The first time I sit down to talk to Ravneet Sidhu,  owner of the online bakery Bakers Bloom, she reaches into her bag and offers me  a sample of  an elegantly wrapped  graduation cookie that she has delivered to a customer who were celebrating the graduation of their son.  The cookie looked exquisite and smelled delicious and a bite of it brought a distinct flavor of oranges and spices.  

My first instinct was Ravneet  was not only talented but creative too with the designs and flavors. I asked Ravneet whether she picked up the art at a culinary school or took courses in baking. Her answer surprised me. “ I  started out with baking for a few friends and taking them for house parties . Gradually many of them wanted  cookies and cupcakes  on special occasions and asked me to do it. That is how I started experimenting and largely taught myself to perfect the art”. Many of her creations are totally improvised.” I do occasionally look online for ideas, but mostly I try to cater to what my client is looking for and customize on the ideas and the flavors to get the desired result” Her cookies have Indian themes like elephants and Henna designs, and others like wedding themes and birthday parties .

Three years ago when Ravneet Sidhu moved from Chicago to Lexington, MA she had no idea that her passion for baking would blossom into a flourishing business. Her company ‘ Bakers Bloom’ is an online bakery which makes  custom designed cookies and cupcakes. The  artfully decorated cookies come  in charming designs, made with finest ingredients including organic eggs, organic butter & madagascar bourbon vanilla extract. All cookies are individually hand-cut and hand-decorated with no trans fats and  nuts. Cookies come individually packaged in FDA approved clear bags.  Flavors range from orange spice, chocolate mint , cardamom , orange and lemon.

You will find her creations at the  Farmer’s Market in Lexington  and at Wilson Farms where she supplies regularly. All her baking is done at her residential kitchen. Each order takes anywhere from 2-4 days since baking   takes time and painstaking effort. "I always ask clients to call me two to three days in advance as you need to wait till the cookies cool before cutting them to desired shapes and decorating them “ Says Ravneet. She takes  bulk orders for 300 to 400 people for parties and weddings and also custom orders for graduation and birthday parties. At the recent Boston wedding expo she catered more than 300 cookies and also generously gives to local school auctions.
