Our Story
Crafted like an elixir. Made to be remembered.
Where craft meets devotion, and every bite becomes something worth remembering.
The Baker
Meet Kanika Gwalani
Kanika did not stumble into baking. She trained at the School of European Pastry in Mumbai, one of India's most rigorous pastry programmes, where she learned that precision is not optional. It is the craft.
She brought that discipline back to Ahmedabad and built Bourrbon from her kitchen, one recipe at a time, one customer at a time.
Her philosophy is simple: if she would not serve it at her own table, it does not leave the kitchen.
Every order is personal. Every cake is hers.
The Name
Why Bourrbon?
Kanika always found herself drawn to baking, not just as a profession, but as a craft where precision and passion meet. She left the corporate world to pursue her training in pastry arts, chasing a discipline that had nothing to do with where she started.
After moving to Ahmedabad, she found a city that truly celebrated good food, along with the encouragement to turn her training into something of her own.
The double R is intentional. A small flourish. A reminder that what we do here is a little more considered than the rest.
The Training
Trained where the world's best train.
Kanika didn't learn to bake from tutorials. She trained in person at the School of European Pastry, Mumbai — earning her diploma the hard way: hands in dough, a blade under gold leaf, nothing rushed, nothing skipped. That discipline is what shows up in every box that leaves Bourrbon's kitchen today.

Where craft meets devotion.
In ancient Indian tradition, the finest food was made first as an offering to the divine. Not as ritual. As a standard. If it is not worthy of the gods, it is not worthy of you.
At Bourrbon, we hold every item we make to that standard. Our cakes are built layer by layer. Our cheesecakes are set overnight. Our pastries are laminated by hand.
We do not rush what deserves to be made slowly. Every bite is an elixir, crafted with devotion, served with love.
The Bourrbon Standard
What we promise.
No shortcuts.
Every ingredient is chosen deliberately. Real butter, seasonal produce, the finest chocolate. Nothing processed, nothing artificial.
Time is an ingredient.
Our cakes are built in layers. Our cheesecakes are set overnight. Our pastries are laminated by hand. Good things take time and we will never apologise for that.
Made with devotion.
Every item that leaves our kitchen has been made as if it were an offering. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, every single day.
