Hello Reader,

​

We are halfway through the year! Can time fly quicker?

This year is almost a replica of the last year(at least in India!) thanks to the second wave of you know what. Who knows when this will end. Hopefully, getting vaccinated will improve the situation. Please do complete vaccinations as soon as you can.

Staying safe at home is just getting unbearable day by day with the same daily routine. Are you feeling the same? What do you do to spruce up your routine?

Turning a year older

It was my birthday yesterday! I do not have any hesitation in sharing my age and if you want to know I turned 33 this year.

It is a bittersweet moment to celebrate your birthday as your age increases. Many of you reached out to me with your lovely wishes. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. It made me feel very special and blessed.

​

Here is a picture of my birthday cake decorated with wafer paper roses I made.

​

It was always on my mind to explore the art of making edible flowers and so, I enrolled in an online course to learn how to make wafer paper roses.

I did not want to dive in the sea of YouTube videos and keep on trying and learning.

​

So, I decided to give myself a little gift ahead of my birthday and girl, it was so worth it! What do you think? How real do my roses look?

​

A Birthday Gift

If you are following my work since the last year, you might be aware of The Baking Roadmap eCourse that I launched last year. It has all my expertise in one place.

​

Recently I decided to trim down the contents of the course and give it a nice haircut to make it better and you can say that I'm kind of relaunching the course with the most important lessons.

​

And as a birthday gift, I am offering a special price on two of my products.

On the blog this week, I have added a new recipe for Cocoa Powder Brownies.

​

Cocoa Powder Brownies

If you have ever made brownies, you must know that brownies need chocolate bars as an ingredient. But it happens that we do not have chocolate on hand and cannot arrange for them soon but still want to make brownies.

A delicious recipe to enjoy brownies when you do not have chocolate bars on hand. Click here to visit the recipe.

​

That was it for this week. I baked only my birthday cake this week and was occupied in making my first ever roses!(Oh, I'm so proud of them😌)

And so, next week there will not be any recipe post on the blog. But I'm going to share few cake business tips with you for improving your business.

​

Talk to you next week, Reader!
