June 6th, 2015- Cooking for Sanskrit Bharathi party

Another batch of eggless banana banana bread and vanilla cupcakes but this time with strawberry preserve icing and raspberry topping made from scratch by Shruthkirti.  This time for our end of the year Sanskrit Bharathi party.
The interesting aspect was how she thought about what to do , to make the cupcakes inviting and attractive for the kids and chose the icing. It definitely clicked  as half the tray was gone seconds after the tray was on the table! The visual appeal was strong I guess.
The best part was when Shruthkirti shared a conversation with her friend where the friend asked her if she had eaten the cupcakes and was wondering aloud as to where one might have bought it? Much to the amusement of the maker! What a woderful ending to a year of learning Sanskrit and falling in love all over again with India and Vedic culture!
I'm starting to observe that Shruthkirti is enjoying cooking for an event where people outside her family get to eat. The real life aspect of it gives her a kick- she thinks about the event, who is going to eat her food, what will make it attractive and most importantly seems to get a real pleasure out of seeing people enjoying her food!  I'm grateful for having so many wonderful communities in our lives where people are eager to eat what my eight yr old cooks!!  With Shankar Ratneshwaran
