Sharm's Bake Queen
1. Can you tell me a little bit about your project?
My project is Baking homemade Treats (different kinds of Cakes, Cookies, Cupcakes,..) with high quality and reasonable prices .
2. What inspired you to do this?
To be honest my husband inspired me, and encouraged me to carry on doing this, as I love to indulge him with new treats, and of course he is my financer ☺ Whenever we go somewhere to eat, he always says, “you make it better”. Also I have a baby boy, and I have to make sure that he can eat a hygienically, healthily made dessert. Family and friends admired my homemade dessert and presentations.
3. What are your plans for the Sharm market?
My plan is to create a view panel with options, for the people of Sharm, to have the chance to choose their favorite treats, and even customize them according to their needs, instead of being forced to pay too much for having a standard type dessert. “That is what I have been suffering from since I lived in Sharm.”
4. Who are you targeting?
Well my near future target is reaching all resident families in Sharm, ladies, anyone interested in desserts and my favorite cafés. My far future target is reaching ALL PEOPLE THROUGH MY DESSERT TV PROGRAM AND MY DESSERTS RECIPE BOOK ☺ who knows? I really hope that I can achieve that soon.
5. Do you have a passion for all types of cooking, or just baking?
Yes, I love to cook, but not all kinds of cooking. I like Italian cuisine, Thai and Chinese too. I love using kitchen tools. I’m really interested in them; what you can do with them and the way they work.
6. If you could recommend someone to one of your baked items, which item would you recommend and why? Just one :-)
I recommend my chocolate cupcakes because they are mouthwatering. With the melted chocolate chunks inside - that’s my twist. They can be customized to richer cake with frost. A single portion is very satisfying, fits all kind of party occasions, with different decorations. They are also elegant, yet very affordable. What a combination!
7. Where do you sell your baked products?
At the moment, some of my products are served at Tango café , Luna lounge, Aladino café and orders are made through my face book group (Cakes’R’uS ).
8. Do you do special orders for events?
Yes, I do special orders for events, but with enough time as shown in my group’s photo details. Each item has it’s time needed to create, giving me the chance for creativity.
9. How much time do you need to create your product?
As in the previous question, each item has its required time.
10. Is there anything specific that you would like to tell Sharmers?
I’d like to tell Sharmers a simple statement - in desserts there are no rules, Just the good taste. So get out of the box, and the standard types, and try new twists.

Do Women Really Believe the Earth is Flat? If they Venture Forth Will they Fall off the Edge?
I do not walk in front of my man to test the ground for landmines.
(E.Moon)
The ‘F’ word has no place in my vocabulary.
Instead I have a belief in ‘EOG’
Feminism is an outdated adjective.
EOG sounds more like a substance to save the planet doesn’t it? However it is my own personal belief in ‘Equality of Genders.’ There now I have said it.
Feminism has been around since the 18th century. In 1792 May Wollstonecraft published her Vindication on the Rights of Woman, an important work advocating the rights of women.
Mary’s attitude stems from being born the daughter of a brutish, tyrannical father who bullied his wife into an exhausted state of servitude.
My answer to the male gender that retains the belief they can chain a woman’s mind and body is simply, “get a grip.” No one can own or chain a mind, you cannot steal another human being’s thoughts and you cannot strangle a soul.

An Expert's Guide To Bargain Shopping In Cairo
By Soraya Morayef
Anyone who claims that they can’t find bargain shopping in Cairo is delusional. First of all, we Egyptians love a good bargain; we may not have created the concept of sales and discounts, but we very well could have. Just take a look at any discount store around the world (Primark, Dollar Store, Forever 21), and you may find several of us arguing loudly over the Sale of the Day rack.
