It's only November I know, but it's always great to look at some Christmas cupcakes, right?
I am a Christmasoholic! My ideal evening would be a glass of mulled wine, mince pies, and a snowy white Christmas movie! Ahhh... <3
I hail from the southern tip of India, called Kerala. We are a mixture of different faiths which means we have a lot of different festivities throughout the year! As kids, we grew up celebrating each and every one of them with the same enthusiasm regard...less of our religious beliefs.
I have to admit, Christmas is my favorite time of the year! My sister and I would put up decorations on our Christmas tree (which is usually a branch of a mango tree from our back garden), set up a small hut where our full set of clay figurines would go and most importantly, help mum make the Christmas cake and chocolates!
Coming to this country, you can imagine the excitement of a 'Christmasoholic' experiencing the glitz and glam of the English Christmas! I was awestruck! I was in love! <3
Fourteen years have passed, and the excitement is still as intense as the first time! This must be true love, ey? ;)
Hope you like these Christmas cupcakes, all buttercream ofcourse :) <3

Inspiration for cakes can be found anywhere!
Have you tried greeting cards? They are well balanced in colours and the design potentials are endless! Have you tried textiles, fabrics, laces, designer dresses? Again the details can be so inspiring! Another thing I love to look at are real flower arrangements and bouquets. You can see what sorts of flowers go well together which in turns gives your floral cake a very natural look!
Where do you get your inspiration for your cakes? Share in comments <3 Let's warm up a little, much needed for Monday :)

Palette knife painting with buttercream <3
As a kid, I was into all things arts. Whether it be painting, drawing, singing, acting, writing... Doesn't matter if I am good at it or not, I would want to give it a go because it made me tremendously happy! There's no other reason for it. But on the other hand, I wouldn't even turn up on our school sports day because that's how out of sync I was with anything sporty.
And I don't get competitions. If everyone is doing their person...al best, aren't they all really winners?
When I started my business, one statement that I repeatedly heard was about 'competitions'. The market is tough. Competitors are fiercely fighting for customers. It would be hard to make it work.
Yes, it is indeed hard to run your own business. I wouldn't lie. But what we have to understand is there is something that's unique here. That no competition can copy. 'You'.
Be yourself. Be an original. And most importantly, trust the path you choose to travel!

Meet the creators of these gorgeous sweet blooms! :) From the flower piping masterclass last weekend.
After each and every class, I have nothing but gratitude i my heart for being able to meet such amazing creative ladies from all walks of life. Here, there is a professional chef, a couple of homebakers running their own business and some passionate hobby bakers. All of them juggle their home, kids, work and what not to be able to find some time to experiment with this new a...rt form. As someone who is always keen to try new things, I can tell you that there's nothing more soul enriching than the process of learning something new!
Some are returning for the class on Nov 17th which is our masterclass covering flower piping as well as painting with buttercream on a full cake! Cannot wait <3

i attended the basic flower piping class a couple of weeks ago and i must say, im glad i did :) Neetha is amazing, everything right from how she set up the tables for us, providing us with all the tools, even a towel and a bottle of water for each one of us!! all the way upto her way of teaching.. it was fantastic!! We learnt 6 different types of flowers, i personally would have loved to have a bit more time with the roses, but im sure i can practice it up coz Neetha has given me a very good foundation. Neetha has a beautiful talent, and she shares it with us in an even more beautiful manner. She is so calm and composed and cheering everyone all the time. best of all, her recipes are amazing, she has a secret buttercream recipe, so come on people, start booking your classes, i highly recommend it, and it really is worth it, i guarentee!! I look forward to learning more and more with you Neetha..

Yesterday I attended Buttercream Flower Piping Class Nr Gloucester, it was a wonderful course, Neetha full of knowledge and passion for Buttercream and explained everything very well. Piped 12 cupcakes in various colours and designs with lots of tips and tricks along the way. Thank you so much for a fun packed day :-)

Well. Where do I start. I am a baker but had no clue about decorating cakes. Neetha (with patience abounding) took me through step by step from the butter icing (her recipe is worth the fee alone) to the intricate flower making. I have left the class delighted to show off my cakes, but also fully confident I can replicate them and that Neetha is only a message away if needed. I can not recommend this course or Neetha highly enough, she puts her heart and soul into sharing her talent. Thank you Neetha I enjoyed every second x

I totally enjoyed my 1 to 1 exclusive class with Neetha yesterday. She is an amazing, talented, patient teacher, exactly what you want as a complete beginner. I came home very happy and satisfied and cannot wait to practice. Thank you for the wonderful day Neetha! x

I have to say I had the most wonderful day being taught by Neetha, who is an excellent teacher an all round lovely lady. I would definitely recommend her corses and look forward to another course myself. Thakyou Neetha xx

I have to say I had the best day. I am a complete novice and came home with half a dozen beautifully decorated cakes that wouldn't look out of place on any table :) With the patience of a fantastic tutor with a lovely natural teaching ability made it possible to make beautiful cakes on my first go. With a little home practice I think I will be offering to do all are family gathering cakes, just to show off ;) Thank you for helping me with my new found hobby.

I did the Buttercream Masterclass on Saturday, and as a complete beginner I learnt how to decorate a full cake from start to finish, how to pipe different blooms and learnt to create a cupcake bouquet. I found Neetha to be very encouraging and was very attentive to my needs. She taught me the correct terminology as well as what tools I need. Thanks Neetha I had a great day and would love to join you on another course in the future x

I attended Neetha's buttercream petals course last Saturday. I had an amazing day learning how to do the different flowers. Neetha is an amazing teacher with lots of patience and a very talented lady. I would highly recommend you try this course, as you won't be disappointed. You will come away with your cupcakes and feel very proud that you have done these yourself. Whether an experienced cake decorator or a beginner you will defiantly enjoy this course. Thank you Neetha for a lovely day and it was lovely meeting you. Xx

I am a novice at everything related to cake making. I absolutely love the idea but have a mental block when it comes to baking & decorating. Petrified I was going to be really bad I decided to go to Neetha who I know to be one of the nicest people I know. I wasn't disappointed at all. She puts you at ease, is very well organised, is very patient and most of all, is very talented. My 6 cup cake designs looked so beautiful. Neetha takes you through the technique but its upto you to practice which is what I am looking forward to. All in all a very enjoyable day. These days cup cakes are in great demand. From charitable events to your child's school functions...it would bring such a wow factor if you turned up with cakes looking like the ones at this course. Totally totally recommend it.
