A bakery takeover
Good things happen when two bakeries collaborate. Mysuru-based Sapa will be in Mumbai’s Maska for a weekend takeover filled with inventive pastries, tarts and éclairs. Sapa is run by German baker Dina Weber and her menu features items inspired by her German roots. There’s a sausage pretzel roll with German bratwurst with creamy brie, bacon onion jam and mustard. The Peach Oma Torte is a homage to Weber’s grandmother with hazelnut sponge, peaches, orange blossom buttercream, peach curd and marzipan. Few items reflect th playful collaboration between Weber and Maska’s founder Heena Punwani. Don’t miss the rhubarb buckwheat tart, Earl Grey milk chocolate éclair and nougat cookies. The takeover will run from October 4 to 5. One can drop by at Maska bakery in Mahim or place orders for takeaways Friday onwards.
