🚫 STOP! I will name and shame. 🚫

I never thought I would have to write a post like this, but here we are. Throughout this year, I have encountered countless instances where people and businesses have crossed the line. It's beyond frustrating and completely unprofessional when individuals or companies pretend to be someone else or manipulate others into contacting me for their own gain.

I am honestly fed up with it. My time is valuable, and so is my energy. I have always been an open person, understanding the real struggles of running a baking business, and I am always willing to help if I can. But I will not tolerate dishonesty and disrespect towards me any longer.

Consider this a fair warning: next time this happens, I will not hesitate to name and shame. It's time to put an end to these deceitful practices.

If you genuinely need assistance or guidance, I am more than happy to help. But let's keep it honest and respectful.

Rant over. 😤

🍪 Baking Fail Alert! 🍪

Hey friends! Today started off on such a positive note, as I was feeling super organized and ahead of schedule in the kitchen. But alas, my baking adventure took an unexpected turn when my cookies refused to cooperate! 😔

I'm scratching my head, wondering what went wrong. It seems like the temperature was just too high, and my poor cookies suffered the consequences. It's disheartening when your efforts don't yield the desired results, but hey, it happens to the best of us, right?

But you know what they say, "Less speed, more haste." I guess I got a little too excited and rushed through the process, neglecting to double-check the oven temperature. Lesson learned!

Although this baking fail has left me feeling a bit sad, I'm determined to turn it into a learning experience. So, my fellow bakers, let's take this opportunity to teach and learn from each other. Have you ever encountered a similar situation? What did you do to fix it or prevent it from happening again?

Remember, we all have our baking mishaps, but that doesn't mean we should give up. Together, we can overcome any baking challenge and create delicious treats that will make our taste buds dance with joy! 🎉

So, chin up, my friends! All will be good. Let's keep experimenting, sharing our experiences, and supporting each other on this baking journey. Together, we'll conquer the kitchen and create mouthwatering masterpieces! 🍰✨

🍰🎂 My 5 Top Tips for Fluffy Cakes! 🎂🍰

Hey there, baking enthusiasts! 🌟 Are you ready to take your cake game to the next level? Today, I'm sharing my top 5 tips for achieving the fluffiest, most heavenly cakes ever! 🤩✨ So grab your aprons and let's dive right in! 🙌

1️⃣ Use Cake Flour: When it comes to achieving that light and airy texture, cake flour is your secret weapon! Unlike all-purpose flour, cake flour has a lower protein content, resulting in a softer and more tender crumb. So, next time you're baking, reach for that cake flour and watch your cakes rise to new heights! 🌾

2️⃣ Creaming Method: The creaming method is a classic technique that helps incorporate air into your batter, resulting in a fluffy and moist cake. Start by beating your butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This process creates tiny air pockets that expand during baking, giving your cake that delightful fluffiness we all crave! 🥚🧈

3️⃣ Don't Overmix: While it's important to ensure all your ingredients are well combined, overmixing can lead to a dense and tough cake. Once you've added your dry ingredients, mix until just combined. This will prevent gluten formation and keep your cake light and tender. Remember, a few lumps are totally fine! 😉🥄

4️⃣ Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room temperature ingredients is crucial for achieving a fluffy cake. Cold ingredients can hinder the creaming process and prevent proper incorporation of air. So, make sure to take your eggs, butter, and milk out of the fridge ahead of time. Your cakes will thank you! 🥚🧈🥛

5️⃣ Proper Leavening Agents: Baking powder and baking soda are essential for creating that perfect rise in your cakes. Make sure your leavening agents are fresh and active to ensure optimal fluffiness. If your cakes tend to fall flat, it might be time to replace those baking powder and baking soda containers! 🥄🔬

There you have it, my friends! 🌟✨ With these 5 tips up your sleeve, you'll be well on your way to baking the fluffiest, most heavenly cakes ever! So go ahead, experiment, and let your creativity soar in the kitchen. Remember, the joy is in the journey and the deliciousness that awaits! Happy baking!

Hi Guys Happy Friday ❤️

Just a quick heads up, these are the cut off dates for the current collections online.

