Days run so fast... 2014 Gnanakshi Ganesan came for my baking classes and by 2016 she joined me as an intern and came down with me for a workshop to Trivandrum. Loved her work and passion towards whatever she had taken up. She had under gone training in  @lavonneacademyindia and  developed her skills. Yesterday I was happy to see her at home. She has come with some packs of dark chocolates which they make at Earth loaf and currently working there as a chocolatier. I just loved the extraordinary flavor and taste of artisan chocolates she got for me. Wishing her all the best!!

I would say to always follow your dream. And dream big because my whole career, including any of the things that I've accomplished,I never thought in years that I would be here. So it just proves that once you believe in yourself, and you put your mind to something, you can do it. Starting a new journey with Decoupage

I absolutely adore baking with kids . It's super fun since I love baking. On 25th April I had a group of kids turned up from @seventeen etiquette school Trivandrum to learn Cupcake, Vanilla Cake and Egg sandwich, it was the part of the etiquette course done by  Elizabeth Basil Joseph One way of teaching our kids the proper way of anything is showing them how it is done. A great time to start kids off is when they are young. Cooking With Kids from the ages 4-16, the safe wa y to hold a knife without hurting your hand and using the oven without burning your fingers. It's a art, a passion, a love and respect towards food.
