June 30th 2015 marks 16 years since my Appa passed away. It feels like a lifetime. There are days it feels like it happened yesterday. Loss is like that. Some days you move through life unburdened by it. Other days it cuts you to the core and the memories are strong. I am grateful I went on my life journey with him. I learned so much about life. Wish he was here to see me and guide me now. Missing my Appa  frown emoticon  — with  Marvin Stephen Gomez  and  Martin Stephen Gomez . Appa - Younger Days Appa -  Family Time

I'm in the mood for more cake experiments. Last week I tried out a Classic Chocolate Cake recipe and I came out very good. This time, I've decided to make pineapple and coconut ring cake. This is a simple cake recipe which uses pineapple, and coconut - and it turned out to be delicious! If you want to add more taste and looks, you can do top frosting. You can also try a light sprinkle of toasted coconut. And, now it's your turn to try this cake during the week.After you make this cake in your home, share the pics, results and don't forget to share the cake with your friends or neighbors.  Ring of Delight A ring cake always looks impressive and is very easy to serve.

I treasure a quaint love with Hyderabad city. It's the city where I experienced and encountered many things for the first time in my life. Thought I move of this place, I still treasure many aspects of this city - my college years at St Francis. The way we used to bunk classes to see movies, or how a group of friends used to stroll aimlessly, etc, etc. It's here where I got the first job as a clerk. And, now I'm rediscovering this city. It's a place where I get a chance to meet so many new faces when I come down to conduct my baking and icing workshop . I wish to see and explore more of Hyderabad that I had missed in those years. I'll keep posting the places and experiences I have of this buzzing town.
