Sweet food is one of life’s primeval joys. We all know that dessert isn’t strictly necessary; life isn’t going to end without it, but then who among us would choose to live only on bread and water? Dessert gave us something to look forward to as a child while we ploughed through our worthy meat and vegetables. It always brings a lovingly prepared meal to a close with a fanfare. While salty food sparks the appetite, sweet food soothes and caresses it, leaving us warm and contended. It is a luxury, an exquisite indulgence, something that gives us true pleasure but in a duller, greyer world is completely expendable. I have found that desserts are not mere trifles, they are truly essentially life enhancing.
Having learnt how to cook the main meal, it was time to progress from there. Hence I made the leap towards desserts. It was time to show off, amaze and thrill. There are moments in life when a simple bowl of ice cream just isn’t enough… you need something spectacular, awe inspiring and attention grabbing. I needed to create SHOW STOPPER. The wonderful thing about it is I got the best teachers to teach me the basics of dessert making. With extra time, patience and enthusiasm, I learnt to decorate it my way taking inspirations from various different sources.
My specialty is the cakes, which are soft and creamy inside and all edible outside. They usually have fruit fillings with exciting flavor combinations of spices, herbs, jellies, juices, liqueurs, custard, caramel and chocolate. I consider my baking the process of experimentation with whatever my heart and mind craves for. It doesn’t have any limits so far. Of course the outside has to be pretty but for me, so has to be the inside. Each piece is a work of lot of patience and imaginations.
Finally I was able to upload all my cake pictures on my website.
Enjoy.
