Road in Indiranagar.

Cupcakes take pride of place, of course. Adorned with signature icings and
toppings, and accessorised with drizzles, colourful candy sprinkles, chocolate
chips, walnuts, fruits, the range is also eye candy. With interesting names like
Lady in Red (red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing), Tiramisu,
(self-explanatory), the Boston Cream Cupcake (vanilla cupcakes with custard
filling and chocolate drizzle on top), Chip ‘n Dale (choco-chip cupcakes with
chocolate frosting) and what is already, and not too surprisingly, proving a
hot favourite, Death By Chocolate (dark chocolate cupcakes with a Nutella
centre and choco icing), the store stocks cupcakes that taste as good as they look.

Shitija Nahata, the owner of The Cupcake Company, is actually living out
her dream. “I absolutely love cupcakes,” she says. “They are the most
satisfying desserts. I started making them purely for the joy of baking and
sharing with friends; it just caught on and The Cupcake Company was born.
I have three outlets in Chennai, this one in Bangalore is my fourth store and
yes, I am looking to take The Cupcake Company to other cities.”

Shitija’s cupcakes don’t come cheap but then they are created from the
finest preservative-free, high-quality ingredients, like real vanilla beans,
sweet butter-cream, fresh fruits and rich chocolate.
