Welcome Foodies

Hello and welcome to my readers out there. I'm Zoya and simply put; i love to cook, hence the reason for starting this blog. I am an IT graduate by profession so a total tech savvy person. I have been blogging since 2005 so yes you can say i'm a writer by nature; the kind of person who spins up phrases in her mind about the tiniest bit of thoughts. Cooking hasn't been a recent hobby of mine. I have been baking since i was in school, even though i know that baking out of a cake mix box doesn't really count. But cooking is something i have always enjoyed. It's that perfect getaway they all talk about. The moment when all your endeavors turn into a perfectly moist sponge cake, a chewy cookie or a dense chocolate cupcake is simply worth explaining in hundreds of words.

About Zoya's Bakeshop:
Zoya's Bakeshop has been a recent endeavor of mine. Its a small scale home-run business which i hope to expand someday into a complete catering service. But there's a long way to get there.

A few years back i started a similar food blog, sharing a few recipes every now and then, but i didn't follow up and soon it was forgotten like many other things i do. Somehow i feel like i hardly finish things that i start. Lets hope its not the case with this blog of mine.

This blog is more than just a place to write about food and share recipes. I don't just want to share the things i create, but analyse and learn about my own self, allowing myself the room to grow and eventually accomplish my dream of being that famous cook who's the talk of the town. I have many inspirations this time, so i'm hoping i will continue working towards my goals (taking baby steps!). My biggest inspiration is Glory Albin! The woman from Glorious Treats. I have been a silent follower of her blog and i must say she is the reason i started my own. Her cake decorating, party planning and photography skills are just really admirable. Other than that there are some catering businesses in Pakistan that inspire me. Funky Bake Cupcake Cafe and Mint to be from Islamabad, Lal Majid of Lals Chocolate from Karachi and Muneeze Khalid from Lahore are a few good names.

So here i am at the starting line, looking far far ahead and hoping all of you will support me in getting there. Cheers!

That's all for now, cookies for the next post!
