**Sweetness meets sisterhood!** 🇮🇳💗

This Friday, Jacobina Bakery continues its North Indian adventure with a table full of cardamom, mango, carrots, rose, pistachios and enough butter to make restraint feel terribly unreasonable.

A little honesty before we begin: **layer cakes are not the traditional centre of North Indian dessert culture.** The region is better known for sweets made with milk, reduced milk solids, rice, nuts, ghee, syrup, bread, lentils and vegetables such as carrots. Instead of pretending that our cakes are ancient Indian classics, we have taken the flavours and ingredients of beloved desserts and translated them into the language we know best—**bakery**. India’s many regional cuisines are extraordinarily diverse, and dairy and spices are especially important parts of their culinary character.

# # Our North Indian sweet menu

🥕 **Gajar Halwa-Inspired Cake — R40**
Traditional *gajar ka halwa* is a slow-cooked carrot dessert made with milk, ghee, sugar, cardamom and nuts, often enjoyed warm during the colder months. Our version is not traditional gajar halwa—it is a moist carrot cake inspired by those flavours, finished with cardamom frosting and pistachios.

In other words: carrot wore its best outfit and came to market.

🥭 **Mango & Cardamom Yoghurt Cake — R40**
A light, moist yoghurt cake scented with cardamom and topped with sweet mango. This is a modern Jacobina creation using flavours that feel beautifully at home together: creamy yoghurt, fragrant spice and sunny mango.

It tastes like summer took a small detour through our oven.

☕ **Masala Chai Shortbread — R35**
Buttery, crumbly shortbread infused with tea, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and a tiny whisper of black pepper.

A biscuit for anyone who believes tea should come with a snack—and the snack should preferably be another biscuit.

🌹 **Gulab Jamun Cheesecake Cup — R55**
Traditional gulab jamun are soft milk-based dumplings, fried until golden and soaked in fragrant syrup. Our dessert cup combines creamy cheesecake with pieces of syrupy gulab jamun, cardamom and rose.

Traditional gulab jamun met cheesecake. Neither one apologised.

🍞 **Shahi Tukda — R45**

**Spice up your Friday!** ✨

Our buttery **Masala Chai Shortbread** is gently spiced, beautifully crumbly and just daring enough to make ordinary tea feel slightly underdressed.

Carbs are coming! 🇮🇳🔥🥖

This August, Jacobina Bakery is packing its imaginary passport, firing up the ovens and beginning a delicious journey through India — starting with the bold, buttery breads of North India.

Our first stop is Amritsar, a city in the Punjab region of northern India and home to the famous Amritsari kulcha. The word “Amritsari” simply means “from Amritsar” or “in the style of Amritsar.”

And judging by the amount of butter involved, the people of Amritsar clearly understand that bread deserves to be treated with respect. 😄

Our North Indian bread menu

🫓 Amritsari Garlic & Coriander Naan — R35
A soft, lightly charred flatbread flavoured with fresh garlic and coriander, then brushed with butter while still warm. Perfect for scooping up curry, tearing and sharing—or eating directly from the packet before you reach home. No judgement here.

🥔 Amritsari Kulcha — R40
A soft, golden North Indian bread filled with warmly spiced potato, coriander and aromatic spices. It is traditionally cooked until crisp and blistered outside, while remaining soft and comforting inside. In Amritsar, kulcha is commonly served with chickpea curry and generous amounts of butter.

🔥 Tandoori-Spiced Sourdough — R75
Our Jacobina sourdough is taking a trip to North India! We have paired its naturally fermented flavour with fragrant tandoori spices, cumin, coriander, garlic and nigella seeds. It is not a traditional Indian loaf, but rather our own meeting of Pennington sourdough and North Indian spice.

Bread is central to meals across much of North India. Naan, kulcha, roti and paratha are not simply side dishes—they are often used to scoop up curries, lentils, vegetables and sauces. Cutlery is optional; enthusiastic tearing, dipping and sharing are encouraged.

Friday, 7 August
09h00–12h00
Live Love Laugh Pop-Up Market in Pennington

Our ovens are going to be very busy, so please place your pre-orders by Wednesday at 12h00 for our Indian breads as well as our standard Jacobina range.

Come hungry. Leave naan the wiser. 🇮🇳🥖

What can we say... our club members are simply incredible. ❤️

As many of you know, Shaun's drone recently decided it wanted to become one with the ocean! 🌊🚁

Despite the early mornings and long hours, Shaun has always been there to capture those unforgettable launch videos for us all. It's something he does purely as a labour of love for our club.

A huge thank you to Clive Chambler for so generously donating Shaun a replacement drone, and to our boat owner members Evan Antel, Grant Ketteringham, Neil Keight, Mark Hawksworth, Phil Hockaday, and Ferdi Grotsius for digging deep to help fund the additional batteries.

Your generosity means those spectacular launch videos will continue for everyone to enjoy.

This is what community is all about. Thank you for proving, once again, what makes Pennington Ski Boat Club so special. 💙🎣
