Definitely pretty
June 22, 2016 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
[ Definitely pretty ] In inspiration section today we have Saria Saguaro. Saguaro means cactus and she thinks her nick is accurately given. She is one of the best bakers in town, who has her own online cake studio The Flourist. I adore her cakes, especially as they are made of buttercream. Besides making beautiful signature cakes she does painting and creates merchandising items under the name Pretty Shitty art. Though she calls it pretty shitty, but they are very beautiful, creative and bold. Bangla Hues asked her few questions and here is what she replied… Bangla hues: You got…

My blogging inspiratons
June 17, 2016 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
[ My blogging inspiratons ] One of my most favourite online indulgences is reading lifestyle blogs. I look at the beautiful pictures and get my inspirations for cooking, home making or DIY projects. It has been few years now that I spend my leisure time watching these pages. They are addictive, they are inspiring and above all they are brilliant. Today I am writing about my top 5 sites. These five bloggers are basically main inspirations for Bangla Hues. When I looked at their pages, I realised, resources were limited for me, as country and contexts are different. Hence I…

A fresh look
June 12, 2016 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
[ A fresh look ] I was meaning to revamp my bedroom look for the last few months. Suddenly last week, being little whimsical as I always am, got new bedroom accessories and redecorated the bedroom. As Eid is just around the corner, I thought of get the ball rolling. Few months back I bought a second hand antique dressing table. Something I yearned for all my life. Detailed, handcrafted wooden dressing table in leaf green now adorns my bedroom. The mix of old and new created a stunning balance and I love every minute I spend in the room.…

Ovaltine Cake: A Warm, Malty Loaf for Cakeless Afternoons
June 7, 2016 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
This easy Ovaltine cake is a rich, malty loaf made in one bowl, ready in about 40 minutes and perfect with afternoon tea. I have recently realised that I cannot live without cake. Cake is not merely a dessert to me; it is a mood, a fragrance, a small domestic ceremony. I thrive on baking cake, eating cake and, most of all, breathing in the warm smell of a freshly baked cake as it fills the kitchen. I started baking because I loved eating cake. Now that baking is my business, the relationship has become slightly unfair: I bake more…

Tête-à-tête with tea
Tea ceremony: Mariage Freres Paris Breakfast Tea
May 31, 2016 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
[ Tea ceremony: Mariage Freres Paris Breakfast Tea ] Our tea of today is a breakfast blend from none other than Mariage Freres. Every tea lover know and perhaps dream to buy tea blended by them. I came to know of them through my tea lover brother. I googled and of course I too fell in love with their diversity and products. Mariage Freres has a long history of tea merchandising. In 17th century French East India Company like all the other similar European companies searched for exotic goods all around the world. Nicolas and Pierre Mariage started their journey…

Orange blossom
May 20, 2016 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
[ Orange blossom ] Do you like Orange? I love Orange juice, the fruit itself including the peels. Raised eyebrows? Well, I can explain. Orange peels are a great source for vitamin c, and in my family we have a secret recipe of mashed orange peels to be eaten with rice. Apart from this I like Orange peel for one another reason. I use it on my face as a pack. The fresh citrus smell is so energizing that I wish I could use it everyday. I pair it with oats. Though oats and orange peel pack sounds very easy…

Essentially fights headache
May 14, 2016 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
There are millions of people across the world like me, who suffer from headaches every day. I suffer from migraine the king of headaches, sinus headaches and at times tension headaches. I try to maintain the routine as much as I can still I don’t know what to blame. There are hundreds of reasons that include lack of sleep, tension, fatigue, allergies, hormones, vitamin deficiencies, constipation, poor posture, low blood sugar, and alcohol or drug consumption. For me a hard head knot, being out in the sun, lack of water also works as a headache inducer. At times more than…

[ Mother’s Day special ! ] Hello there… Hope all are okay… Today is mother’s day and I guess all are busy celebrating. Here is something very little I got for my mom. Ombre velvet cakes layered with mocha buttercream and covered in vanilla ombre buttercream. A simple rose on top with pearls scattered. Nothing is better than this for your dearest mom. Keep it simple. Happy mother’s day. [ Mother’s Day special ]

Little munch little tangy
May 4, 2016 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
[ Little munch little tangy ] This is my first post of a 10 episode salad fiesta. I am very much fond of salads. These recipes will be filling and healthy at the same time. You can consider this as a reminder to myself to eat fresh healthy food. There are times I have weird cravings. I feel I will die if I cannot have them, this cashew nut salad was one of those. First, this is something I will have any given moment any day. Second, this is very easy to make and makes a great dish for small…

The Corner Courtyard
April 28, 2016 - By Aziza Ahmed Paula
[ The Corner Courtyard ] I have been meaning to write on my Kolkata visit early this year, on Bangla Hues for last 3 months. Whenever I am sitting down, thinking to write about it, I end up writing something else instead. I really don’t know why I couldn’t finish it yet. I guess actually there is nothing to write about the trip in general expect for the food adventures we had (which will be another post). It was essentially a shopping trip that I planned for a long time with my best friend. Initially it was only me and…
