A youngster here has been doing his family proud and turning heads around with a jewel of a baking talent.

The variety he offers does justice to the statement. Factor this in, jar cakes, Superman cake, a sui-dhaga and Chanel cake among an array of assorted chocolates are some of it. To top it, there is the homemade chyawanprash. All of this being delivered by Danish Jain, with finesse. And it’s all organic.

A second year Bachelor of Interior Design student at the Apeejay College of Fine Arts, Danish has been running a bake studio for past two years, where he displays his craft. Intriguingly, it all started with a dreaming in his sleep as an owner of a chain of bakeries. "That dream changed my life,” he says. Then, aided by his sister Tanvi Jain, he decided to turn it into reality and hasn''t looked back since.

“I am very thankful to my family for their steadfast support through it all," the young entrepreneur tells. His father is a businessman, while mother works as a beautician.

Meanwhile, his baked- to-perfection cakes at ‘You and Me Cake Studio’ were highly demanded by the city’s populace this Diwali. "When I started off, we got only a couple of orders in a month. Now, the number has risen to 25,” he shares. “So…we are only baking cakes most of time," Danish chuckles.

Working, alongside churning out cakes, as an interior designer is something inevitable to happen for he’ll pursue it. “I shall formally pursue interior designing and would love to be an interior designer,” he says, also hoping to live the fantasy of owning a chain of bakeries and restaurants. “I''m not giving this up as it brings me extreme joy,” the 19-year-old quips.

The dream has already begun.
