The other day me and my friend had gone to see the movie 'ROCK ON'(AWESOMEEEEE MOVIE) at the Sridhar and she introduced me to THE OVEN..her mother loves the place she said and the caks ther are heavenly she confessed. Ok then might as well try thought..there were the ususal Black and White Forest a Butterscotch vairiety, pies, pastries etc... We decided to go for the Honey and Fig Cheese cake and the Capuccino cake...Both I must say were delightful and superbly sweet. Felt GRRREEEAAAT.
Its such good combination a good movie and a delectable peice of cake.Its been such a long time since I actualy enjoyed a movie and a good peice of cake.There was nothing new in the plot of the movie but every second of the movie had me totlly involved..Dunno if it was Farhaan or Arjun or the very settings and the heart rending music...but this movie smoothly features in my list of al time favs...

MAKEBAKECAKE
I hereby cordially welcome myself to the the world of blogs.
Alright so here I go...
Wherever I've gone I've always found someone who was truly madly deeply in love...with cakes...like myself.
Cakes have been an obsession with me from the time I remember. The power of a soft, spongy slice of dark chocolate cake to lift you out of your misery - Im sure is something many men and women swear by...What happy occassion can be celebrated without cutting a cake and popping the bubbly?
With the mindboggling variety- in flavours and layers - theres a lot for cake lovers to choose from..A cake for every mood - chocolate, vanilla, black forest, butterscotch, carrot, strawberry, black current - like icecream, cakes are a mouth watering delicacy that will never ever die.
I refuse to get into the history geography and biology of cakes here because thats what our famous search engine Google is here for(Seriously..).
Now why MAKEBAKECAKE - If you just thought its because - Make, bake and cake rhyme and I wanted to blog, well, hmm that could be 'a' reason, but its also because I would like to find Mad Hatters like myself who love cakes and everything about them - the exquisite aroma that wafts through the kitchen when its ready and out of the oven,or perhps when you walk into your favourite coffeeshop, the delicious taste that sends all your senses tingling.and the mmmm feeling you get once you are done and your arm stretches involuntarily to the knife (or for some even directly onto the cake) for yet another slice..
For the twenty odd years that I have had the fortune to live on earth, I have been a fan of all kinds of cake. Whether I have made one myself? Well...I have....tried a hand at 'strategically' placing the batter into the oven and declaring to my friends that I 'baked' the cake that they were singing praises about..(Sorry Mom, Thanks Mom) which wasnt a lie come to think of it( I have heard that in many bakeries in Europe there are people specially appointed just to place the cake into the oven - The Placement Specialists .. ;)).
I plan to keep my first blog sweet and short and would like to blog off by inviting all cake lovers across the world to share their experiences with cake...irrespective of caste, creed, colour, flavour or size and their recipes if any...Enjoy!!!
