Valentine’s Day Fix- Bake!
It’s Valentine’s weekend, and how can the concept of love be complete without food? Here’s a little something about me- display of emotions makes me uncomfortable, creeps me out even. I can’t do the movie-dinner dates thing, especially not on Valentines. I usually compensate for being a bad person by baking- which explains my presence […]
Let’s Bake!- Christmas Specials at Courtyard By Marriott City Centre,Pune
Courtyard by Marriott City Centre Pune held another baking class this Sunday and of course I was a part of it! For the longest time I thought I’d not be able to make it since I’ve not been keeping well, but meh. When it comes to passion, I do tend to go out of my […]
Lakeland by Westside- Phoenix Market City, Pune
Glitter, pink and cupcakes on a Saturday afternoon- you have to be absolutely mental to refuse such an invitation. Hence it should come as no surprise that I said yes the minute The Tiny Taster, a.k.a. Roxanne Bamboat asked me if I’d like to come bake with her and the Lakeland team at the store […]
Cake Decor

Thanks to Chef Gerwin many of us now know the tricks and trade of baking the perfect cheesecake, the soft […]
Pick Me Up!
Tiramisu in Italian means “Pick me up” And what better way than creamy mascarpone mousse and lady fingers soaked in coffee? (The alcoholic version can be made with rum or kahlua) I do not have words to describe this recipe. I honestly thought this would be time consuming and complicated. I’m out of words […]
ShortBread Cookies
You can never go wrong with a plain, delicious, buttery batch of shortbread cookies. These cookies are always favorites at tea-parties, Christmas parties and are great to store in your homes too! I let out a little squeal when I tasted the fresh ones right out of the oven,“ How could I make something […]
A Cheesy Story
When it comes to cheesecakes, I like mine plain and simple; no extra frills. A plain Jane- no whipped cream, no fruits, no jams, nothing. Just a crumbly biscuit base, and a cheesy cake. Once in a while I do like to experiment with flavors too- I’ve had some brilliant raspberry, blueberry and mango cheesecakes […]
