Caramel Cupcake

After two month of savoury delights the Daring Bakers are now back to pleasing their sweet tooth with a Caramel Cake. Shuna Fish Lydon of Eggbeater is a pastry chef and she has created the recipe.   Since I’ve been on a sugar high in the last couple of days, I decided I’d halve the recipe and […]

White Chocolate Oreo Cupcakes

This post is not just about Oreo cupcakes but about how blogging connects you with like minded folks. It’s astounding how someone halfway around the world has so much more in common with you than you would have ever thought. Let me tell you how I met my new blogger buddy. I used to enjoying […]

Easy Peasy Apple Galettes

Beautiful autumn evenings through last week got me in the mood to make some apple galettes. I’ve always been a pie person – crumbly crust sitting in pretty while pie dishes with the traditional lattice that adds its quintessential charm. This time I decided to make galettes instead and realised how much fun they were […]

Potato Dill Bread

It has been aptly stated by James Beard that “Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods; and good bread with fresh butter, the greatest of feasts.” Every once in a while when I don’t have the time to cook or bake, I go through my collection of food books. I especially enjoy […]

Chocolate Cherry Cake

Last week, I made the most moist and delicious cake. And the reason I’m so happy about it is because it was an experiment and it turned out to be so lovely. I’m very wary of proportions when it comes to baking, because there have been times when things just didn’t go as planned. But […]

Danish Braid – I’m no longer afraid!

Such a corny title. But so apt. Pastry has always intimidated me. I always thought that only pro-bakers or high end machinery could give some good pastry dough. Luckily for me; this myth was shattered after I made a Danish Braid for this month’s Daring Baker challenge. This month’s challenge I hosted by Ben of […]
