Meet Arpita Goel | Cake Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Arpita Goel and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Arpita, why did you pursue a creative career?
Artistic expression can take many forms, and for me it’s expressed through cake decoration. Just as a painter uses a blank canvas to create a masterpiece, I see cakes as my canvas. The creative freedom I find in decorating cakes allows me to convey my positive emotions and thoughts. Each cake becomes a unique work of edible art where I can express my joy, creativity, and happiness, making it a delightful experience for both me and my clients. It’s a beautiful way to share my emotions and creativity with others through a delicious and visually appealing medium.

The 9-5 desk job may have felt monotonous, baking ignites my passion and excitement. It’s a way to break free from the mundane and adds vibrancy to my life.

Baking serves as a form of self-expression and allows me to break free from the constraints of a traditional job. Just as I find happiness in portraying my positive thoughts on cakes, baking not only excites me but also infuses my life with the joy of creation. It’s a dynamic contrast to the rigid structure of a 9-5 job, making each day more interesting and fulfilling. So, through my cakes, I’ve found a delightful avenue to express myself and bring joy to many more lives.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
@MishtyBakes is a dream come true of running a Bakery – home based as of now 🙂 . Our tagline would be – “You dream it , we create it.”

Here we take every possible step to make our clients’ dream come true.
So we try to understand the need of our clients and give them what they are looking for; by designing custom cakes and treats for almost all events and celebrations.
All creations are edible, curated with love and passion. But our topmost priority is -quality.

There’s a saying that “eat with your eyes first” . So we know that looks do play a vital role in the appetite and makes for great instagram posts too ;). Hence attention is paid on the beauty factor as well.

What sets us apart……..

1) We are not a regular brick and mortar store/ bakery and we have a bunch of competitors but what sets us apart is that we definitely deliver what we promise and more.

2) We follow the rule of ABCD – Above and beyond call of duty. We go out of our way to make the experience for our customers and clients memorable and enjoyable.

3) We make everything fresh from scratch using high quality ingredients as per the orders we receive.

4) Our fondant (sugar dough)is home-made which tastes better than store bought and helps in creating beautiful & tasty toppers with it.

What I am most proud about…..

I haven’t undergone any formal training or course. I am a self made person from scratch just like my baked products and so I can proudly say that my achievements are my own.

Some of my driving forces are:-
1. The intricate cake designs created by professionals are really inspiring.
2. Learning new skills and techniques.
3. Trying out different mediums(edible).

How did we get to here professionally……..

By pushing myself every single day to become a better version of myself; grow and learn to reach a level where people recognize me for my art and talent. I am my own competition.

Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges?

It was never easy to move out my comfort zone and start something new. It took a lot of courage and guts. I was an average IT Professional but had never envisioned myself as an Entrepreneur. I knew I had the determination but it took me a while to realize my true passion & now that I have recognized my niche skill, I keep honing it.

-Also the key here is the “Never Die Attitude”.

-Treating every failure or disaster as a learning curve and improving on it .

– Being calm and working on.

There are a few key lessons that i have learnt along the way:-

-> Age is no bar- never ever.

-> Believe , Respect & Value Yourself- If you don’t, nobody will.

-> Your critics are your best friends as they help you overcome your shortcomings .

-> Always be bold, be courageous to try something new .

How the story of our Brand began…..

Our Brand MishtyBakes grew out of love and passion for Baking and Cake Decorating. We treat every creation as if, we were doing it for ourselves with top quality ingredients and artistic finesse.

We love the smile on our clients’ face and the sparkle in their eyes when they see their custom order come to life. Also the excitement in kids to just get a bite from the goodies we create for them motivates us to keep getting better.

We wish to grow organically with hope in our hearts that one day, we will make a mark- for ourselves and create a brand – like a legacy left behind.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband and family plays an essential role in my creative journey of cake decoration. They are the unwavering pillars of support that empower my artistic expression.

Just as I see cakes as my canvas to express my happy thoughts, my husband’s support becomes a canvas upon which I am building my dreams. His encouragement and belief in my passion for baking provides me the confidence to pursue what excites me. He is not just a partner but also a co-creator in my artistic journey.

My family, too, plays a crucial role in the background. They provide the foundation. Their backing and presence offers me the emotional stability and security I need to fully explore my creativity. Their unwavering support allows me to dive into the baking world with enthusiasm and dedication, knowing that they are there for me always.

So, my shoutout is a heartfelt expression of gratitude to my wonderful husband whose motivation fuels fire in the artist in me and also allows me to take my talents to another level so that I can shine and flourish
