Online shopping is probably the worst kind for your budget. Otherwise it would mean stepping out of the house which stay at home moms like me seldom do and as a result we don't shop often. But having stuff just a click away is a little too hard to resist. Especially when you are all for trying out new products.
Recently i have been updating my stock of bake-ware and i got a little carried away with my recent purchases. Here is what i bought;
A mini cheesecake pan with removable bottoms. I have been really wanting this ever since my individual cheesecakes experiment.
A 9" non stick tart pan with removable bottom. I don't own a tart pan/ pie dish. I have always used my mom's for the apple pies. Really want to experiment with more pies and tarts.
A ceramic bundtform pan. Just because this was relatively cheap and bundt cakes are so pretty looking. I have never made a bundt cake in my life and as soon as i got my hands on it, i tried one. I used the marble cake recipe from joyofbaking.com and the result was a perfectly light and amazingly good tasting cake that fell apart due to my own impatience. (So no picture for you guys)
Coming back to the online shopping part, i would like to add that there are a lot of pages on facebook these days which deal with all sort of baking supplies. Initially all these supplies were not available in Pakistan and they still are hard to find at local stores, so your best option is to shop online. The best part is that most of them let you contact them via whatsapp so you can inquire about the product in detail and they even let you have the cash on delivery service. I ordered the first two products from Bakers Supplies. I'm very happy with their pricing, the quality of product and their service. The bundt cake pan was ordered from Daraz.pk. I'm really looking forward to more bundt cake recipes. And i promise myself i wont let the next one fall apart. "Feeling Determined"!

The recipe clearly said to make sure the cake cools in the pan before you turn it over. Well i being the impatient woman that i am, didn't wait long enough and it broke from the top as i flipped it over. Nevertheless it tasted good and as much as i wanted to save the leftovers for a later time, there weren't any. Here's a picture of the last slice i helped finish today.
At this rate if i continue with my baking experiments and keep consuming them, i'm afraid i will never lose those extra pounds i gained during my pregnancy. (Yes i'm still carrying them) One of these days i would like to post about eating healthy. I really hope that is soon enough. My dear husband generously offered to take all these yummy goods off my hands by taking them along with him to work. I really like the offer, but to avail that i must make sure i make pretty looking cakes next time, not the ones that fall apart.
