Hello from Cuckoo's CakeNest

Cuckoo's CakeNest is a home bakery in Pune run by Bhavana, a fondant artist who designs every cake around the person it's for. A cake for a little girl's birthday, a surprise for your partner, an anniversary centrepiece: each one starts with a conversation about the celebration and ends as a cake made just for it.

Everything is 100% homemade and hand-finished. Fondant work is the speciality, from sculpted toppers and figurines to themed tiers and fine details that make a cake feel personal.

Alongside celebration cakes, Cuckoo's CakeNest takes bulk gifting orders for events and festivals. Bhavana also mentors other bakers who want to learn fondant work.
