YumsiliciousBakes is the result of my attempts to join my two favourite things - baking, and the internet. This site is a way to record my attempts - successful or not. If you're wondering about the yumsilicious part, that's just my way of giving the highest possible rating to a particular food item, and a word I absolutely love using, because if I'm saying it, it means I've found heaven. :-)
I've dappled at cake decorating, however I don't use it as much since everything I bake has to ultimately appeal to me, and I've somehow always found the rustic looking cakes much harder to resist.
I will work in the corporate world a few years, and then I hope to go to a culinary school once I've gained enough life experience, to ultimately open my own bakery back in Bombay.
For any PR or advertising inquiries, or to simply drop a hello [which I love], please email me at yumsiliciousbakes (at) gmail (dot) com

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and poked around a bit. Very cute!! I wish I had started cooking sooner. You're lucky to have gotten off to a great start so young!! I have a hard time baking. I live at high altitude so I normally just surf the baking blogs when I feel the urge to bake! :)
ReplyDelete-A
A: Thank you very much :) And as I say, it's NEVER too late, for anything!
ReplyDeleteJust search google for 'high altitude baking', and you'll get all the information and tips you need :) Feel free to send me a mail if you need any help with it.
Have you ever baked at high altitude that you're telling me I can turn to you for help? Just wondering!
ReplyDeleteA - No I haven't! But being courteous, I figured that I could help you, since I have tons of information on it! The remaining is up to you!
