Our story
A home bakery in Mansarovar, Jaipur
The Batter Stories began the way most home bakeries do — with a birthday cake that people would not stop talking about.
For the better part of two decades, the cakes that came out of this kitchen went to exactly one kind of customer: family. Birthdays, anniversaries, the odd Sunday when someone had had a hard week. They were never sold, never photographed, never given a name.
What changed was the neighbours. One of them took a slice home, came back the next week and asked whether she could pay for a whole one. Then her sister asked. Then somebody's colleague in an office across town asked, and it became obvious that this had stopped being a hobby some time ago.
In 2024 we registered with FSSAI, put a name on the boxes, and The Batter Stories became a real thing. The kitchen has not changed. The recipes have not changed. What changed is that you can now order one without being related to us.
What we will not do
We do not use premixes, and we do not use compound chocolate. We do not keep stock — if you want a cake this evening and we have not started it, the honest answer is no, and you will get the honest answer. We do not take more orders in a day than one person can bake properly, which occasionally means turning down work in December.
We also will not promise a design we cannot deliver. Send us a photo from Instagram and we will tell you plainly how close a home kitchen can get, and what it will cost, before you pay anything.
Where we bake and deliver
Everything is baked in our home kitchen in Mansarovar and delivered across Mansarovar, Vaishali Nagar, Jawahar Nagar, Sardar Patel Nagar, Bani Park, Raja Park, Malviya Nagar, C-Scheme, Shastri Nagar, Adarsh Nagar, Civil Lines, Pratap Nagar, Jagatpura, Bapu Nagar, Gopalpura Bypass, Murlipura, Vidhyadhar Nagar and the surrounding parts of east Jaipur, through a local rider. Collection from the kitchen is free and, in Jaipur's summer, the kindest option for a fresh-cream cake.
How we work
Baked to order, never in advance
There is no display case here. Your cake is mixed, baked, cooled and finished within 24 hours of reaching you — which is the whole reason we ask for notice.
Real ingredients, named out loud
Belgian couverture rather than compound. Full-fat cream cheese rather than whipped substitute. Bananas ripened until the skins go black. We will tell you exactly what is in anything you order.
Eggless is not an afterthought
Almost every flavour has a tested eggless version using a cultured-curd base — not a dry substitute dropped into the same recipe. Our kitchen is 100% vegetarian.
One person, one kitchen
Every order is baked by the same pair of hands. That limits how much we can take on in a day, and it is the reason the quality does not move.
Food safety & licensing
The Batter Stories Home Bakery is registered with FSSAI as a home-based food business. We follow the storage, hygiene and labelling requirements that come with that registration, and we are happy to share our registration number and full ingredient lists with anyone who asks. Allergen information for any item is available before you order — please raise it at the enquiry stage rather than at delivery.
