The Team behind this Successful Festive Season !!

It s rightly said without a great team one cannot achieve great results. In that case I am lucky to have a young and dynamic team who made sure that we are going ahead in the right direction to make sure we set our self a new benchmark and raise the bar. I agree that we managed to do it in the right spirit!! Bravo !!

Cant Tell you how happy Pastry chef would be when he or she sees the mirror replica on his or her glaze. so was with me !! As I see the shine and reflection on the cocoa glaze I couldn't resist to take an image of it. This was a sigh of relief, that the efforts you take in making sure you get a perfect glaze has been achieved. So to make sure you get a perfect glazed pastry is not far away. 

This is the result !! perfectly glazed and beautiful sheen

Beautiful streaks of white and blue on shiny black, makes it look even more sexy!!
