Green purse
Recently, my sewing machine has become my best friend, though I bought it last year.
I had the plan of sewing a purse for a long time.
That plan was implemented this week.The picture has not done justice...... my house is not gifted with sunlight :-(



I felt so happy when I finished this project.It was a great acheivement for me.
To make it more beautiful, I added a Ganasha key chain to the zip.

My cup cake baking lesson
I wanted to try cup cake ......My goal of reducing weight stopped me from baking. My husband's birthday is nearing and I wanted to make something special for him. Thought of testing the cup cake recepie which I had written in a paper long back. I don't remember from where I got the recepie. It was for 14 to 16 cup cakes.Often I was not sucessfull in baking, I have wasted a lot.So decided to make half of it. I reduced all the ingredients to half so that I will get 6-8 cup cakes.
Yesterday afternoon I thought of doing my experiment.I measured all the ingredients to half the quantity.... and followed the recepies.The recpie was with all purpose flour, but I used cake mix instead of it.Finally, when I mixed everything, my intution was saying me that the batter is too thin for the cake.Now, I thought this cake is not going to turn into a cake :(
I thought why not to add more of the cake mixture to make the batter thick.I did add the remaining half of the cake mixture that was said for 16 cup cakes. The batter was thick but still I wanted it to be more thick, again I dusted some cake mixture.
Now it was upto my expectation.I added some raisins which the recpie didn't mention. Now its ready to pour into the beautiful papercup, that was lying down in my kitchen drawer for a long time.I was attracted by the prints on the papercup while shopping and grabbed it immediately.The time has come for its use.....

Filled the papercup with two-third of the batter.While the cup cake was baking, I kept my finger crossed that it should turn out well. I did the tooth pick test to check whether it was done? It didn't stick so its cooked .The cupcake looked edible.

Oh ! I passed in cupcake test!!!!!!!!!!!! The taste was amazing! Didn't have the patience to do the icing.
Previously I had tried several cakes, a few turned out well and many were not cake at all.My husband the guiena pig with whom I do all my experiments, told not to try any more cakes but I kept trying.So finally, I learnt that baking also doesn't need exact measurement.
