Almost too cut to eat soji cake pops
Nothing says’ celebration like cake pops. Bianca Naidoo’s Indian twist on the everyday vanilla cake pop has a second twist to it. Her Soji cake is made from Taystee Wheat instead of Soji (semolina).
Kershnee Kallee, Marketing Manager at Jungle, says that although there are so many dishes that come to mind when you think of Diwali, the festival is most famous for its sweet goods. “One of the most commonly baked Diwali dishes has to be Soji Cake, which is most commonly made with Semolina; however, bakers can also use Taystee Wheat which is a staple in so many homes due to its versatile nature.”
