In Conversation With Fairy’s Touch, Mysore

Hey There Readers !
Hope you guys are having a lovely week !

Monsoon has finally arrived in Mysore, so its the perfect weather to curl up in a blanket and pamper yourself. Talking of Pampering whether its your lover, mother , best friend or yourself, a home-baked Aussie cupcake (or cupcakes) will definitely work.

I had mentioned earlier about ‘ Fairy’s Touch’, the Melbourne Cupcake place I discovered recently – run by this amazing couple with a passion for doing what they do.

So, here’s a little ice-breaker with Mrs. Poornima, the co-founder at Fairy’s touch .

 

Introduce yourselves.

Australian trained couple settled in Mysore, who love to bake delectable homemade cakes and cupcakes.

Tell us something about your journey.

They say it is never too late to learn! Our passion for learning culinary arts got us to pack our bags and fly across to Australia. At the age of 37, Som graduated out of Kangan Batman Institute of tafe, Melbourne. While Som had his heart and soul into commercial cookery, I (Poornima) had the opportunity of attending a workshop under the guidance of Miss Jennifer Graham, who is known as the ‘Cupcake Queen’ of Australia. We were also a part of various courses at the Savour chocolate & Patisserie school, run by Miss Kirsten Tibballs.

Why call it ‘Fairy’s Touch’?

Till date I really do wonder if it is a myth or reality that a dimple in the chin refers to as the fairy’s Touch. I am blessed to have a dimple on my chin. Hence the name.

How Do you function ?

At Fairy’s Touch, Som does the baking and I do the frosting. They say a cupcake is at its best only when it is frosted. We are home bakers, who believe in bake fresh method. We do not store cakes or cupcake as we bake on order.

So, do you guys do orders ?

Yes, we do. We also conduct exhibition and sale of cupcakes every fortnightly.

What would be your FAVORITE kind of cupcake ?

Our favorite cupcake is the Red Velvet cupcake filled with cream cheese

Which is the most loved cupcake from your menu ?

It’s hard to choose any particular flavor as we keep experimenting and bring out new flavors with each passing day. Best selling ones are our chocolate cupcakes topped with Rich chocolate and Choco Mocha.

 

What is the hardest thing about making your passion your job ?

Making your passion your job does not give enough time for ourselves, more so because we are home bakers it becomes difficult for us to differentiate between home and workplace.

What’s Next ?

Fairy’s Touch aspires to introduce to Mysore delicacies from across the world at affordable prices so that our customers do not have to travel miles to savor them.

Where Do you see ‘Fairy’s Touch’ 10 years from now ?

Our cupcakes must and will taste the same. We look forward in maintaining the quality, freshness, taste and hygiene for years to come. We will also be the one stop destination for authentic desserts from around the world in Mysore. We also look forward to the love and affection from all our customers.

I promise, you will be able to taste their love for baking in each bite – as the mellow flavor of the cream tickles your taste buds, the soft light heart-ed cake will balance it all , giving you the right kind of sugar rush.
Being Home-baked, the cupcakes are Honestly Delicious. We all know the usual bakeries in town do not serve cupcakes which are fresh or promising ; unless pre-ordered and sometimes even then.

Their Chocolate Ganache frosting is probably the best frosting I have had over a cupcake – The flavor being so rich and the texture thick and creamy. I feel what I notice most generally in any dessert is the sugar balance – and their cupcakes ace it.
If you like fruit flavors,  you have a lot of options to choose from. They even have Blue Curacao frosting over Blueberry cupcake – well that’s something ?!

In an informal conversation with her, I learnt that they specialize in New York styled Sliced Pizzas as well. Let’s hope beside desserts, we get a taste of their other culinary masterpieces in the future.
