My story
Hello, I'm Devaki.
I'm the baker and candle-maker behind The Cake & Candle Co., making every order by hand in my kitchen in Hatfield.
The Cake & Candle Co. brings my two crafts together: eggless bakes, from Indian-inspired signatures to the classics, and candles I decorate by hand. Both are made for the same moments: birthdays, Christmas, Diwali, weddings and every gift in between.
Baking started as a hobby. For cultural reasons, everything I make is eggless.
My flavours come from mixing cultures: family recipes, Indian desserts and a lot of experimenting in my kitchen. I wanted a cake and an Indian dessert in the same mouthful, and that is where bakes like my gulab jamun mini cakes and saffron and pistachio loaf began.
The candles started with henna. I had done a little henna art and tried it on a candle. Every candle I make is still decorated by hand.
For me, food is at the heart of every celebration. What I love most is seeing the joy when someone opens a box, and sharing our rich Indian heritage with a little of my own added to it.
— Devaki
You may know my bakes as Artisanal Crumbs and my candles as Devaki Designs. They now live together under one name.

Questions
Good questions.
Can I order cakes and candles together?
Yes. Add everything to your basket, then check out once with one collection date. If you need some items on a different day, check out twice.
Do you only make Indian flavours?
No. My signature bakes are Indian-inspired, but I make plenty of classics too: vanilla, chocolate, Victoria sponge and Biscoff cupcakes, plus lemon loaf, cheesecakes, and classic or banana Biscoff tiramisu.
Is everything really eggless?
Yes. Every cake, loaf and cupcake is 100% eggless, without exception, and no eggs are ever used in my kitchen.
Do you deliver?
Not at the moment. All orders are collected from Hatfield, and I'll send the address when I confirm your order.
How much notice do you need?
7 days for menu items, candles and hampers, 2 weeks for custom cakes, and at least 6 weeks for wedding favours, depending on how many you need.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer. Once I confirm your order, a 50% non-refundable deposit secures your date. The rest is paid by bank transfer when you collect.
Can you cater for allergies?
Most bakes contain gluten and milk, and some contain nuts or soya. The allergen menu shows what is in each one. Everything is made in a kitchen that also handles nuts and sesame, so I can't make anything nut-free. Please tell me about any allergy when you order.
Allergens
Allergen menu.
Every bake is 100% eggless, and no eggs are ever used in my kitchen. Here is what each one contains.
Updated 12 November 2026
What's in each bake.
A dot means the bake contains that allergen. Gluten is from wheat; tree nuts are pistachio and almond.
Never used
Egg, peanuts, sesame, celery, mustard, lupin, sulphites, fish, crustaceans and molluscs are not in any recipe.
May contain
Every bake is made in a kitchen that also handles nuts and sesame, so traces are possible. I can't make anything nut-free.
Celebration cakes & hampers
A celebration cake contains the same as the classic cupcake in its flavour, plus its decorations; I'll send the full list with your quote. A hamper contains the allergens of the bakes you choose. Candles are not food.
Have an allergy?
Tell me before you order, on the order form or on WhatsApp. Every box is labelled with its allergens when you collect.
