The Baking Law Student

Another bake sale that is definitely worth checking out is by Rashmi Dias, aka

‘The Baking Law Student’. It will take place today (Dec

23) at Cafè Kumbuk,

Colombo 7 from 10am to

3pm.

Rashmi tells us she’s a

“HUGE fan of Christmas.”

She describes herself as one of those people who’d start getting ready for the season from the end of October. She explains that food is something which brings people together. “I firmly believe baking with a lot of love makes a world of a difference- cliche, I know - but I really do practice this.”

Much of her Christmas prep would involve experimenting with new Christmassy recipes. She tells us “Christmas has always brought about this sort of magical feeling to our household - so many clichés, I know. But, I suppose this is where the difference comes in with Christmas baking.”

“The household needs to smell of what I am baking.

The spices, the flavours all bring about this warm and happy feeling which cannot be compared.”

In terms of the items that are up for grabs, Rashmi will be having a selection of her

popular cupcakes. These include her Plain Jane (choc

olate cake with Belgian chocolate buttercream), Irish Intoxication (Chocolate cake with chocolate, Baileys and Coffee), Vanilla cupcakes with her homemade lemon curd and passion fruit curd etc. The sale will not be limited to cupcakes

alone though and will also feature other Christmassy items such as Gingerbread cookies, Christmas themed meringues, mini apple and sour cherry pies etc. “There will be a few more surprises too!!” All the profits from her sale will be donated to

charity . For more information log onto https://www.instagram.com/thebakinglawstudent
