Made something fun, delicious and messy for @tatacliqluxury 😻❤️ The messy cake is a deliberate disregard for perfection. Trend forecaster WGSN says it is the result of millennial nostalgia, and a new-found zeal for authenticity and imperfection. Living through the roller-coaster impact of the pandemic has pushed us to “turn to experiences that are authentic and fun,” says Sarah Owen, WGSN’s Senior Editor Digital Media & Marketing in a report. We concur. I hope you enjoy this cake from my childhood. Go ahead, get messy! Embrace the imperfections. The only rule to remember ~ there are no rules 💝 #MessyCake #EgglessCake #Baking #ChocolateCakeRecipe

When you bake or cook for passion, it’s a different story. But to have women always associated with household chores like cooking, cleaning, or even laundry is just unfair. So when I think back now, I’m so glad to have been raised in a house where everything is a man’s job just as much as it is a woman’s. So as second nature, I’ve come to #SeeEqual - regardless of responsibilities, regardless of gender. I wish this was the reality for many more Indian households. It makes me so happy to see this wonderful film from @ariel.india . I love how the woman stands up for herself and demands to be seen as an equal. The more we #SeeEqual , the more we will #ShareTheLoad and move towards a tomorrow that is equal and happier! #Ariel #ArielIndia

It’s finally hereeeeee! A couple of months ago, chef @ranveer.brar came over to my kitchen to teach me something new.

I’m always in awe of chef’s kindness, humility and knowledge ~ I hope you guys enjoy this episode of #TalkPastryToMe ❤️😁 #RanveerBrar #Malpua #PoojaDhingra #Pastry #RecipeAlert

From a very young age, I knew baking had its own kind of magic. Fast forward to the present day, am now an entrepreneur and woman in my field. I’ve spent more than a decade learning and building a business of my own. While it has come with its own share of difficulties, I’ve never let it dull the sparkle and passion I have for baking. Stay tuned for the video on @sunsilkindia where I’ll be taking you through my day and show you everything there is to know about my profession. I hope this inspires you to follow your dreams no matter the hurdles and challenges ahead! @sunsilkindia #SunsilkGirlGiri #Sunsilk
