I am back again

I haven't been updating my blog for the last few months, But I hope to do so now. In the next 2-3 days, i will add all the cakes that I made during this time.

To begin with, I experimented with a butterscotch cake, which came out good. 

My dear friend was going to have a baby girl, and I made this eggless Pineapple cake with pineapple filling for her.  

 And of course,  how can I forget my friend's lovely daughter who was just a month away from turning 1. This was a cake for people with all sorts of allergy - This is Dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, soy-free chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

Valentines day was not far and the dance school kids from my daughter's class enjoyed the cupcakes. 

And to celebrate the day at home, we had  special cake. Red velevet cake with cream cheese frosting .. yummm!!!! 

More to follow .... till then.. enjoy !

Repeating Ganache

Winter makes you lazy. And I was lazy enough to download the pictures for last one month and update the blog!

My sister and her husband visited me in December. They had seen the Ganache cake pics and wanted me to make it for them! And so I did ! This time the Ganache was thicker, and I filled the cake with strawberry filling and ganache as well for a richer taste! The cake was also served at the new year party I hosted next day.



With the leftover ganache, I made chocolate truffles. Need to learn a lot to perfect that! Just made a few, but they were good to taste :)

(Un)successful cookie attempt

Part 1 : Successful Chocolate chip cookies

How can Santa go hungry when he delivers gifts! So, Mom and daughter duo baked cookies!

Santa loves chocolate cookies, and they came out yum :)

And Anisha was really a big helper, from measuring to cutting out the shapes, she helped me with every little bit! Not to forget keeping quiet so that Aashi keeps sleeping, and lets us bake .. LOL !!!! I must say, Santa was very pleased ;) The gifts say it all!!!!

Part 2: Unsuccessful Coconut cookies

Though tasty, the coconut cookies were a disaster for me :( I wish Anisha would have helped with these as well! The baked outcome was one big sheet of coconut dough, which I managed to cut into circles, to make it a little presentable.

But for a first attempt on both types of cookies, I think I fared just well enough that they were over pretty soon !

Bundt Cake

 Happy New Year everyone. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and enjoying the cold weather. What's better than baking to keep you warm !!

I baked a Bundt cake for Christmas, didnot decorate it, since we were going out of town, infact we cut it on the airport with friends! Orange eggless cake it is ! Came out really soft and moist, but the orange flavor was not as intense. Need to add more next time! It was all gone in a few minutes, given the fact that we were all starved at the airport as well !!
