Bandra resident Amrita Bhoolabhai smashes the sweet-goodies-spell-bad-health myth, by custom-making Whole-wheat Cupcakes, Fruit-Nut-Seed health bars and Oat-Raisin Cookies after taking your dietary and nutritional requirements into account
When someone spouts gyaan about whole-wheat cakes, organic biscuits and lollipop cookies, and nut and seed health bars, you want to scowl at how healthy mumbo-jumbo has successfully wiped out the simple joy of a sugar rush. But when a Wheat-flour Cupcake commands the same orgasmic "Oh-my-gosh!" that a baking-flour packed, sugar-iced one does, you say, "Healthy eating, huh? Bring it on!"

Amrita Bhoolabhai and sister Meetu decided to dish out healthy alternative to popular recipes, especially after Meetu found success with baking whole-wheat cakes. The idea coincided with the unfortunate discovery that their seven year-old nephew had juvenile diabetes.
"My first attempt at marketing food however, had little to do with health," smiles the 41 year-old Bandra resident, telling us how her sought-after brownies encouraged her to take up cooking on a professional level. "I make healthy Wheat-flour Cupcakes, cookies, and cakes even, but my brownies are simply sinful," she says. Amrita frequently alters recipes to suit dietary requirements of individual clients.
Often, she replaces wheat flour with rice flour to accommodate gluten allergies, and even uses sugar substitutes whenever necessary. "The minimum order required is just a quarter kilo," she tells us, "whether you take one of my original recipes, or you need one that's specially devised to suit you."
Priced at Rs 180 for 10 Fruit-Nut-Seed bars, health doesn't cost a packet here. Amrita's Oat-Raisin and Oat-Chocolate-chip Cookies cost Rs 175 per u00bc kg, and she even prepares mini versions or extra-large lollipop size cookies (Rs 20 per piece) for kiddy birthday parties. "I usually have a stock of health bars and cookies ready since these have a shelf life of between seven and 10 days."
For most of the other goodies, including the Whole-wheat Cakes (most cost Rs 250 for u00bd kg), Carrot Cakes, Banana-nut cakes, she needs a day.
