About Us
An atelier for cakes that are meant to be remembered
We are a boutique studio of pastry chefs and designers making a small number of exceptional cakes each week, entirely to order.
Our Story
It began with one cake, and far too much care
The Cake Smith started in a home kitchen with a single tiered cake for a friend's wedding — and a stubborn refusal to let anything leave the table unfinished.
That commission became another, and another. Today we work from a dedicated studio, still baking to order, still capping the number of cakes we accept each week so nothing is rushed.
Meet The Founder
Classically trained, quietly obsessive
Our founder, Chef Nisha Aggarwal, trained in classical French pâtisserie before spending years in event design — a combination that shows in the way we think about a cake as part of a whole room, not an object on its own.
She still sketches every commission by hand and personally finishes every wedding cake that leaves the atelier.
Our Philosophy
Flavour first. Then everything else.
A beautiful cake that tastes ordinary has failed. We begin with the flavour — cultured butter, Belgian chocolate, single-origin vanilla, fruit in season — and design around it.
Restraint is the house style. One idea, executed impeccably, will always outlast a cake trying to say five things at once.
Behind The Studio
A small team, long hours, no shortcuts
Sponges are baked to your date. Buttercream is made the morning it is used. Sugar flowers are shaped days ahead so they set perfectly.
We also open the studio for intimate workshops, because the fastest way to understand a cake like this is to try making one.
