“Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we’re here we should dance.”

collage2 So here’s what found its way on the menu for the daughter’s birthday. Some I have posted before & the rest I shall put into words by & by.

I made the stuff over a period of 3-4 days. The fact that its winter here & freezing cold helped ‘coz its so much easier make stuff in advance. There were Sugar cookies made in four different avatars out of the same dough; Mini Vanilla Cupcakes topped with a buttercream icing & chocolate embellishments; Tartlets with either chocolate ganache & marzipan decorations, or buttercream & chocolate embellishments; Mushroom canapes; Corn canapes, Dip with chips & veggies ; Cheese cookies; Jam tarts…& of course our ‘Yin Yang Chocolate Cake’!

collage1All in all, quite a mad tea party with boisterous 12teens & 2 naughty lads!!

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

    I have been spending a lot of time on your site lately – I am about to try the fondant – waiting for the key ings to reach me

    Meanwhile I want to try the marzipan decorations – a bday is coming up, and i am hopeful, even tho my last 2 attempts at this flopped.

    also, you mentioned mushroom and corn canapes and i would love the filling recipes – i have a pretty good tart pastry recipe already.
