Sticky Toffee Cupcakes! 🧁
My college friend is visiting from New Jersey and she mentioned her favorite lately has been the famous British dessert, Sticky Toffee Pudding. And that’s all the convincing I needed to get these in the oven. 🥳 The cupcakes have yummy soft dates, which give contribute to the “sticky” in these cupcakes. These are further drenched in homemade toffee sauce and topped with my Italian Meringue Buttercream (plus more Toffee sauce 😋). These turned out to be one of the BEST cupcakes I’ve made lately! 🤩

Baking PooranPoli bread with my sister! Our cousins are visiting and I thought baking this sweet bread by would be a great experience for my sister who loves to cook/bake. She was amazing at it and wanted to understand the basics behind dough making. I mean, look at that filling spiral and the beautiful rise on that loaf! 😍 Can you believe it was her first time making bread?

Chai Shortbread Cookies with Mocha drizzle & Lemon Shortbread Cookies with White Chocolate drizzle. Sounds yum, right?! 😋
My job has become more demanding and I’m still working on the utility box painting. I’ve not found much time for myself lately, let alone baking. 🥲 These shortbread cookies bake so quick, it was such a mood uplifter. This recipe is versatile, you can basically make shortbreads of any flavor!

Ingredients:16 tbsp (227g) salted butter, at room temperature1 cup (113g) confectioners' sugar2 tsp vanilla extract1/4 tsp almond extract, or the flavor of your choice2 cups (240g) all purpose flour

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 300°F. Lightly grease your baking pans and line them with parchment paper
In a bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and extracts (or your flavoring agents; I added chai masala and lemon zest), then beat in the flour. The mixture may seem a little dry at first; keep beating until a stiff dough forms
Divide the dough in half and press each half into one of the prepared pans, smoothing the surface with your fingers or a mini rolling pin. Cover the dough with a wrap if it sticks to the rolling pin
Use a fork to prick the dough all over; this allows any steam to escape. Bake the shortbread until it's a light golden brown, about 35 minutes
Remove the shortbread from the oven and turn it out of the pans. Immediately cut the shortbread, while it's warm. Transfer the shortbread wedges or strips to a rack to cool

My very first logo is here, yay!!! 🤩 This definitely calls for a speech, so here I go.. ahem.. As far as follower count goes, this page might not look like much but I’ve made very meaningful connections over here with some of you and that means so much to me! Sometimes I get DMs from total strangers who found me through word of mouth/over IG; there is definitely a bounce in my step those days. 😊

I’d like to sincerely thanks Mr. D for my growth over the last two years. You might just see my efforts on this page but it’s Mr. D who cooks for us when I’m busy baking or painting. He does most of the wood work and comes up with stunning ideas for our projects/my reels. And most importantly, he keeps me sane. 😇 He has been pushing me to make this logo and come up with a menu since the longest time and hopefully I did a fine job. 😁

This logo embodies the spirit of this page in my opinion. There are paint accessories, few basic DIY tools and baking tools at the center of it all. I hope you love it as much as I do! 🥰

Thanks for sticking around! Sending hugs and kisses all around! 🥰

Special thanks to for helping me create this!

A few days before leaving, we finished the whirlpool bath installation in our backyard.✨
Our landscaper cut put a hole in our deck, fit the whirlpool bath right in front of our master bedroom. We took a few dips in the hot tub before leaving for India and it was so dreamy! 😍
I’m yet to decorate the pergola my way. I plan on putting some string lights (duh, obviously) and some plants+decor to make it a cozier space. 😊 I might even do a mural on the pergola at some point. 😋

Choco-Hazel Cake for my friends at .world. 🥰🍫 These two are some of the greatest chocolate lovers that I know (after Mr. D of course 💁🏻‍♀️) so baking their birthday cake is always so easy. It’s chocolate chocolate and more chocolate with a touch of Hazelnut 🌰 I decorated with some and just because I had them handy. Don’t they look so extravagant 🌟

Have you been baking since childhood/Who taught you how to bake; probably the most common questions I get. ❓
I think the credit goes to my Mummy, she would bake often and always assign small chores to me.🧁 At home, baking cakes was always a celebration and I loved licking raw batter, still do.😋
I stopped baking (or assisting) once I left home but would always dream of owning a bakery once I grew up. I remember my craziest bake was when I was working in Bangalore. I really wanted to bake for a friend but had no access to an oven. So I made the batter at home and rushed to office at 7am in the morning (with the batter in a baking pan in my hands) to bake the cake in my cafeteria's microwave.🤣
I still wish to open a bakery some day, a girl can only dream.💭
Oh and, the cake I baked in my office was a huge success; I frosted it at home and decorated it with cherries and shaved chocolate flakes. It was a black forest cake.😇

Featured here are my Eggless Rose Pistachio Cake Sandwiches. 🧁

Eggless Cereal Milk Cupcakes! 🧁
I had heard about 's MILK BAR] and was so incredibly intrigued by the concept of making desserts with Cereal Milk in place of just Milk, but not sure what took me so long to try to bake one.🥛 I devoured the Cereal Milk ice cream and Birthday Cake at MILK BAR] in New York and couldn’t stop thinking about them for a sec. 🤤 I think I want to try Cereal Milk with sprinkles next, so tempting! 🤪
This cupcake is now up in my list of favorite cupcakes ever. Can't wait to bake a cereal birthday cake for someone soon. Any volunteers?🤭
Oh and, I modified the recipe to create my own eggless one and guess what? The eggless cupcake was even better than the one with egg!! Go figure 😲

Mocha Chip biscotti! 🍪
I love desserts which start off as one thing but then become something entirely else! The batter for these biscottis was the most difficult batter I've ever handled, sticky and all over the place. But baked in the oven twice and these turned into stunning crunchy cake pieces! 😍 Chocolate chips + coffee, best enjoyed dipped in your morning coffee. ☕ 😋
Can't wait to bake many more flavors!!
