outlets of the Food Court at the Celebration Mall (3rd Floor) that can suffice your hunger at any occasion:

Subway

Subway - food court celebration mall

We all so aware of Subway, for all the health conscious one’s Subway serves 97% fat-free subs and salads. They give you a choice that you can actually customize your subs or salads.  Everything is freshly baked and yes! Now talking about the taste, Aloo Patty and Roasted Chicken were quite fancy and I loved them; a must try indeed!

Soo Foody

Vinods cafe celebration mall

I met the man himself, Mr. Vinod, who owns and runs this chain of these outlets and is an excellent cook! The things you must try at the Soo Foody outlet of Celebration Mall are the very famous Cold and Hot Coffee, pizzas and garlic bread. I also loved the Club Sandwich they offered me.

The prices are moderate and the food is yumm! What more could I have asked for!

Bamboo Grilles

Bamboo Grilles - Celebration Mall

Bamboo Grilles is one outlet that is totally dedicated to Chinese Food. The veg-momos start from a very nominal price of 50 Rupees. What I personally loved was their veg-sizzler and chicken lollipop with a coke! The prices are relatively good but affordable.

Tikka Express

Tikka Express celebration mall

From Indian tandoor to Chinese tandoor they serve all. It is a franchise chain of restaurants from Chandigarh and has around 7-8 outlets across India. They serve both vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisines and their veg paneer tikka and non-veg chicken tikka was to die for!!!

Keventers

Keventers celebration mall

Some of us must be quite familiar with their shakes. Keventers is an iconic brand when it comes to milkshakes. It is a well-known franchise and has its roots down till 1925 when it first started in Delhi. Out of the 22 shakes they offer, I had some and found hazelnut and chocolate Oreo shake the best!!!

They serve in beautiful glass bottles, AND YES! You guessed right, you can take your bottle home! Voila!

Frozen Factory

Frozen Factory Celebration Mall

It is a Thailand-based Concept and has two more branches at Bengaluru and Lucknow. The fun part is that they make “live Ice-cream” yes, they made it in front of my eyes. I totally loved the taste and got quite carried away by the performance too! Haha!

Dosa Plaza

dosa plaza celebration mall

It is a Mumbai-based food outlet and has around 68 other outlets across India and 4 outlets outside the country as well. They have 104 varieties of ‘Dosa’; varying from Mexican to Chinese and yes India too.  A must try at the Dosa Plaza at the Celebration Mall Food Court is the ‘Maharaja Masala Dosa.

Domino’s

Dominos Food COurt celebration mall

Domino’s is a world famous brand and the cheese burst pizza is my personal favorite. Here in Food court, I tried margarita, country special, and Barbeque chicken pizzas too.

The Chocolate Room

the chocolate room celebration mall

It is an Australian based franchise and serves all chocolate stuff. Chocolate sizzler and Chocolate Avalanche are their signature chocolates and were too yummy as well.

These are the major 9 outlets at the Food Court, apart from these; there are some more outlets in the Celebration Mall that can quench your thirst for food good.

These are Barbeque Nation, Apple Delight, Café Hideout, Waffles and Shakes, Brewz Rock Café. Other than the above mentioned, The Celebration mall also has Mc Donald’s, Baskin and Robbins, Café Coffee Day etc.

Food Brands in celebration mall

Celebration mall in Udaipur has become a one stop shop-n-eat arena, the Food Court itself has a seating area of 250 plus people at a time so grab your stuff and just enjoy your treat.

birthday party zone celebration mall

In addition to this, they have a “Party Square” as well at the Food Court and have a ‘Hungama Game planet’ next to it. The capacity of the Party Square is around 50 to 55 people. It is a nice decent place to have a small get-together or a birthday with food served straight from the Food Court.

I loved it totally and ate my belly-full! Give it a try and check it out yourself, I am sure you won’t be disappointed!

Bon appétit!!!

Did you know the fact that Cafe’s are more likely to boost up your creativity because of the arena they hold on?

We do feel the connectivity as well positive vibes when we are at the Cafe. Feeling of happiness served with delicious food always gives us a stir to stay long at that place. And, this emotion went more overwhelming by being at Mic & Munch Cafe.

Mic & Munch Cafe

Behind the Scenes

Started by three drop out chartered accountants – Aviral Munot, Priyank Patel and Lovish Sanadhya Mic & Munch Cafe has been a concept driven out of their thought of having a casual pub in Udaipur. Where people can enjoy the concept of open performing on stage for not only singing but for varying acts that can let your Dopamine rise instantly. Along with that, every person can also enjoy the culinary varieties that are incredible in their own way.

mic & munch owners
If you head your visit to it, you will find the idea hidden in their name itself, where Mic refers to open performing, and Munch refers to enjoy tiny mini food bites. Inspired out of live music sessions in metro cities, Mic & Munch Cafe can also be called as a counter strike of Comedy, Sports Bar, and Music Jamming. Owners also exclaimed about their venture PAL’s Food that refers to moments & friendship which was a pilot project in their college days. And, out of their love for music, comedy, and to spread positive vibes, Mic & Munch took a hype as a part of it.

Mic & Munch Cafe

Mic & Munch Cafe

Zest in Taste

Last but not yet over, real experience is in meals which are selective and of course reasonable too. What we encounter over there was the fun in food with the fabulous menu that serves you Chai Shai, Coffee-Shoffee, Shake Wake, Indo-fusion delights, Little Bites, Italiano, Mexicano, Quenchers, and adding a cherry on the cake is ‘Aam Aadmi Ka Khana.’ But, don’t take it as an influence of Arvind Kejriwal’s because owners are Narendra Modi’s Fan. 😉 So, there is special touch in the menu with Modi’s Chai (A Fusion Tea that reminds you of Ahmedabad). Apart from all, if you are a diehard foodie, you should try Quesadillas that will make you fall in love with Mic & Munch even more.
