Ever wondered what it would be like to eat a rose? Not just any rose, but a delicious, edible one? Now, imagine a gift that combines the beauty of flowers with the sweetness of dessert. In a world of predictable gifts, some go beyond the ordinary, creating experiences that make every occasion truly memorable.

For Shreenal and Rupal Badiani, a Mumbai-based mother-daughter duo, the quest to create a truly memorable gift led them to introduce a stunning fusion of flowers and desserts that has captured the hearts of many, including celebrities.

“I wanted to give more than just flowers. Flowers can sometimes feel a bit redundant, so adding food seemed like the perfect way to create something special,” says Shreenal.

“It started as something fun between a mother and daughter,” says Rupal, 58, who has spent over three decades managing an event decor production company. Initially starting as a small-scale creative experiment in their home kitchen, the idea swiftly grew into Baked Bouquets — a blooming business, attracting growing attention from customers throughout the vibrant city.

Shreenal’s educational journey began with a master’s in Pharmacy from the UK, followed by an MBA. And it was her time in the UK that gave birth to a new creative direction for her. Inspired by the unique gifting culture she experienced abroad, she began to rethink how gifting could be reimagined in India.
