BakeFestDxb: the four-tiered edition
^From Sahar Latheef’s table Like an old hand, I’ve been attending BakeFestDxb since the very beginning (wander down BakeFestDxb memory lane with all previous posts here) … it’s a great way for community bakers to showcase their skills to the world and interact with the world.

Cupcakes worth their weight in gold at Bloomsbury’s
I found Shafeena through the wonderful group of food bloggers in the UAE – Fooderati Arabia. One day, over a year ago, I saw pictures of her cupcake store, Bloomsbury’s, based in Abu Dhabi. It intrigued me, and as a reporter on the B2B title, Commercial Interior Design, I saw potential for a feature. And…
Weddings, food photography and projects galore
I haven’t blogged for nearly a month and there’s a reason for that. In December, I took a break from work to stay at home and look after my brother, Karan, as my mother was forced to go went on a holiday to India. This meant fewer places for me to go out and eat…
Hallowe’en in Dubai
My first Hallowe’en in the UK, I had these amazingly decorated cupcakes with a good friend of mine while we were exploring Fright Night, a city-wide event Sheffield would put on at Hallowe’en.

Indulgence: Sugar Daddy’s cupcakes
Nom, nom, nom. Bought 6 cupcakes from Sugar Daddy’s and followed their website instructions not to put them in the fridge at the end of the day, but to store them in airtight containers at room temperature instead. Spot on. I’d bought cupcakes from here a long time back and stuck them in the fridge…

I have a French chef for a flatmate :D
Okay not really. But my flatmate is French. And she is an AMAZING chef. She regularly bakes and cooks and generally makes my mouth water. This is just one way to show you the things she gets up to! And those cupcakes were BRILLIANT.
Drowning in chocolate and coffee
Every fortnight, my university has a “Free coffee, cake and board games” evening at Coffee Revolution, a coffee shop at the Student Union. I went with two friends today and we unanimously picked these Mississippi mud pies because they looked delicious! And they were! Soft, creamy and chocolate-y with a biscuit base… *licks lips* This…
