It was a treat to beat all treats in more ways than one. It was a recipe that combined global icons, thought-provoking discussions, bookstalls and more, all seasoned with a relaxed but vibrant carnival atmosphere. The Times Literary Carnival's director Bachi Karkaria and assistant director Namita Devidayal whetted the appetite of more than 10,000 visitors and then satiated it. To complement this, I requested six of Mumbai's best patisseurs to serve up a taste of the finest.

Bunty Mahajan
LV bags, Moet bottles, Poker tables and Angry Birds… could these be the kinds of 3D creative customised cakes you are looking for? Christmas-themed cupcakes, marzipan-coated plum cake, tiered wedding cakes and more. The very talented mother-son team of Bunty and Suchit Mahajan of Deliciae have had Mumbai eating out of their hands for over 10 years. Belgian Chocolate, Red Velvet, Ferrero Rocher, White Chocolate, customised corporate gifting with logo on boxes, Almond Rocks, Hand Made Truffles, Mars, Ferrero Brownies and more.
Best of the best: Death by Chocolate
Where: Hotel Pali Hill, Khar (W) and Haiko Mall, Powai, Juhu @ FYI — Frozen Yogurt Inc.

Desiree Attari
The very gifted Desiree Attari's impeccably crafted works of sugarcraft art have been wowing the city since 1991. Wedding cakes, birthday cakes, baby shower and theme cakes are her forte. Chocolate brownies, marzipan-fruits, assorted pastries, muffins and cupcakes too. Take your pick from flavours like Pina Colada, Black Forest, Pineapple, Strawberry, Fresh Cream, Carrot, Coconut and Plum.

Sandali Salaskar
How about luscious desserts in a glass jar? These and more make us 'COO' with delight as the affable Sandali and Kiran Salaskar have us eating out of their hands. Traditional Christmas Pudding in a jar, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Apple and Cheddar Crostatas, Brandy Crème Profiteroles are their Christmas specials. Their gourmet food boutiques (Nepean Sea Road and Juhu) also sell premium private label products (from coffees to truffle oils) from all corners of the globe (therefore, the name... Country of Origin).

World's Hottest Chef
Yet another treat at the Times Literary Carnival? I was delighted to interview and do the world premiere launch of the NYC-based Michelin starred chef Vikas Khanna's book. International magazines have rated him the 'sexiest man alive' and 'world's hottest chef', but for me it is his research-backed recipes, deep faith in God, love for his family and positively helpful nature (rare in this dog-eat-dog world) that makes me declare him to be the world's hottest chef with the warmest heart. Balle Balle!
