  5. Had an awesome summer full of late night outings, picnics and sun.
  6. AD got a much awaited job

Cupcake passion!!

I like everything sweet and pretty, and cupcakes are both sweet and pretty. No?
I recently discvered my passion for cupcakes. Since everyone was baking these i HAD to do it too. Who would not love cupcakes and who doesnt are doing a sin in my humble opinion. You can decorate them with different coloured frosting and mini frosting figures. I havent tried making the figures yet.
I’m not a cooking person but baking, sure. Maybe this blog will help me in learning to cook and share the food pictures and recipies.. we will see.

Counting days....

.... till 8 days vacations in Dubai- a complete heaven (no doubt)! We were there last year in December 2010 for our honeymoon. It was a total bliss. The shopping malls, the high rise buildings, the FOOD, the clean roads. I wasnt expecting Dubai to be even close to being perfect BUT it was/is. I was more than excited when we decided to book our winter vacations for dubai in October. My inlaws will be coming over to Dubai too, which will make it an even better trip.

A little info of the  trip last year. We stayed at Grosvenor House which was located in Marina. It is rated at #1 in trip advisor. The hotel was no doubt a high standard and met our expectations. We were picked up from the airport by the concierge in a nice BMW. The room was pleasantly decorated, with beautiful Marina, Atlantis, Burj Arab view from our 40th floor. The breakfast was extensive and fulfilling. Dubai itself proved to be a great attraction both at night and during the day. To name a few, we highly enjoyed the Desert safari, the water taxi ride in bur dubai, the emirates mall, Medinat jummairah etc.

For some reason we didnt manage to visit a few places last year, but they are in the list this time :)
