Anjana Nath, the owner and founder of La Vanilla Bakers excels in varieties of customized cakes and pastries. LaVanilla is known for its grammable cupcakes and pastries. This home bakery was kick-started by a passionate baker Anjana Nath – who whips some lovely looking goodies which will exceed your expectations. She bakes delicious eggless and gluten-free cakes.
Anjana, a banking professional, forayed into the baking world so she could spend quality time with her little daughter. She was always fascinated by the fine arts since her childhood and felt the urge to pursue her passion for creative activities. This marked the beginning of her latest home-based venture, La Vanilla which she launched in 2018. Donning the baker’s hat in her late 30’s, Anjana has managed to get her business up and running successfully. LaVanilla offers a wide range of eggless cakes and brownies.
Anjana initially faced challenges with packing. She says the packing options and techniques she initially used would ruin her designs with the cakes and pastries moving around in the box ruining the icing and intricate designs by the time it reached the customer’s doorstep. Since then she has explored new and innovative packaging solutions and techniques to ensure the cakes reach the customer’s doorstep intact, just the way she made it.
She is accommodating of her customers’ preferences and tastes and customizes cakes for special occasions. The testimony to this being a loyal customer base she has across the city who place repeat orders. The most common feedback she receives from her customers is "once we have had your cakes, we cannot order for anyplace else". Anjana accepts corporate orders which need to be booked a week in advance.
She is self-taught and has not had any professional training in baking. She learnt many invaluable tips and tricks over the years with experimenting in her kitchen. This she says is what makes her baking bold. Her dream is to be known as the "Best Home-Baker in Bangalore".
Anjana’s trademarks are her Belgian chocolate cakes, Swiss meringue buttercream cakes and almond croissants. LaVanilla offers about 30 different flavours. Her brownies, dessert and savouries come highly recommended by her repeat customers. So, if you’re looking to order customized cakes baked with love and passion for special occasions for your loved ones, do give LaVanilla a try.
