We have come a long way from birthday parties at everyone’s favourite burger joint hosted by a clown. Those were top-tier parties back then. Today, the experiential birthday party has become the cool ‘it’ thing for the new generation. Workshops such as painting, pottery, and others have become the new normal for celebrations. Baking birthday parties have been grabbing people’s attention for a while now. Three city-based platforms roll out the plans.

Kiddies at the cooking station

At Mahek’s Atelier in Lokhandwala, Andheri, baking birthday parties and kids’ masterchef parties hosted at the studio give children — aged seven and above — a chance to learn two baked items from a list of brownies, cookies, muffins and cupcakes. With chefs to assist and scaled-up cooking stations, kids can get to work baking and decorating sweet treats.
