Baker’s description of piece:

My piece is inspired by : Bishnupur Gharana Musicians:

Bishnupur is a city and a municipality of Bankura district in the state of West Bengal, India . It is famous for its terracotta temples built by the Malla rulers, historic Radha Krishna temples built during 1600–1800 CE and the Baluchari sarees.

There is a school of Hindustani music born here and hence called Bishnupur Gharana. This style is said to have influenced the Rabindra Nath Tagore’s singing. The museum in the town has a complete section on the well-known members of this Gharana who were popular during the last two centuries. But a huge new auditorium in the town is evidence of the musical orientation of this town. It is also evident in its Dhokra and Terracotta arts where deities and common people are often depicted playing musical instruments.

Goddess Durga is a major deity in Hinduism. She is worshipped as a principal aspect of the mother goddess Devi and is one of the most popular and widely revered among Indian divinities. She is associated with protection, strength, motherhood, destruction and wars.Goddess Durga symbolizes the divine forces (positive energy) known as divine shakti (feminine energy/ power) that is used against the negative forces of evil and wickedness. She protects her devotees from evil powers and safeguards them.

Terracotta Jewellery is evidently made from the soil and literally translates to ‘Baked Earth’. The natural clay is baked which is why it achieves the reddish-brown colour. Terracotta may be glazed or unglazed piece of ceramic. This falls under the category of handmade jewellery and has a very rustic earthen feel to it. The Terracotta Jewelry is adorned and decorated with numerous colours, beads and decorative items.

This superb cookie was made by Madhubhashini Prabha Kumari.

Baker’s Bio – Madhubhashini Prabha Kumari.

I am Madhubhashini Yatagama a self-taught, passionate and committed designer cake artist. I was born and raised in Sri Lanka. I originally started out in Botswana, Africa as an Analyst programmer; but gave up my professional career and decided to direct my efforts to a more creative direction. I channeled my passion for art through the medium of cakes and became a designer cake artist. I had developed my skills mostly through practice and experimenting with the medium of cake making. As the years went on, I had improved my craft, learnt from other professional cake artists and even gained national notoriety.

Among the many ideas which came to my mind regarding the terracotta collaboration, I chose terracotta jewelry as it is very unique, authentic, aesthetically pleasing, handmade, eco friendly and colorful. I opted out of replicating a design seen on the internet, and decided to make my own jewelry with the theme “flame and fire”.

Baker’s Description of Piece:

My childhood ambition was to be a jewelry designer, so this project brought me great joy to design them through an edible medium.

Terracotta jewelry follows repeating patterns that has a simple, elegant and geometrical look that suits nearly any occasion.

Baker’s Description of Piece:

This is my second collaboration and I have used Bas relief technique

As a piece of Terracotta art I have choose one of the scene of Indian story of lord Krishna fighting with keshi.which teaches us– Do not be scared and stand up for yourself.

In this scene:

Krishna challenged Keshi to a fight, and knocked out all his teeth with his elbow! Krishna then choked the demon horse to his death and was given a new name after that- Keshava, the one who killed Keshi.

This superb cake was made by Pinkle Sachdev.

Baker’s Bio – Pinkle Sachdev

I am passionate home baker and a cake artist from Hyderabad. I officially started working in January 2017. I specialise in customised cakes and bakes.

I particularly love working with coloured ganache for frosting, and strive towards getting a fondant cake finish using ganache, because I believe that it is a tastier medium with comparatively lesser hardwork

I take online classes as well which include basic baking , coloured ganache techniques and many more

My new interest these days is making wafer paper flowers. I enjoy making these beauties, which has no resting and drying time. These are really quick to make and take the look of the cake up by a notch or two .

Now, when I see myself in India’s top 100 & Hyderabad’s top 25 baker’s list, it gives me immense pleasure and I feel honoured to see all my hard work and efforts paying off.

My target is still far from being achieved because sky is the limit.
