Pune’s Prachi Dhabal Deb Makes History at Oxford University with Royal Icing Art
Pimpri chichwad: Recently, the UK held its India Week, a lively celebration of Indian culture and its impactful contributions. One of the standout figures was Pune-based cake artist Prachi Dhabal Deb, who was celebrated for her extraordinary expertise in Royal Icing Art.
Prachi’s talent was recognized at prestigious venues, including Oxford University, where she was honored as the first cake artist ever to receive such an accolade. This recognition was further elevated when she was presented with an award by Navin Shah CBE at the House of Commons, UK Parliament.
Reflecting on her achievements, Prachi expressed her deep appreciation, stating, “Being recognized for something I am so passionate about is truly humbling. The path has been challenging, yet incredibly fulfilling.”
With over a decade dedicated to the art of royal icing, Prachi’s journey began with studies in London. Her achievements include three world records certified by the World Book of Records, London: a 100 kg cake inspired by the Milan Cathedral, the highest number of vegan royal icing structures, and a 200 kg edible palace modeled with vegan royal icing.
Prachi’s commitment to vegan artistry demonstrates her belief in the potential of vegan alternatives to create stunning and grand designs. “I am driven to showcase that vegan royal icing can rival traditional methods in beauty and scope,” she shared.
Currently based in Pimpri Chinchwad, Pune, Prachi stands as a beacon of creativity and innovation in cake artistry. Her work not only pushes the boundaries of confectionery art but also inspires others to embrace new possibilities within the culinary world.
