Emotional Farewell

Akanksha is gaining proficiency in the art of cake making. After the first cake she made she had excelled a lot. Now, she is always ready to bake a cake. Now my neighbours come and ask for recipes of cake from her. They even invite her to their home to make sure that the cake comes out properly. Is not it funny?



The above cake she baked on the 31st of March for our landlady whose birthday Akanksha never forgets. Our land lady was overwhelmed to see Akanksha bake a delicious cake for her.

Yesterday night she baked two cakes - a farewell cake for her cousin brother who is leaving Kolkata for Assam where he is going to join a new job and a birthday cake for her cousin sister who stays miles away. The cake was shared through facebook.

The birthday cake for her cousin sister

Her sister was very happy to see the cake on facebook and messaged back:

awww....thats so sweet of u all  thanks to all of you n special thanks to my lil sister..she made my day wid dis cake 


The farewell cake for her brother

Overall it was an emotional moment. From today we will be missing Ricky and Akanksha will miss her brother with whom she shared everything. Ricky too got emotional and wrote the following on his facebook timeline:

It's an emotional night for me.. M leaving this place without my will. Leaving another home..Kaku-Kakimoni, thank you will not be enough for what you did for me. Bappa da my roommate my brother.. thanks for being with me.. My lil sister Shikhi(Akanksha).. will always love you n thanks for the cake.. it was really very tasty.. Thanks to all.. thank you for the surprise.. Will miss you all  

I am happy and content that merely for baking a cake  may be, Akanksha will at least remember occasions and be able to value relationships.

  2. Akanksha's cakes are exceptional considering her age. I especially like the one she did for her sister. It is sad when family leaves but think of all the good things to talk about when he visits.

    Akanksha is a true artist in baking pies and cakes.
    They look very appetizing. My guess is that they are delicious.
    Not everyone has such a talent. It's a great piece to bake a delicious cake.

  7. She really does have a talent! I loved that the neighbors want her to come over and supervise their baking.

    It's hard when loved ones have to leave. Hope everyone is happy and safe!
