bakes by aiyma

The Story

Hi,

My name is Aiyma and mere haath meh zika hai [my hands have taste, the English meaning: I'm a natural in the kitchen]. Those were my grandma's words, not mine.

All throughout lockdown, while she was stuck in Pakistan, she would call almost every day asking me what I'd made and how she couldn't wait to come back to London and try my new recipes, but she never did. She passed away in April 2021 and I lost myself, as well as all my passion and motivation to bake. I couldn't face it, grief is a strange thing. 

But time does heal, sabr is all that's needed, and here I am now dedicating my bakes to her, meri pyaari dadi, May Allah grant her the highest level of Jannah. 

With every purchase you make and each cookie you dip in your chai, please keep her in your duas and memories.

<3
