- 2. Baking? Yeah, My momused to bake simple cakes. And there’s nothing like fresh hot and home made food. I baked my first batch of cookies, in a microwave, when I was 16. It all started there!
- 3. Specialties? I wish Ican say I make everything best, but then I specialize in anything with chocolate – brownies, cakes, cookies, cup cakes !
- 4. Priya’s Feast? I startedblogging when I was in the US. After I came back, my friend Shalini and I used to attend workshops. I got in touch with many chefs, and would discuss recipes with them. My husband is with the rotary club and we have monthly meetings. For one such meeting, I was paid to make a 3 tier chocolate truffle cake. And that’s when I decided to go commercial.
- 5. HBG and Showcase? Iwas lucky to be a buyer in the previous two showcases. And I am participating this time. It’s a wonderful group and it’s good to see that the bakers are helping each other.
- 6. Biggest order? I madea 25 kg Christmas cake, in Dec 2010, for a NGO School.
- 7. CFG’s 8th anniversary,return gifts – your cup cakes were a hit! Decided just 4 days ahead that I’d do this. Back breaking and waist twisting work! No one at home believe that I’d be able to do it. Camera, Oven and Hand Beater were all at the service shop and reached only 2 days before the event. It was a dark chocolate cup cake and I baked day and night. Glad that it was a hit!
- 8. Ingredients? Most of thebasic ingredients are available locally. But there are some that I get from US. Friends and family bring them over when they travel.
- 9. Good luck !And See you at the Showcase!
