Hi There!
My love for baking is what led me to write this blog (along with the constant nagging from my aunt and my best friend!).
To say, one person inspired my passion for baking would not be entirely true. It originally was Nigella Lawson. Her simple and quick mouth-watering dishes excited and motivated me to try and achieve the same. Like Nigella, I too believe in going all-out and never skimping on anything while baking desserts! However, I owe whatever limited knowledge I have of the culinary industry to the universally loved show, Masterchef Australia. My mother and I follow each and every season, year after year, ardently. Bringing our dinner to the TV and eating our food while we watched home cooks like us compete by preparing and plating exotic dishes soon became a ritual and we managed to learn or pick up something new and innovative everyday.
Baking is one of the best ways I know to communicate. I show my love to friends and family by baking their favourite treats for them. Sometimes words just aren’t enough, but a warm cookie is! I am charmed by the idea that something as small and effortless as a cupcake can brighten someone’s day or the simplest of cakes, unite everyone to celebrate a joyous occasion.
Being a teenager and taking up baking as my hobby, I was quick to learn that I did not have the luxury of spending a fortune on my projects. So, I adapted and found or tweaked recipes to suit my requirements. Through this blog, I hope to show the simplicity of baking and how blending in a few staple ingredients can produce a magical treat for the palate.
My name is Shria, welcome to my blog!
