Our Story
It all started with a question: “Amma, where do I find cakes that are healthy?”
A few years back, my son fell ill and was advised to eat healthily . As any other kid, he hated vegetables and loved sweet treats, especially cakes! He insisted that he wanted to eat chocolate cake and I flatly refused saying cakes were unhealthy. And that’s when he asked,
“Amma, where do I find cakes that are healthy?”
What started as a rhetorical question became a difficult realisation because I couldn’t find any available stores or bakeries nearby that offered healthy cakes
Then I decided to try my hand at baking and experimenting with healthier ingredients as substitutes to the commonly used ones. Soon enough, with practice and near-perfection, I mastered the art of baking healthy cakes, cookies, brownies and other treats. The mom in me was overjoyed and satisfied just by watching my children indulging in healthy delicacies that fulfilled their cravings as well.
Before long, I started baking for the whole family and friends and loved watching the surprised delight on their faces when I revealed that everything used in it was healthy and organic. Baking became a favourite hobby of mine, it felt like I’d created magic with my fingers
With more experimentation and a new profound love for healthier baking alternatives, I learnt, created and mastered new cake recipes. Of course, there were times when I would end up with a too crumbly cake or burnt cookie bottoms. But these little disasters only motivated me to improve my skills and learn more about baking.

Soon after things started normalising a bit, my husband suggested that I open a small bakery providing healthy and organic treats. Reluctant at first, but with his generous support and confidence in me, we started ‘Wheat Bakes’ that focuses on being
- 100% Organic
- 100% Vegetarian
- 100% No preservatives
- 100% Handmade
As the name says, we use 100% whole wheat flour as our key ingredient to bake our delish treats. We also replace ingredients high in fats and sugar with healthier and organic substitutes, therefore our baked goods are comparatively healthier without compromising on taste or quality.
We believe that, in this fast-paced world of trends and fads, eating healthy and organic shouldn’t be one of them, but a conscious lifestyle practice that we make for ourselves and the future generations to come. We also want to break the myth that anything delicious or sweet is unhealthy to the body. That being said, let me assure you that, at Wheat Bakes,