If you have any question not hesitate to give me a shout / DM.

My cut offs are my cut offs. 😁

So let me help you get ahead of everything.

.

I'd like to welcome you to my page and thank you for stopping by. Also, I'd like to welcome all my new followers and say a huge thank you to my loyal followers who have been following me since the beginning. I felt it was time for an official introduction, it's been a while.

So, I was born in SE London. I am the only and eldest daughter of four children from a Sikh family. I'm a bit of a cliché, lol. At the age of 11, I was able to cook an entire Indian dinner, something I am proud of to this day. My parents instilled in me useful life skills from an early age.

I consider secondary school to be a turning point in my life. During this time, I became culturally and religiously aware, found my first sisterhood, and developed strong relationships that have continued to this day. My goal was to give myself future choices, so I graduated with a law degree, which I absolutely hated.

I never learned the lesson of never saying never. Despite never wanting to be a solicitor, I qualified as one. Guess what, I ended up being a Criminal Solicitor despite never having intended to be one. Qualifying took me from London to SWANSEA. There is a very special place in my heart for Wales. What you will learn about me is that I love big, I give big, but if you cross me, well enough said.

After Uni and a smooth career transition, it was time to manifest that man. We can all laugh about the chai and samosa experience now, but at the time arghh lol. It only takes a phone call in September, a coffee in October, and a Big Fat Indian Wedding in July, quick, well my brother did it faster. We Nagra’s know when we know.

We are best friends, we are soul mates, and our journey so far has been both eventful, but very natural. We are approaching 18 years of marriage. I get moments of stillness and wonder how I got so lucky. He completes our world and I cannot imagine life without him. It is because of him that I get up every day and fight for the life we deserve. As my original cheerleader, he has always been there for me. I am grateful to the source, creator, and Waheguru every day. THANK YOU RANJ.

Tan is a superstar, and I love working with and creating fantastic products for her.

Please have a read as to what Tan thinks of working with me.

Again, thank you for being my cheerleader; this small business appreciates it.

Don’t miss out the dairy is filling up quickly. If you have any events coming up, get in touch!

I have some exciting news! I've decided to take on more orders, but I need your help. My humble bakery has been running for a while now, and I'm ready to grow it. So that means I need to set some boundaries. That's right: boundaries! As much as we might think it's a dirty word, they're actually essential if we want our businesses to grow.

I've set some guidelines for myself and my business, which will make sure that everyone gets the best quality product possible. Here are my new rules:

Weekends :-In the past, I've been guilty of answering enquiries on weekends. I mean, it's only logical to think that since you're working during the week, you should be able to work on your days off. But now I know better. Now that I have a handle on my personal boundaries, it's easier for me to see how important it is to keep them intact. And one of the essential boundaries is between work and home life—not just because it helps me feel relaxed when I'm at home, but also because it helps me remember what's important in life so that when I'm working, I can focus on doing great work instead of feeling like my entire job is about keeping up with quotas or trying to make sure people are happy with me.

Discounts:- It's taken me a minute to value your worth, and I know it can be a touchy subject. I take great pride in my work, and I want you to feel confident when you buy my products. That’s why, for every product I put together, I carefully consider pricing. Every quote I compile is carefully considered. It could be you are not my ideal client, which is fine, and I can only hope that one day you will be. My suggestion would be to approach me with your budget, and I can advise you if I can cater within that budget.

Notice:- This change comes after realising that I have been running my business with fear. Fear of saying no and turning people away because they won't return. So I would under-quote and take on last-minute jobs. That won't be happening anymore. So my advice is; General & Gift boxes will have at least two weeks' notice. Orders for large bulk orders will have at least four weeks' notice.
Let me know your thoughts. Do you have business boundaries? Do they work ?

I thought I had life mapped out pretty well until I learned I knew nothing about life. I am so fortunate to have people in my life now who are willing to have these philosophical conversations.

So here is to throwing caution to the wind and climbing that mountain. Living life with LOVE, GRATITUDE and PURPOSE.

So I will be up on the mountain with my box of biscuits, whose joining me? (you will have to bring your biscuits I don't share, sorry, not sorry ❤️).
