About Choc & Cherry, Gurugram
Meet Chef Pratiksha Tayal
Ever since I was a child standing on a step-stool to reach the kitchen counter to grab a sweet and drop the flour box, flour has felt like magic!
From childhood days of playing kitchen-kitchen with fully equipped kitchen toys to dreaming of cooking professionally, cooking has always made me happy.
As I grew up, another passion became an important part of my life — Art & Design. I eventually pursued Interior Design and Arts as my core profession and career.
But baking never really left me.
Where Baking Began
Being an Interior Designer, I have always looked at cooking and baking as another form of art.
For me, baking is where meticulous precision meets edible art.
My fascination with baking deepened when I attended a 03-month workshop by Le Cordon Bleu France in Gurugram in 2013, where I developed a fascination for the perfect lamination of a croissant and the delicate balance of a French macaron.
Over the years, that fascination grew into a desire to master the craft of fine bakery.
Baking became my stress buster, my therapy, and eventually, a true joy of life.
The Turning Point
As my family and close circle gradually transitioned towards a sugar-free lifestyle, I noticed something missing from the alternatives available in the market.
Many sugar-free and dietary-friendly treats lacked the texture, indulgence, and joy of traditional bakery treats.
I watched loved ones skip desserts and even celebration cakes because of their dietary needs.
I knew there had to be a better way.
That became the turning point.
I made it my personal mission to create treats that allow people to enjoy the pleasure of cake and desserts without feeling like they were missing out.
And that is how CHOC & CHERRY began.
Why CHOC & CHERRY? 🍫🍒
The answer is quite personal.
My loved ones and close circle of friends call me “Cherry”, and I have always been an ardent lover of chocolates.
So when it came to naming the bakery, there really wasn't a better combination than:

What Makes Our Bakes Special?
Our kitchen is where passion meets precision.
We believe dietary preferences shouldn't mean compromising on taste.
We work with ingredients such as:
- Almond flour
- Oat flour
- Ragi flour
- Monk fruit
- Allulose
- Stevia
- Erythritol
- Date syrup
- Palm sugar
- Natural jaggery
Depending on the recipe and your requirements, we create bespoke cakes and cookies designed to be delicious, beautiful, and satisfying.
No grainy textures. No strange aftertastes. Just the joy of a good bake.
Made for Every Celebration
We believe nobody should have to sit out when everyone else is enjoying dessert.
Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, celebration, gifting occasion, or simply a craving for something special, our goal is to make every moment a little sweeter.
Baking is my passion. Wellness is my lifestyle.
With CHOC & CHERRY, I wanted to bring those two worlds together.
Skip the guilt. Keep the celebration. 🎉
