WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
TIA SINGH KHANNA
"Arwa is now family. We cannot imagine our children’s birthdays without her cake. Every year we discuss the design in great detail and every year she devotes herself to that process to tell a little story about my babies through their birthday cakes. She is immensely talented and the best part is, her cakes taste even better than they look! Now that’s saying something! #TiasSecretFlavour"

If I could give Arwa 10 stars I would.. I searched all of Dubai to find someone to help me make a cinnamon cake for my husband and they all refused.. and couldn’t deliver on my vision for the cake.. and the places I found were yes maybe a little less expensive but my god does she deserve every dirham! And it was for the quality of the work a very reasonable price!! Arwa is an artist- she is kind, courteous and has an amazing eye for details. She helped guide me in the vision I had for the cake and the outcome was outstanding. Thank you so much Arwa!

ABOUT
Hi! My name is Arwa Federal. I am a baker and cake artist based in Dubai, UAE. What began as being the occasional helper in my mother's kitchen became an ever-growing passion I poured into my studio, Arwa Federal Cakes. From the moment I took in the smell of freshly baked cakes and cookies that spread to each corner of the house, I knew I wanted to be a baker.
My family has always been integral to my support system. However, my teachers thought I jeopardised my career by enrolling in a Hotel Management Degree program. Dismissing their views, I decided to do so to aid my career.
I completed my last semester of college in Switzerland, after which I returned to Dubai to work at a five-star property as a Commis (Junior) Chef in the pastry kitchen. But, the environment proved to be more overpowering than I anticipated. The mix of long hours, extensive physical effort and complicated work politics began to have a negative mental impact on me. I realised this wasn't the job for me
and started working independently. I first drafted recipes, then moved on to sample cakes for friends and family. My first order dates back to the 22nd of November, 2005: a black forest cake.
I continued to work on my skills by attending workshops all over Dubai led by international cake artists. Sugar crafting was the first medium I explored. Throughout the years of my career, I have never stopped learning; the next day comprises something different than the last. That is what motivates me.
