From as long as I can remember, my early childhood memories are of me helping my mother bake my birthday cake, biscuits etc. All I ever wanted to be was a Chef and by the time I was in my teens I was passionate about food. Growing up in a non-metro city where ingredients were not easy to come by and the age when there was no internet and the only way one could learn was from a few cookery books and some odd cooking show on Doordarshan, thank god for my mothers collection of Womens Weekly and Woman and Home magazines which opened up a world of food which I knew very little about. That was the beginning.
Baking was something which came naturally to me, having seen my mother do it all my life. I was always trying new recipes and as a result I was called by neighbours to do their children’s birthday cakes that was more than two decades ago. I followed my heart and joined Hotel Management. Even there my focus hadn’t changed and I chose to specialize in the bakery.
Many years have since passed by but I still held on to my dream of having my own bakery. There were ofcourse friends and colleagues who gave me enormous encouragement. Then about 2 months ago I decided to take the plunge . Ofcourse I must mention that the name, which is very special to me was given by a dear friend, Jojo, as Ipshita’s and my son decided to add cakes mamma bakes. So there it was……Ipshita’s cakes mamma bakes.
