Surprise! Surprise! I am here with a post other than GMT!! And its got to do with sugar cookies. These particular decorated sugar cookies. Number shaped sugar cookies.
In my previous posts I mentioned about my new venture in cake decorating The Pink CakeBox, and since I do not get time to cook or shoot what I cook I had mentioned that I will try to post about my caking adventures on the blog when I get the time. So here it is. Number shaped decorated cookies that I did for a client. And then another one. And then another one.
The design is not my original and it was sent to me by the client. Coincidentally her daughter’s name is also Zara. I have tried to find the person who did these cookies originally to give credit but after spending a substantial amount of time on google and pinterest this is what I found and probably where my client got the image from. Since the image is uploaded by the user I am not sure if it is hers so I will just post a link to the pin.
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.
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.
The Best seller- Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
The decorated cookies all packed and ready to be taken.
If you have been following the little I have been posting about my India trip, then you would know the last few months I have spent mostly traveling from one city to the other to attend one or the other of my friends’ weddings. My trip would not have been this stress free had it not been for my dad’s staff officers who made sure I had someone to pick me up and drop me off at the airport/railway station, who got up at 5 am to check whether I was up and ready to leave for the next destination, who made sure that I got a packed lunch or dinner for train journeys; in a nutshell, they are the ones who made sure everything else was arranged so I could enjoy with my friends or family. They went over and above their job and I know no matter how much I thank them it will not be enough.
I thought of sending them a small token of appreciation for the effort they put in and homemade cookies looked like the perfect thing to give.
Its the Air Force life that has taught me that family means more than blood relatives. So it did not come as a surprise when one of the officers to whom I gave these cookies said, that you don’t thank family.And seriously, that’s what these people are to me. Family.
