Let Them Eat Cupcake!!

-
Today I feel like blogging so I am going to go on a roll and blog my heart out!! Who knows if I will be able to keep true to my word, the unreliable blogger that I am.
Thought you should also know about the adventure I mean to embark on in a month's time. I plan to give selling cupcakes a shot over the summer!!! I am super excited and immensely nervous to say the least.
I am going to make and sell the cupcakes from my home in Kolkata, India. Lets see how it works out for me...
Here are the posters I made for the sale. They have the Menu and everything. In the bleak possibility that any of you are in Kolkata between 20th May and 5th June PLEASE contact me!!! Thank you!! ^_^

Little Princesses

I have to attribute my absence to my internship at Flurys. It is a six week internship that is part of my curriculum and I am exactly midway at three weeks. Confectionery has always been the dream so I opted to train at a stand-alone bakery and confectionery. In the city of Kolkata what better confectionery to train with than Flurys?  I have learned a lot in these three weeks alone and no doubt will continue to learn much more by the time this internship concludes. Numerous speciality cake orders are placed at Flurys every single day. Birthday cakes uncountable with the occasional anniversary and wedding. Children's birthday cakes are ordered by their parents everyday and the little girl inside me feels a sense of satisfaction every time I see a finished birthday cake before the birthday girl. A pattern I have been noticing is that parents of girls below 5 years of age choose to get princess themed cakes made for their daughters with dominant shades of pinks and pur

Peter Gilmore's Eight Texture Cake Had an extremely tiring morning in the Patisserie Practical Class today. Well for obvious reasons. Considering my classmate Sukanya and I took up the task of recreating Peter Gilmore's Eight Texture Cake. Yes. That dreadfully complicated and sort of dramatic dessert we all saw on Master Chef Australia. Let's just say it is not that easy to keep your head when you have to make eight different and complicated desserts elements in less than 5 hours. We had to make a Cake Base, Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Hazelnut Dacquoise, Chocolate Caramel Vanilla Ganache, Chocolate Caramel Cream Milk Chocolate Praline Disc, Dark Chocolate Disc and Hot Chocolate Sauce.  Well we slogged, panicked, rushed and almost gave up, but with a lot of help from all our other classmates and by the strength of our wills we got through the preparation day. We did not finish all 8 elements, but the 6 most time consuming ones are done. Both the chocolate di

Popsicles are Forever

Do colourful, icy popsicles take you back to sticky, hot, summer afternoons of your childhood? If it does, this post is bound to take you down memory lane to the good ol' days of happiness, innocence and ignorant bliss! Even if popsicles don't ring a nostalgic bell in your mind, this post is bound to pull at all the right cords in your sugar-addicted soul. Before we fall into a nostalgic coma, lets talk about what popsicles actually are.   A  popsicle , ice candy ,   ice lolly ,   ice cream stick ,  freeze pop ,   ice block ,   icy pole ,  chihiro  or  ice pop  is a water-based frozen dessert. It is made by freezing flavored liquid, such as fruit juice  around a stick. Artificial food colouring and flavouring substances are very commonly used to give the brightness and sweetness so reminiscent of popsicles. Growing up in an all-girls' school in Kolkata, popsicles were known as ice cream sticks (EVEN when they were non-dairy ice lollies) and the absolute trademark
