Celebrity chef Natasha Gandhi and stand-up star Shreeja Chaturvedi may not be your usual baking duo, but at the IGP Cake Fest, they proved to be the perfect recipe for a city that came ready to eat, laugh, and cheer.

Making her way through a flurry of fondant and fearless flavours, Gandhi,  best known for her breakout moment on MasterChef India,  judged 40 passionate home bakers in what was aptly named the “Battle of the Bakers.” From intricate piping to bold desi twists, the finalists didn’t hold back. At the end of a day filled with tasting, storytelling, and more than a few emotional moments, Trashika Dsena was crowned the winner, while Jill Shah walked away with the Popular Choice Award.
