It's been a while since I posted. I shall intermittently post food photos, but also wanted to start a series on reducing food waste. Maybe this can be the new year resolution for a lot of us.

As per the Food Waste Index Report 2021, a staggering 50 kg of food is thrown away per person per year in Indian homes. This excess food waste usually ends up in landfills, creating potent greenhouse gases which have dire environmental implications. Meanwhile, we continue to be greenwashed into amassing more "organic" and "sustainable" products than we really need

A Chocolate Cake with dark chocolate Mousse and Caramel filling. Frosted with dark Chocolate Ganache. Decorated with Rice Paper "Kalgi", Edible Fabric "Lehenga" and Edible Lace on the Lehenga

Hot Chocolate Bombs (Video also added)

These are currently trending on social media and I really wanted to try them out. When you have children of the age where they easily get excited by theatrics, there's added motivation :-) I'm not a fan of chocolate drinks, so I didn't taste this, but from the reaction of my own children and customers, they turned out good

Made them in the following flavors :
Regular vanilla
Pumpkin Spice
Hot Chilli
Cookies and Cream (both, in shells of white chocolate and dark chocolate)

Tempered the chocolate, and used homemade Hot Chocolate Mix and homemade Marshmallows
