Yellow Cupcakes with Chocolate Malt Frosting | The Novice Housewife

Its been exactly a month since I last posted.

Between packing, traveling, helping my father-in-law fight elections, visiting parents, power cuts and then doing a pop up show in Goa amidst other stuff, I haven’t had much time to update this space.

I am still in Goa with my niece, brother and sister-in-law but hope to be slightly more regular with blogging than what I have been the past few days.

The weekend that went by, my sister in law and I did a pop up show in Goa. A close friend of my sister-in-laws owns an online clothing store called Brahma Karma and with the help of my sister-in-law wanted to introduce the brand to the people of Goa.

Brahma Karma is the brain child of Swati Sharma, who designs and manufactures exclusive hand block printed clothes and lifestyle products. Her products ranging from comforters, baby blankets to clothing for men, women and children, all come in very unique fun prints. You have the telephone print pyjamas and kids shirts, fish kurtas, number shorts, lollipop print kurtis and many other unconventional designs. All of BrahmaKarma’s printing is done using discharge dyes that are completely azo free and can sustain maximum number of washes.

Along with clothes, BrahmaKarma also sells handcrafted jewellery, comforters, baby blankets and upholstery material. Do check their Facebook page for more information on their designs and how to order them.

Since I was in town visiting my brother and sister-in-law I thought it will be fun to sell some of my baked goodies along with the clothes. So there were brownies, red velvet cupcakes, eggless death by chocolate cupcakes, vanilla cupcakes with champagne frosting, and yellow cupcakes with chocolate malt frosting at the pop up show.

I also put some homemade decorated cookies on sale- chocolate heart shape cookies, brush embroidered chocolate and vanilla cookies, basket cookies and daisy cookies.

Leaving you with a few photographs of the stuff I put up and hopefully I will be back with a recipe post soon.

Trouble comes in threes. Caught a cold and with that a sore throat, fever and body ache (and the reason why I am up late at this hour since I was out the whole day sleeping under the effect of the cough syrup). Then my foot has been aching for a while and have no idea why, making standing a pain. Also, mother nature planned to visit me with its monthly gift at the exact same time while all this was happening.

And if all that wasn’t enough I have to start packing! Those of you who know me or have read this blog post would know that I absolutely hate (with a capital H) packing. Its right next to washing a pressure cooker and lizards on the “Things I Hate” list.

But then I had to get this post out before I leave and announce the winner of the giveaway I hosted. I used random.org to generate a number and the winning comment is Carolsue Anderson’s. Congratulation Carolsue- I will be contacting you soon.
