The Calcutta Calorie by Dyuti Banerjee
Our very own MasterChef star Dyuti “Energy” Banerjee was way too excited to share her Barbiecore-themed desserts. She has planned an exquisite Pink Gondhoraj Genoise Marble Sponge, a Beet velvet Cake with a melt-in-the mouth cream cheese frosting, and the chef’s favourite Barbie in a Choux, as she likes to call it. The Pink Choux Pastries with a Barbie Pink Craquelin filled with an oozy blueberry cream cheese is definitely the star of the show. Book your fancy desserts at least 2 days prior.
Price: Rs 100+ per piece (for choux pastries), Rs 400+ for the cakes.
