India’s favourite artisanal bakery brand, The Baker’s Dozen (TBD), has unveiled its most accessible and innovative baked treat yet – the Zero Maida Donut Cake. This guilt-free indulgence combines the delicious texture of a donut with the wholesome feel of a cake, all while being baked – not fried – and made entirely without maida, refined sugar, palm oil or artificial colours.
Crafted using only real ingredients and packed with choco-goodness, this single-serve donut cake is a game-changer for both health-conscious adults and parents looking for better snacking choices for their kids. It’s a convenient option for school tiffins, quick hunger pangs during the day, or even a mid-work sweet break. And to make things more exciting for the little ones, each pack includes a fun, complimentary sticker inside – adding playfulness to every bite.
The launch reflects The Baker’s Dozen’s commitment to creating honest, quality-first bakery products that are both innovative and accessible. Already a household name in the premium baking segment with its preservative-free cakes, artisanal cookies and sourdough breads, TBD is now tapping into the mainstream with a wholesome product aimed at reaching wider audiences across India.
“Our aim was to give every consumer – young or old – access to a healthy yet indulgent snack. With this product, we’re entering a much larger market and offering something that aligns with what people really want today: real food, no nasties, and convenience,” shared Sneh Jain, Co-founder and MD of The Baker’s Dozen. He added that this launch is a strategic step towards scaling the brand’s revenue significantly in the next few years.
Echoing this vision, Aditi Handa, Co-founder and Head Chef at TBD, said, “With summer around the corner and schools set to reopen soon, we wanted to create a snack that parents could confidently add to lunchboxes. It’s flavourful, nutritious, and loved by both kids and adults. Why should wholesome, satisfying treats have age limits?”
As urban consumers increasingly lean toward healthier alternatives, the Indian bakery market is undergoing a shift. Valued at $12.6 billion in 2023 and projected to grow to $29.4 billion by 2032, the demand for clean-label, nutritious baked goods is rapidly rising. TBD’s newest offering fits right into this wave, reaffirming the brand’s position at the forefront of India’s evolving food culture.
Beyond the product itself, TBD continues to lead with its sustainable practices. From optimising delivery routes to partnering with Climes for carbon offsetting, the brand is reducing its environmental footprint one step at a time.
Available now across major quick commerce platforms like Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart, as well as in local kirana stores and retail outlets across Mumbai and Ahmedabad, the Zero Maida Donut Cake is set to make wholesome snacking fun, easy and widely accessible.
About The Baker’s Dozen
Founded in 2013 by husband-wife duo Sneh Jain and Aditi Handa, The Baker’s Dozen began as a passion project in Mumbai with the vision to offer high-quality, authentic bread to Indian consumers. Today, with a state-of-the-art facility near Ahmedabad and presence in over 50 cities, TBD is India’s largest artisanal bakery brand. Whether it's sourdough bread, preservative-free cakes, or now the innovative donut cake – TBD continues to redefine the standards of healthy indulgence in the Indian bakery industry.

Founded in 1957, JK Masale has built a legacy of purity, trust, and authenticity for over six decades. The journey began with the late Shri Dhannalal Jain, fondly called the “Jeera King,” and has grown into one of India’s most respected spice brands, known for its uncompromising commitment to quality.
Today, JK Masale proudly announced Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan as its brand ambassador. The partnership is rooted in shared values and legacy. Saif, a member of one of India’s celebrated royal families and a highly respected actor, brings the perfect balance of heritage and modern appeal. His credibility, charm, and sophistication reflect the journey of JK Masale, where tradition meets evolving tastes.
“In Saif Ali Khan, we see a reflection of our own journey,” said Ashok Jain, Managing Director of JK Masale. “His royal lineage, refined persona, and the trust he commands make him a natural fit for a brand like ours. This partnership goes beyond endorsement, it is a union of legacies, where tradition and modern taste come together.”
The campaign featuring Saif Ali Khan will centre around three key themes:
Royalty & Heritage – JK Masale’s six-decade presence in Indian kitchens mirrors Saif’s cultural and cinematic lineage.
Authenticity & Trust – The brand’s reputation for purity and consistency across generations aligns with Saif’s trusted public presence.
Modern Sophistication – Both the brand and Saif embody a refined sensibility that appeals to the new-age consumer.
This partnership comes at a transformative moment for JK Masale. With a major investment in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Jaipur, the brand is embracing cutting-edge technology. The upcoming plant will house advanced grinding units, cold storage, and precision packaging systems, enhancing production capacity by 1480 tonnes per month to meet rising domestic and international demand.
With a strong presence across India, JK Masale also exports to countries including the UK, South Korea, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Bhutan. The association with Saif Ali Khan underlines the brand’s vision to honour its legacy while stepping confidently into the future through innovation and expansion.
