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!
