Our story

Our story begins here….Everything starts out as a project for Abhinav and me to keep happy over the weekend......Drawing, baking, salt dough projects…da da da.


The chance to put up a small cookie stall at the apartment on Republic Day was what turned us into bakers overnight.


Abhinav was 3 at the time. He always looks bright-eyed and excited about every project I cook up and enthusiastically agrees to partner with me. We dreamt about it and discussed this for a whole week. I realized that both of us had a taste for the dramatic. Things had to have that ‘wow’ factor. They had to be special to want to make it. Basics bore us. So don’t expect to find a chocolate chip cookie or the oatmeal cookie on our page. 


We designed cookies to cater to all kinds of people who might come to our sale.
We tried, test baked and finalized on the cookies we were to present. Abhinav’s dough rolling skills, mastered at Playschool came handy. He would roll out and cut and I, bake.


A hectic long weekend of baking large batches of cookies. We actually did it. 
Clear plastic wrap packaging with a tie- up prettied up the cookies for sale.


Never done something like this before ….. what would people think of things, would they buy our cookies?


Three sleepless, anxious nights later ,we were at the sale looking all cheerful and excited to show our bakes.


Kids gathered to look at the goodies …..soon the parents came … it was most exciting to watch men buy pink heart cookies for their wives and daughters. Our cookies sold out in two hours!


Abhinav and I both feel confident to bake today, a year down the lane. We had a successful sale at this year’s Republic Day event as well. We intend to  share our best produce  and our excitement with all food enthusiasts and hope to inspire you to create your own wonders!
