“They’re too pretty to eat” is what I hear almost everyone say when they first look at my desserts. I’m Priyanka Poddar, founder of Knead Some Love NY. Knead Some Love NY was born in my tiny apartment kitchen amidst the global pandemic, with a few bucks, a desire to build something truly unique and an obsession to bring a piece of my culture to the world through my unique fusion pastries.
Being a first generation American-Indian, I’ve taken my love for quintessential Indian desserts and married them to traditional American Donuts & Bundt cakes. It’s the perfect confluence between the East and West, and that’s my biggest differentiator from a traditional donut/ pastry. While desserts cater to our impulse for indulgence, the industry is saturated with the good old chocolate flavors and I quickly learnt it needed something different.
I chose creativity over crisis - had an idea - found a niche and ran with it. I’m constantly challenging and re-inventing myself to transform my baked goods into beautiful works of art and can confidently say a large part of my inspiration is drawn from my culture!
