'Heeramani Packaging' in Vashi is a Baker's Haven for home bakers in Navi  Mumbai. Whether you are a beginner or expert in baking, you will get all that you may be looking for making your cakes and chocolates.

From baking pans, tins and cupcake pans in aluminium, non-stick steel and silicone, cupcake liners, cookie cutters, chocolate moulds and wrappers, cake decoration supplies like fondant tools, piping nozzles and bags, whisks and mats, cookie cutters, cake stand and weighing scales, cooling racks, measuring spoons and cups, fancy packaging for cakes, cupcake and chocolates and more......., 

Also edibles like chocolate slabs, chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, essences, sprinklers, heavy cream....

I started baking a year back and have got all my supplies from here. I didn't even know the names of equipment properly, and didnt have a proper list of the essentials. I was properly guided here and got my beginner's essentials and there's no looking back since then.

The highlights are that you get 'All Under One Roof' with prompt and friendly service. Here's a product list I grabbed from their Facebook page for the benefit of bakers who are looking for resources in Navi Mumbai.

This is my entry for ABC Wednesday -  B for 'Baker's Haven'

It's festival time in Mumbai - Raksha Bandhan 16th Aug, Krishna Janmashtami 24th Aug and Ganesh Chaturthi 3rd Sep, and Dussehrra and Diwali in October, and most of the gift shops will display traditional decorations.

Raghuleela Mall

Raghuleela Mall is one of the biggest and popular malls in Navi Mumbai, and is on a prime location exactly opposite Vashi Station. The mall not yet being fully functional, Future Group's Big Bazaar in the mall is the favourite shopping paradise.
I love the architecture of the mall. Photography is not permitted in the mall, so I could not get any photos of the atrium.
