These cakes are rich, flavourful and gluten-free and are packed in a chintz-inspired design.

Their cakes are gingerbread date coffee (eggless) made of putta batta rice flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, palm sugar, olive oil, medjool date, dry ginger, cinnamon, coffee, flaxseed, apple cider vinegar, coconut milk, orange and baking powder.

AkiMi's Gourmet has come up with a special Christmas hamper. The hamper includes Christmas special plum cake, chocolate mendiants, DIY hot chocolate mix and strawberry cream trifle jar. All treats in the hamper are vegan, gluten-free and refined-sugar free.

Wholesome Rhapsody, started by Senthil Kumar, offers vegan, gluten-free desserts using ingredients that are locally sourced keeping in tune with the festive vibe. 

"We are offering jar cakes, plain loaves and rum balls as part of our festive hamper. Hamper starts at Rs 1,300 and we also offer plum and date toffee loaves starting from 250 gm. Our Tudors East India plum cake is a conglomeration of ingredients that highlights the chronological evolution from its inception as an oat-based frumenty throughout its heyday during the Victorian era and later colonial influence on the Indian subcontinent. We have kept cereal (oat, heritage rice) and nutri-cereals (millet) as our base ingredient as an homage to the East India culinary influence and spice trade," says Senthil, adding, "King George Stone Love is our plum pudding jar - it is a celebration of the revoked feasting presumably initiated by King George I in 1714 during his first-year reign with a note of 6 pm for his first experience with plum pudding."
