I love cupcakes

My new learning for the month is baking. My first attempt was an amazingly simple apple crumble pie recipe from Edible Garden.
The second attempt (today) was cup cakes. Though they ended up resembling cookies (hence rechristened as cookie-cakes..hehe), they tasted yummy…so no complaints! :D

Birthday surprise

Last week was my first birthday post marriage and it was just FANTABULOUS !

Hubby showered me with lovely gifts throughout the week and then whisked me off on a vacation to Waynad (Kerala, India). On the birthday night at the stroke of midnight, he surprised me with a lovely cake. Surrounded by jungle, the sound of a waterfall in the background and hubby singing birthday songs…it was the loveliest birthday ever.
