Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Niyati Shah. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Niyati thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
Mithaskcake has one goal, creating memories for the customer that can be cherished for lifetime. And when it comes to food, you need innovative ways that can make you stand out in the crowd. When you want to create something unique, you will surely face some challenges. I learned cake basics from various sources. But as my roots are from India, I wanted to get little creative with flavors and bring some fusion flavors that can be refreshing. Getting all ingredient right was a challenge as you don’t find everything easily here in the USA and that made me try different things to get it right. It was also equally challenging to get it pitched to your customers as it is something they will be trying out for the first time. But as we all know, consistency and patience are keys for any success, and adding my love and passion to it gave me the right fuel I needed. This made me what I’m today!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

We are specialized in customizing cake for all occasions like Wedding, Birthday, Anniversary, Baby Shower to name a few (Checkout our Cake Portfolio on Instagram or Facebook).

The complete blend of beauty and taste is what makes our product unique, and your special moments Mesmerized!!
As we continue to deliver our customer expectations, we also had an opportunity to serve some of our loved artists. It has been an absolute honor to make cakes for Micheline star Chef Vikas Khanna, Bollywood singer Shaan and for Art Of Living Singer Vikram Hazara. Also got an opportunity to promote United States’ Census Counting initiative for the community by my cake art.
During Pandemic, got an opportunity to do the live virtual demo at corporate level for Dell’s Diwali event.
Our work has also been featured in Wilton Cakes and Satin-Ice (top baking brands), NY Cake page, Cakes Decor, Dallas Voyage, Austin Voyage and Gandhinagar Diaries
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
My secret of happiness is my art – where I flow and pour my feelings. I’m a mom of two beautiful kids, aged 11 and 7. Also, a microbiologist by profession and was working in a pharmaceutical company before taking a break. But art is always my passion and Love. I like any form of art and baking is one of many. And always wanted to do something I love. I started baking in 2008 and learned through various sources. Initially started baking for my friends and my hubbies’ colleges and then slowly grew by adding more using my creativity and innovations. I saw that my work of art is not only just a food but also an avenue to create memories for special occasions that can be cherished for a lifetime. This is exactly what I believe as an artist and motivated me to go on with this wonderful journey.
