Let's just say, Shivesh Bhatia is the reason your midnight cravings have gone from casual to couture.

The baker-extraordinaire has been sprinkling his sweet magic all over our feeds, making us believe we could bake matcha chocolate chip cookies as easily as we make instant noodles.

With five million followers across social media platforms, a Forbes 30 Under 30 badge, and four bestselling cookbooks, Shivesh is living the dream—one perfectly frosted cake at a time.

His baking journey started like most of ours—experimenting in his kitchen as a teenager. The difference? He never stopped. "At the time, being a guy and baking wasn't really considered a career option. I was also studying political science in college, but baking kept calling me back," he says.

By the end of college, Shivesh decided to go all in. "It was scary, sure, but I knew I couldn't see myself doing anything else," he says.
