Cupcake Culinarians at Machik Weekend 2013
Written by Tenzin Thokmey
Pema Dolker and Tsewang Sichoe are two life-long friends who share a great passion for baking, so much so that they now work and study at a culinary institution. They both hope to grow and further their baking skills. At the same time, both Pema and Tsewang also understand how truly important education is for the development of any individual. When they first learned from friends about Machik’s mission and work, they became very inspired and, in particular, were drawn to the results in growing Tibetan education in Tibet. They then decided to combine their passions for baking and education by creating specialy cupcakes, sold exclusively at the 7th annual Machik Weekend on November 9th and 10th in New York City. The beautiful cupcakes were a huge hit and all the proceeds were donated to Machik. Pema and Tsewang especially wanted to thank their friends John Agustin and Marie for their support in production of the cupcakes.
