Discovering the Sweet Symphony: A Journey into the Heart of Our Patisserie & Boulangerie
In the bustling city of Bengaluru, lies a quaint cloud patisserie and bakery. A place where you’ll be greeted with the aroma of freshly baked pastries as you walk in. You can’t miss the love and passion for good food during your conversations with the Co-founders and Head Chefs of Caramelo Salado, Atrayee and Uttara.
Inspired by the rich tapestry of the French pastry tradition, two women embarked on a quest to create confections that would not only tantalise the taste buds but also evoke a sense of joy and wonder. The bakers met at a patisserie school in Bengaluru after they moved to the Silicon Valley of India, from their respective hometowns in the eastern part of the country, West Bengal. As soon as they completed their course in fine French baking and pastry-making at a renowned culinary school, Atrayee and Uttara began working relentlessly towards the realisation of their dream. Thus, in 2023, ‘Caramelo Salado – Patisserie and Boulangerie’ was born. You see, their meeting was probably written in the stars, for it was their destiny to create Caramelo Salado together. Everyday they add a new page to a tale spun from passion, tradition, and an unyielding commitment to craftsmanship.
Armed with a never-ending pursuit of perfection and an unwavering dedication to quality, Atrayee and Uttara honed their skills under the guidance of master pastry chefs across the city. With each twist of the whisk and turn of the spatula, they infuse their creations with a touch of artistry and a dash of innovation, transforming humble ingredients into edible works of art. Choreographing a delicate dance of flour, butter, and sugar with technical precision, every plate of sweetness coming out of this kitchen is nothing but a piece of art.
The intoxicating smell of vanilla, jazz playing in the background, smiles appearing as the oven ‘tings’, the glimmering eyes as your order gets packed with care, love and hope – we don’t deliver a mere pastry to you but our love and joy that entails the whole journey. The sweet aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls, the delicate piping of chocolate cream into choux buns, and the gentle crackle of artisanal bread as it emerges from the oven – each moment is a homage to the artistry and dedication that defines our patisserie and boulangerie.
