Our
Story
Baker's Basket was established back in 1985 as a rustic corner store bakery selling pastries, cakes and fresh oven baked goods. Our owners & culinary experts, Ravish Arora & Rajendra Kelshikar, with a support staff of just 10 individuals, started baking out of a small yet humble kitchen located behind the Blind School in Pune. In no time, our classic Black Forest cake had become synonymous with any celebration in the city.
Over the years, with unapologetic insistence on the highest quality ingredients, artisanal craftsmanship and hard work, we have shifted to a larger factory space with 16 stores spread across Pune city and an amazing dedicated team of over 50.
Our founders strongly BELIEVE that Baker's Basket has survived and prospered for almost four decades because the team is relentless in creating only the very best. Whether a baker who works through the night, a delivery driver who makes sure the store racks are full everyday or a friendly face at the store counter, we are passionate about what we do and it shows!
While our cakes have become a much loved staple in Pune, our portfolio has grown to include fresh artisan breads, handcrafted cookies, bespoke cakes, gourmet sandwiches, savouries and a wide range of retail products.
