New Updates, and Some of my Recent Work

Hello friends,

I am so very thankful to you all for your concerns and wishes.The happiest update is that Ananya has now adjusted well to the nursery.Today it is exactly one month since she started going.Today she waved a very happy "bye" to me.I felt so relieved I could have danced then and there!

In between,I managed to bake a few cakes,and decorate them.Here are a few snaps:

I baked this Van Cake for my friend M's son Neel.He turned 3 this year on 12th this month.He had a grand party with all the lovely food cooked by his mom.




Here is another peek:


I baked this Barbie cake for my friend D's daughter Aditi,who turned 2 on 17th this month.



Aside from that,I tried making Baklava for the first time from a recipe that I had copied into my computer long ago.I will post the recipe with my modifications in my next post.Take a look at the result:I had only made a small quantity,so I could not take pictures of individual pieces-they went direct from the pan to our mouths!:)


I am glad to say that I can be back to posting regularly now.Thank you all,once again,for your wishes.

Vini,


It is nice to see you back. I am happy that Ananya is adjusted to her school.

Both your cakes are very nice. Neel and Aditi must have had a nice time on their birthdays.
Your Baklava picture is mouth watering. Please post the recipe soon.

Good to know Ananya likes going to the nursery now. i had trouble with my little one too. It took her almost 2 months to adjust and then we went to india and it took her another month after we got back:))

Beautiful cakes! I just posted some cakes i baked for Ananya's bday. Take a look when you have the time.
