Such warm delightful treats with exquisite flavours are offered by the noted French-style patisserie in the City of Joy – Little Pleasures, founded by high calibre fine pastry chef Shripriya Gupta, takes an excessive pride by presenting such sweet and sumptuous delights through her customizable designer cakes for every special occasion with an emotional punch by showering her extraordinary talent to bring the magic at her den – a fine dessert boutique studio situated in Loudon Street.
There is a saying – ‘Eat Cake and Be Merry‘ a personal favourite dream cake awaits to grace your every occasion sprinkled with love, swirled in flavours and topped with elegant temptations.
Its a journey of a fashion designing student Shripriya Gupta to present her skills at the ramp which finally landed to the kitchen to nurture her hidden skill as a pastry chef through the culinary inspirations from her grand mom’s magical wand – transforming every raw ingredient to warm ‘mithais’ and globe-trotting with her father and ended up by wearing the graduation crown from the famed culinary London school – Le Cordon Bleu.
The elite dessert café at Sarat Bose Road with its brand name embossed elegantly in golden tones on a beautiful sea green colour influenced by the Art Deco Movement and American art and architecture – a trend, born in the 1920s welcomes every sweet tooth lover not only to indulge in the taste but also the art/geometry of fine crackling texture and classy appeal of the sinful desserts. A den for anyone with a sweet tooth to spend time in the paradise with the sinful desserts.
The cafe exudes the talent of the cake artist to savour your sweet time in a stunning French-style patisserie themed decor with elegant model cakes stacked in the display, sea green backdrop with a touch of gold and cute colourful macron stools.
Her extraordinary talent is well evident when she gifted the precious moment to the Little Master’s bday – Sachin Tendulkar with a themed cake featuring one of his most iconic moments – completed a century of centuries.
