Birthday cake and cupcakes for Nao!


It was 23rd May 2014. The next day would be Nao's (my sister's boyfriend) birthday.
He loves cheesecake. So, I bought all the ingredients to make it except for the cream cheese. It is so difficult to get cream cheese and sour cream to get in Delhi. My sister said let's drop the cheese cake. We will buy it from a bakery and that's what we did.

No baking the cheesecake so baked cupcakes the night of the pre-birthday following a recipe that I found on Pinterest.

A sponge cake the next day. I wanted to try my hand at making cream frosting. I bought Amul cream and tried making a cream frosting out of it. I added cocoa powder to give it some colour (how stupid was that!). I added icing sugar and started whipping at high speed using a hand blender. The milk cream didn't get any creamy or frosty...it was still liquid with little bit of foam. It tasted weird...milky and the cocoa taste...but used it anyway...

Here's how the cake looks after decoration with the not-so-good cream frosting and few white and dark chocolate chips.

My baking spree/Overindulgence!


Greatly influenced and inspired by the food and cookery show sprouting on TV, I have always wanted to try my hands on baking...wishing to have an oven, wear the oven gloves and take out the delicious smelling food at the sound of the "ting" that tells you food is ready...

I finally bought myself a Morphy Richards 40 cc OTG and went on a baking and cooking spree. These pictures show my extrme behaviour or call it overindulgence!!!

This is prepared by following the steps given with a cake mix that I got from the market (I forgot the brand name).
This one is grilled mutton (after being marinated with yoghurt, chilli powder, turmeric, ans salt).
This roast chicken is inspired by Gordon Ramsay. He used Cannellini beans and sausages for the stuffing...I used lobia and giblets instead.
For this cake, I followed the recipe that I found at this amazing blog
I got the recipe from this site
For these muffins, I got the recipe from site

I am a happy woman now...for now...before the next frenzy of craziness strikes me. :D
