Our story
From a home kitchen to a Prior Lake staple.
We started Desi Cakes because we couldn't find the flavors we grew up with at local Minnesota bakeries. What began as baking cardamom cupcakes for our friends' Diwali parties quickly turned into weekend orders out of our home kitchen.
Today, we operate a full-scale bakery in Prior Lake, blending the rich, aromatic spices of traditional Indian sweets with the comforting textures of Midwestern baking. We use real butter, pure saffron, and recipes that have been in our family for three generations.

What our neighbors say
"The rose pistachio cake pops were the highlight of my daughter's birthday. Not too sweet, incredibly moist, and beautifully decorated."
"Finally, a local bakery that gets eggless cakes right. The texture on the fresh strawberry malai cake was perfect, and our guests couldn't even tell the difference."
"We ordered the Diwali dessert box for our office party. The fusion flavors were a huge hit, and the presentation was absolutely flawless."
