Chef Pooja Dhingra bakes mint-chocolate birthday cake for Sonam Kapoor, shares BTS video

Celebrity pastry chef and entrepreneur Pooja Dhingra gave her followers a delightful behind-the-scenes look into the making of a special birthday cake for Bollywood star Sonam Kapoor. In an Instagram reel posted from her handle and her patisserie page @le15india, Pooja can be seen candidly chatting about the cake’s flavor choice — mint and chocolate — and asking followers whether they give it a thumbs up or down. “Mint and chocolate – is it a yes or a no?” she playfully asked in the caption, sparking a mini-debate in the comments section.

The birthday cake, created for Sonam Kapoor, was a striking visual treat. Drenched in a luscious dark chocolate glaze with artistic swirls, the cake was topped with gold-accented chocolate discs and rich chocolate triangles. The finishing touch? A fondant tag with “Happy Birthday Sonam” written in elegant piping. It looked as luxurious and glamorous as the star it was made for.

In the video, Pooja is seen in her kitchen outfit — a casual black tee and cap — as she excitedly walks her audience through the process. She also posted a heartfelt birthday wish for Sonam, writing, “Haaaappppy birthdayyyy @sonamkapoor ️ Loveeeee youuuuuuu.”

While mint and chocolate may not be everyone’s favorite duo, Pooja’s version seemed to win hearts — visually at least.
