Baby shower cupcakes

Since I have found a new passion for making cupcakes. Actually its not new its something I always loved to do. Guess becoming a mother I get more opportunities to make it .So I thought I might as well showcase some of my creations in my blog. After all the blog is mine and I can show whatever I want :)
These yellow and green vanilla cupcake with cream cheese frosting and home made marshmallow fondant were made for my very dear friends baby shower. She is expecting in May and we are super excited for her.My sister shared the vanilla cupcake recipe from the hummingbird bakery book and I must say its going to be my go to recipe for vanilla cupcakes. Hope you fall in love with these lil baies who according to my friends look like Popeye babies :)

buttuglee

As soon as I saw these creatures I fell in love with them. They are truly wild whacky and whimsical. With a name like buttuglee they are anything but ugly. Check out Jennifer Jones's lovely creatures here www.buttuglee.com

You can buy her products on etsy.

Since I am in the land of crabs thought of uploading this uglee :)

Tell me about India

I was inspired to write and illustrate this book on India after visiting the school library and realising most of the books about India depict India only as a village. Coming from India and being based in America for more than a year this book is looking through the eyes of an Indian boy raised up in America being questioned about his roots.

Verbally

Can't believe my last post was in 2010 time to keep updating. Found this really cool ipad app which can help people with speech impairment. Check out their website. I remember wanting to make something similar for my final masters project in 2006. I am so glad the app is free will benefit more people. Unfortunately you need to be rich enough to afford the ipad :) But kudos to them.

ReacTickles

I wonder how I have not blogged about ReacTickles earlier. I think its one of the most amazing software I have seen till date for interaction focusing on children with autism. It is so simple and multicultural and has so much potential.I had the privilege to meet Wendy Keay Bright. What an amazing and warm person she is. Her workshops are amazing and I so hope we do meet again.
