Are you someone who bakes once in a while only to realize that it does not give you any enjoyment or happiness like it was meant to? Or do you just believe that because you are a beginner baker, you can’t bake without wasting your time, energy or resources? Yet you still find yourself hoping to learn baking but have no idea how to get started?
What if I told you there was in fact a way to bake, be great at it and feel extreme joy at the same time throughout your baking journey?
I believe when you bake to find joy & happiness through intention & mindfulness, you can transform your baking skills and have a stress-free baking journey

the baking journey.
Khushali is a professional pastry chef, entrepreneur, recipe developer, food photographer, content creator & founder of The Laughing Butter. She began her baking journey as a beginner at the tender age of 5, more than 20 years ago. Her love for baking & never-ending curiosity guided her to choose baking as her career.
After graduating in Hospitality Management, she specialized in Baking & Pastry under the mentorship of renowned & top pastry chefs of India – Chef Anil Rohira & Chef Vikas Bagul (School for European Pastry) and also in food safety & tourism. She has also gained experience in top hotels & bakeries in India as a professional pastry chef.
In 2020, she founded The Laughing Butter – a home-based bakery, and she is known for making flavourful, less sweet & tea-time desserts. After working every day for more than 12 hours for years, she aims to pass on her knowledge & guide beginner bakers to find happiness in their baking journey. Not only that, she is interested in helping bakers find a positive path in their baking journey that embraces the things they love to do rather than doing what should be done, making their journey unique and joyful.
I believe in
Habits > Shortcuts AKA Hacks
Authentic > Fake
Process > Results
Less > More
Flavour > Sweet
My pillars of a successful baking journey.
Mindfulness
Being mindful throughout your baking journey helps you focus on the process rather than the results. Because when you focus on improving upon and using the right tools and resources, you will understand baking, feel happy, and find ease while baking. It will help you leave behind all the stress and overwhelm you feel by consuming and purchasing information and resources that do nothing to transform your baking skills.
Authenticity
Relying on authentic tools, ingredients, and resources is the one-way ticket to finding what makes you smile. It helps clear out all the clutter and confusion, find the things that work for you and give you true freedom.
Mindset
Believing that you can make great desserts, and feel happy while doing so, helps you take on challenges, try new things and ultimately transform your baking journey. It will also make you realize that your mindset and not just the tools are the things that assist you in going forward in your journey.
Community
Having support and giving back that support to the bakers who are on the same journey as you, helps you go one step forward towards baking with joy and creating happy baking memories.
my story
Let’s go back to the beginning of my journey, shall we?
Before I started baking professionally, I began my journey in my kitchen, creating delicious treats for my family during the holidays. Those days, there were just a few resources to help me learn and a few people to guide me whenever I was searching for answers. But that did not stop me. My love and curiosity for baking grew day by day because of the joy I experienced.
Eventually, when I began baking professionally, I gained lots of knowledge. But the more I baked, the more immersed I became in a world of stress and overwhelm. Not because of the long hours or painful feet, but because I was burnt out and frustrated.
Fast-forward to when I launched The Laughing Butter. It was exciting, but eventually, the stress and overwhelm crawled back into my life.
But a tiny change in doing something can completely transform your journey, and that is what happened to me.
Slowing down, making space for the important things, and baking mindfully and with intention helped me become the happy baker I always intended to be.
Through this change in my journey, I began noticing that bakers all around the world feel just the way I did. Even though there are many tools and resources available, I saw two separate worlds. One where the professionals were tirelessly baking in kitchens. The other where beginner bakers were trying to gain knowledge and rely on tools & resources that caused even more stress and overwhelm.
This led me to where I am today; excited to pass on the abundant knowledge and help you understand the tools & resources that helped me transform my journey, along with a touch of happiness.
By guiding you to slow down, and bake with intention and mindfulness, I wish to transform your baking journey with content that will help you find the ease and happiness you deserve.
Warm Hugs,
Khushali.
