Dessert Jars: The Easiest Thing to Send Someone in Bengaluru

Layered, spoonable and hard to damage in transit — when a jar beats a cake, and what's in ours.

A dessert jar is a slice of cake's worth of pudding, layered into a glass jar and sealed. It's the thing we suggest most often when someone wants to send a person something small, and it solves a few problems a cake doesn't.

Why a jar, not a cake

It travels. A jar is sealed and it sits upright. It does not care about a speed breaker the way a cream cake does. If you're sending something across Bengaluru to someone you can't hand it to yourself, this is the lower-risk choice.

It scales without a knife. Six people, six jars. No cutting, no serving, no plates, nobody eyeing the bigger slice.

It keeps. Sealed in the fridge, a jar is happy for a couple of days. A cut cake isn't.

It's the right size. Sometimes you want to send someone a nice thing, not commit them to a kilo of cake they'll be eating all week.

The two sizes

Most of our jars come in two:

  • 100ml shot — ₹100. A few spoons. Good for a taster set, a thank-you, or sending several flavours at once.
  • 200ml jar — ₹220 to ₹250. A proper dessert. This is the one to send if it's standing in for a slice of cake.

If you can't choose, Dessert Shots at ₹400 is a set of four assorted, which is the easiest gift on the whole menu.

What's in them

Ten flavours, and they split roughly into three moods.

Familiar favourites — Oreo, Red Velvet, Fresh Strawberry. Safe choices for a mixed group or for kids.

Richer — Salted Caramel Brownie, Red Velvet Cheesecake. Both ₹250 for the 200ml. These are the ones to send someone who's had a week.

Desi flavours — Kesar Pista, Rose Cardamom, Mango. Saffron and pistachio, rose and cardamom. These land well as festival gifts, where a chocolate cake can feel slightly beside the point.

There's also a Coffee Dessert Jar that's eggless, which is worth knowing if you're ordering for a household that avoids egg.

When a jar is the wrong answer

Being fair about it: a jar is not a centrepiece. Nobody puts candles in one and sings.

If it's a birthday where a cake gets photographed, order the cake. If it's an anniversary and you want a moment, order the cake. Jars are for the other occasions — sending something to a friend having a rough week, a small thank-you to a colleague, dessert for two on a Tuesday, or a set of flavours for a family to argue over.

Sending them to someone else

Give us the recipient's address and a phone number they'll actually answer. Our delivery window is between 4 and 5 in the evening, so pick a day when someone will be home.

If it's a gift, say so when you order and we'll pack it accordingly. For anything bigger — a set going to several people, or a hamper with jars and other bakes in it — have a look at gifting or just message us.
