Born from a deep love for baking and an appreciation for detail, Ssensazione journey reflects how passion, patience, and purpose can shape a brand. What began as a humble home kitchen venture has grown into a name synonymous with refined flavours, elegant storytelling, and bespoke celebration cakes—earning its place among Mumbai’s Top 50 Home Bakers while staying rooted in authenticity and craft.
When did you start your journey as a chef?
Our journey began over six years ago, in March 2020, from a home kitchen driven purely by passion. What started as baking for family and friends gradually evolved into something more meaningful as we realised how deeply food connects with emotions and celebrations. As Ssensazione began taking shape, the focus expanded beyond baking to building its identity, communication, and overall experience—transforming a home bakery into a thoughtfully positioned brand.
What inspired you to start baking, and how did your journey lead you to being recognized among the Top 50 Home Bakers in Mumbai by HomeBakers.co.in?
Baking has always been a source of joy and calm for us. From the very beginning, the emphasis was on mastering flavours, maintaining consistency, and using quality ingredients. Staying true to authenticity, attention to detail, and customer trust allowed the work to organically reach the right audience. Being recognised among the Top 50 Home Bakers in Mumbai by HomeBakers.co.in felt like a validation of years of dedication and quiet hard work rather than a sudden milestone.
Every baker has a signature touch. How would you describe your baking style, and is there a particular creation you’re most proud of?
Our baking style is refined, flavour-led, and detail-oriented. We believe every creation should feel indulgent yet balanced, with nothing overpowering and everything intentional. We are especially proud of our customised wedding and celebration cakes, where flavours, structure, aesthetics, and storytelling come together seamlessly. Subtle elegance defines our signature, and our most memorable creations are bespoke cakes that truly reflect a client’s personality and journey.
Theme and wedding cakes are all about storytelling. Where do you find inspiration for your most unique designs?
Inspiration primarily comes from conversations with clients. Understanding their stories, cultures, emotions, and personal details allows us to translate those narratives into edible art. Beyond that, fashion, architecture, colour palettes, venues, and visual aesthetics also influence our designs, ensuring every cake feels meaningful and unique.
How do you stay ahead of the latest trends in wedding and theme cakes while keeping your designs personal and original?
We closely observe trends but treat them as a guide rather than a rule. Craftsmanship and flavour always come first. Trends are interpreted through Ssensazione’s aesthetic, helping us create designs that feel contemporary yet timeless, personal, and original.
Wedding cakes can be elaborate and high-pressure. Can you share a moment when you faced a tough challenge and how you handled it?
High-pressure situations are part of wedding projects, whether due to tight timelines, structural challenges, or logistics. Staying calm, trusting experience, being prepared, and maintaining clear communication have always helped us deliver confidently. Strong teamwork behind the scenes ensures a smooth and stress-free experience for the client.
What tips would you give to someone who wants to specialize in creating stunning themed or wedding cakes at home?
Strong fundamentals are essential—master flavour, texture, and consistency before moving to complex designs. Equally important is approaching baking professionally from day one. Branding, pricing, communication, and reliability are just as crucial as technical baking skills.
Being recognized among the Top 50 Home Bakers in Mumbai by HomeBakers.co.in is a remarkable achievement. How has this acknowledgment influenced your perspective and growth?
The recognition reinforced our responsibility as a brand. It pushed us to continuously refine our techniques, elevate the overall brand experience, and evolve creatively—while staying true to Ssensazione’s core values and commitment to quality.
A Legacy of Love and Baking: The Mother-Daughter Duo Behind Our Timeless Flavours Ssensazione
At the heart of our bakery is a story rooted in love, legacy, and shared passion—a mother–daughter duo brought together by the simple joy of baking.

As the bakery evolved, Shivani stepped in to shape its vision and identity. Blending her creative perspective and modern sensibilities with Jyoti’s time-honoured recipes, the duo found a natural balance between tradition and innovation. Jyoti brings soulful baking and experience, while Shivani brings storytelling, aesthetics, and brand direction—together ensuring every creation feels both timeless and relevant.
