## About Online Baking Workshops

### Why I Teach Baking Online

I’ve been baking for nearly 10 years, and honestly, I believe there’s nothing better than sharing a fresh cake you made yourself. My online baking workshops are all about making eggless desserts that taste amazing and look pro, but without all the fuss.

### What You’ll Get (Besides Cake)

- 100% eggless recipes every single time.  
- Live baking classes at home on Zoom where you can ask anything, even if you’ve never picked up a whisk before.  
- Recipe PDFs that don’t miss a step, so you’re not scrambling to jot things down.  
- Lifetime access to class recordings, because life gets busy.  
- Virtual baking community on WhatsApp – share your creations, get feedback, and ask follow-up questions anytime.

### What We Actually Do

- Learn real techniques (like getting that perfect ganache drip or making a cake that stands tall).  
- Ingredient sourcing hacks – I’ll tell you where I get my stuff and what brands actually work.  
- Storage tips (because no one likes a dry cake).  
- Dishes aren’t boring: think Hazelnut Praline Cake, a Black Forest Cake with a twist, and boozy cupcakes (alcohol dukh anusaar, as much as you like).  
- Seasonal and festive treats, because variety is fun.

### Real Talk

Baking is sometimes messy, and stuff doesn’t always go right. I share what works and what flops, so you’re not left frustrated. If you want a chill space to learn at your own pace and level up your skills, I’m here for it.

### My story

Life’s funny, isn’t it? Never thought I’d be the one making cakes for a living. Used to watch MasterChef Australia, dreaming, drooling over those desserts. Now, here I am, over ten years deep, mixing passion with business. It gets tiring, sure, but making cakes for folks’ big moments? That’s magic for me. Winning ‘Cakepreneur of the Year’ was a real kick - proof that maybe I’m right where I’m supposed to be.

### My work

- **All things sweet & 100% eggless**: Custom cakes, mini bentos, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, festive hampers, dessert tables, and online baking workshops. Vegan and gluten-free menu coming soon.
- **No fondant, only real stuff**: No fondant here, just Belgian chocolate ganache or buttercream. I promise, no fake stuff.
- **Flavour rules the kitchen**: Real, seasonal ingredients. Try my Eggless Black Forest cake, Aamras cake online, and Kashmiri Kahwa opera. Strawberry season is wild here.
- **Custom cakes need time**: Trust me with your celebration and give me time. Last-minute grand cakes? Not happening.
- **Eggless baking workshop**: Join my live Zoom workshops. Get detailed recipes, recordings, and pick my brain.
