When stressed and in doubt cupcake it out. That could easily be the mantra for home baker and Malad resident Gail Dias Pinto, who has been doling out her sweet treats for family and friends for quite a while. After all, some stress it out, and others whisk their worries about. Gail believes in doing the latter, seeing an opportunity and making the most of it.

Donning the apron
The Orlem-based homebaker and Malad resident has always loved cooking, especially baking, but she realisedto what extent when she was home-bound expecting her child. She says, "I was advised complete bed rest, and all I could do was binge read on cooking and baking. I realised that it was something I enjoy, and wanted to take forward." That was around two years ago. Cut to today, after a lot of trail and error, and armed with loads of feedback from family and friends who have willing played guinea pigs to a dozen or so of her experiments in the kitchen, she has finally decided to venture into the baking biz. She adds, "Easter gave me an opportunity to actually put the word out. I got a lot of orders for my Easter eggs, and encouraged by the response I have decided to give Gail's Sweets & Treats a professional makeover."
Dabbling with baking and icing
Gail is a self-taught baker, but she has not let that limit her. She started with chocolates, and has now added half-a-dozen treats to her list of goodies, which include cupcakes, cookies, brownies, pralines and blondies, The best part her prices are economical and can be delivered to your doorstep for a nominal cost. Gail also takes customised orders for weddings, christenings, baby showers and other occasions.
