Hi Everyone... I made this cake sometime back for a little girl "Anya" on her 8th B'day...This was on an extremely short notice and had to complete it in two hours. I used a doll for the body and dressed her up in fondant and some daisies to add some glamour to her dress... Anya was very happy and that made my day...!!!

Once again a chocolate cake to satiate the taste buds... The chocolate cake has been adorned with orchids and anemone flowers.The "kairi/ambi" shape (comma, paisley for my English viewers) has always been an obsession.. I often use it for Alpanas..( making patterns with rice flour paste on auspicious occasions) and embroideries... Well, how long could this childhood obsession stay away from my

I made this Chocolate Cake for a small gathering at home yesterday. Though I have made several chocolate cakes before but this one turned out to be the best so far..Extremely moist, perfect taste and the right amount of sweetness... The verdict of the guests... "Mindblowing" ....I was happier for some other reason though .. :)) My brother-in-law had got me some very nice chocolate modelling paste

A long silence....... I agree its been a very long time since I posted something, or visited my blogger friends... Well, what kept me occupied and why the silence...Nothing really that kept me away from blogging except for some travels and one of those moods when you want to do " nothing ".. Guess, its been a nice relaxation and the yearning to blog is back!!Yes, I did only one cake in this

A cake made for Rakhi on my daughters wish.. Rakhi also called Raksha Bandhan (the bond of protection in Hindi) is a Hindu festival, which celebrates the relationship between brothers and sisters. The festival is marked by the tying of a rakhi, or holy thread by the sister on the wrist of her brother. The elder brother in return offers a gift to his sister and vows to look after her.

This is the English Nirvana Style of cake decorating which is not practised much today as it is very delicate and prone to breakages. Since this was a project, I used a cake dummy which is nothing but a polysterne drum but very good for practising and preserving too. I had to prepare the floating top collar which you see on the top and some panels which it stands on. I also did the picture in

 Dear Friends, This post is dedicated to Stella, who is not there with us anymore. Stella became a part of the SugarcraftIndia family in June 2007 at the Habitat Workshop. I remember Stella as a very quiet and attentive student with a very high skill level. Lets all pray for her and her family...May her soul rest in peace.
