Burning Cheesecakes for a Living: Amrita’s Artisan Bakeology

Nestled in a cosy home kitchen emanating an irresistible aroma of all things sweet, a remarkable journey of passion and creativity unfolds every day. Meet Amrita Dhillon, the self-taught home-baker extraordinaire behind Amrita’s Artisan Bakeology.

Amrita’s love affair with baking began in the most heart-warming way – in the kitchen with her mother. As a child, Saturdays were dedicated to baking delicious cookies and with that, some special mother-daughter bonding time. But like many childhood traditions, the baking sessions started to fade away as schoolwork piled up and life became busier. That is, until the age of 14 when Amrita’s aunt introduced her to the enchanting world of butter cakes.

Amrita lovingly recalls the heavenly fragrance of butter cake baking in the oven that would fill her aunt’s home. She was captivated by how a handful of simple ingredients could come together to create something so profoundly delicious. She approached her aunt, eager to learn her secret recipe. Her initial attempts were marred by mistakes such as opening the oven door too frequently, which deflated both the cake and her spirits.

Her early trials and errors only fuelled her determination to master the art of baking. She practiced relentlessly until she could proudly declare her aunt’s butter cake as her own masterpiece. It was at this point that Amrita realized baking was not just a casual hobby but a source of joy for her. As she went on to university, her passion for baking continued to grow. Amrita scoured the internet for unique recipes, experimented with ingredients, and tried her hand at crafting olive oil cakes and delightful tea-time treats. Baking became a form of creative expression for her. 

However, life has a way of leading us down unexpected paths. Amrita spent seven years teaching at a primary school – a fulfilling yet demanding career. It wasn’t until 2019 that she decided to follow her heart’s true calling and started her own home-based business, which she named Amrita’s Artisan Bakeology.

Amrita’s Artisan Bakeology Signature – The Berried Burnt Cheesecake

At the heart of Amrita’s Artisanal Bakeology stands her signature dish, the Berried Burnt Cheesecake. This masterpiece is not just a dessert, it is a work of art. It all began when Amrita noticed a pattern at the parties she attended. Every time she brought her Basque-style burnt cheesecake, people couldn’t resist going back for seconds, and everyone was full of high praise about how good it was.

But Amrita wasn’t contented with good enough, she wanted to achieve mastery. Her quest took her all the way to the resort town of San Sebastián in the Basque region of Spain, birthplace of the original Basque burnt cheesecake. There, she learned how to refine her recipe, making it the best version of itself. Today, her Berried Burnt Cheesecake represents the culmination of months of dedication, hard work, and a passionate quest for perfection.

The taste of Amrita’s Berried Burnt Cheesecake is a revelation for the taste buds. With each decadent bite, you’re greeted by a rich and creamy interior that’s beautifully contrasted by the enticingly burnt exterior. The cheesecake is velvety, indulgent, and wonderfully smooth, delivering a luscious flavour that melts in your mouth. The moment it touches your tongue, you experience a perfect balance between the sweetness of the cheesecake and the caramelization that give it a delightful complexity.

What makes this cheesecake truly exceptional is Amrita’s artistic touch. Adorning each cake is an ensemble of delicate flowers and vibrant berries, creating a visual feast that is as captivating as it tastes.

In the realm of home baking, Amrita Dhillon has carved a special place for herself with her passion, creativity, and a signature Berried Burnt Cheesecake that is a true masterpiece. With every slice, she shares a piece of her heart, making her journey an inspiring one for aspiring bakers and dessert enthusiasts alike.
