8 Home Bakers to Order From in Bangalore
There is something special about freshly baked products, from the aroma that emanates from the ovens to the time and love that is put into making those goodies. Bakers across town are whipping up a storm, catering to all things sweet or savoury. While this might not be an exhaustive list, here are some home brands that stand out for their specialised offerings. Read on to know what's baking.
1. The Cupcake Connection by Dr. Nida and Dr. Nidhi
The Cupcake Connection is the spot to order from if you're looking for eggless cupcakes that don't sacrifice on flavour or appearance. The bakery specialises in traditional buttercream cupcakes and offers them in a variety of packaging options, including wooden boxes and monogrammed. The best of their offerings is floral cupcakes nestled in beautiful cane baskets that look like edible bouquets, making you do a double take as to whether you’re looking at flowers or food. Double Chocolate, Caramel Cinnacake, Choco Mocha and Classic Vanilla are some staple flavour options.

2. Irrelephant Bakehouse by Rishika Komarla and Joseph Mathew
The Korean Cheese Garlic Doughnuts oozing with parsley herb garlic butter at Irrelephant Bakery are their speciality, and the fact that they have received over 3000 orders since they first opened is a testament to the product. If you're looking for something substantial then try their Cheesy Garlic pull-apart loaf (the bakers are a big fan of garlic and butter in this kitchen).

3. Shokupan.in by Siddhant Verma
Shokupan.in, a micro bakery, was born out of the baker's love for Japan, and the hunt for the best non-commercial bread in town. The homegrown brand bakes Japanese breads that are the softest and fluffiest, resembling clouds, using only basic ingredients like all-purpose flour, milk, egg, sugar, yeast and salt. While Shio Pan and Shokupan are staples amongst the other Japanese varieties, try the Chocolate Shokupan or the Melon Pan if you're looking for a mildly sweet variation to fuel your teatime nibbles.
