 When I first started, I had some vague ideas of putting up my cakes on a website and introducing a new spice blend, recipes.....and so on. Down the line, the Candybox Cakes page came about and the ARVI Spice Blend and accompanying recipes began to take shape along with other recipes, which are the mainstays of my kitchen. |

I realised that much of the cakes and recipes are influenced by my children. My 11 year old has been a picky  eater from the start. So, alot of time and imagination went into dreaming up recipes for meals that she would eat. Vaishu is the inspiration behind my soups and I can get her to eat just about any vegetable as long as it is in a soup! She loves pasta, and literally 'inhaled' the Walnut Pesto Linguine with Shrimps the moment it was put in front of her! The "Castle Cake" in the Cakes blog was for her 11th birthday. My 4 year-old son loves his food but has a severe allergy to eggs. So, along with my cousin, Renuka, we have had to come up with or adapt recipes to make them egg-free. The Egg-free Zone features egg-free, meat and fish-free, vegetarian recipes with a greater emphasis on sweets and desserts.

For better or for worse, I do hope that you will find some interesting stuff in these pages! Whichever it is, PLEASE drop me a line. That is really what I am looking forward to!
Till then, Raadhika Manoj
