    I also miss your weekend cake peek too, but dare not to mention it as it kinda gives you pressure :D... Archana, you are a real artist, and a great sculptor! This type of clean and sleek disign is always my favorite. I can image a beautiful and toothless smile from that baby!

    Really, that's a cake? It looks like a gift box to me. How can it be so perfectly smooth? I'd rather stare at it than eat it.

  37. Archana what can anyone possibly comment looking at this cake,the colour of it,the roses....Awww...how can one just eat a piece of art!

    ReplyDelete
  38. my goodness archana, a day later and I'm still drooling. How is it I hadn't seen this before? Not to malign your science, because you rock at that too, but you really, really should own your own restaurant...And you gotta get these published, like in book form. Great writing, incredible pictures of incredible food. Thomas is too lucky! See ya at work.

    I am a new blogger. Just started my own blogspot to present my recipes to friends too. I happen to be browsing and was awestruck by the cakes and the decorations when I came to your blog site. I just cannot believe that you are not a professional baker. You have an amazing talent. I live in Portland, Oregon too. Please check out my page too- I just started it a few weeks back and don't have many posts yet. http://deepisrecipes.blogspot.com/

    Hi, while browsing, I accidently stumbled upon your website. Your cakes look so yummy and inviting.You are a pro in cake decoration. I am also interested in cake decoration. I definitely don't have your calibre though.

    Do you have any idea what icing the bakeries in India use on christmas cakes. I am refering to the hard icing ( not the butter icing). We used to get those hard iced cakes in Kerala. Is it royal icing or glace. Please help if you know. Really craving for that icing

  60. Archana,
    You have the most AMZING blog/recipes/photos. You are the reason I have become so obsessed with food blogging (ahem, reading other's blogs, not actually authoring one..:-(). I do have 2 questions:
    1. What kind of digital camera are you using (the clarity is amazing) and
    2. What software are you using to get the watermarks on your photos?
    Thanks so much!
