Serious about cake pops



Pop bakery

A book with a bookmark of cake pops.
While the credit for the classic pop goes to Bakerella, the author has taken the idea forward applying the dynamic cake pop to faux icecream and popsicle pops.
The vibrant colours in the book bring about the festive atmosphere hinted in the title of the book and on the cover. Tiered cake pops is a cool idea.
Cake slice pops, animal pops, aeroplane pops... Many ideas like this. Now your kid doesnt have to have one single idea for a cake or choose between the many. You can make all of them as cake pops in one cake.
A tiered Display stand for the cake pops and others show how they can add to the aura of the pops and also how pops can build on the themes involved.
Paper roses is a new idea unlike the pompoms which has already been introduced by Martha S.

I knew Bunting only as a bird until now. The first buntings I remember are from independence day celebrations in India where the flags are stuck onto a rope made from jute with a flour paste

I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
