I graduated from Georgian Technical University, Faculty of Informatics, but I soon realized that communication with people was more interesting for me than technology.

I have been working in completely different fields for years. At the same time I was always in quest of myself.

Three years ago, I made a very important decision in my life. I decided that I no longer wanted to have a routine work. I wanted to have my own business and income. During this period I attended a general management course at Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA), which gave me inspiration and motivated me. I did not have any investments to start a business in that period, so I recalled my forgotten hobby.

I loved baking since childhood, though I have never studied it professionally.

It found out that not so much inventory was needed to make beautiful cookies, and the basic ingredients (butter, sugar, flour) are available in almost every household. After several test versions of the cookies I opened my business page on social media and the first orders did not delay. This is how “Gaamo”, which I am raising and taking care of as a child, was born.

Currently, I am actively conducting master classes and teach how to cover cookies with drawings. I believe that ornamenting cookies is a kind of therapy and I want to share my knowledge and experience that I have accumulated over the last three years with as many people as possible. At the same time, I am mastering the confectionery art at the Vocational College “Ikaros”.

In the future I am going to open my own studio-workshop, where anyone will have the opportunity to come and learn how to cook cookies. Nino Shoshiashvili - Founder of online confectionery “Gaamo”.

step 1

Melt the sugar into a deep saucepan or pan, gradually add boiling water, diced butter, ground spices, honey, and salt. Finally add soda. Keep in mind that the mass will increase considerably in volume. It is best to turn down the flame as much as possible or turn it off.

step 2

Add 1 egg or 2 egg yolks in the cooled mass.

step 3

Knead the flour step by step for 5 - 10 minutes. The dough should not stick to the hands. Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and put in the fridge for at least 24 hours.

step 4

Half an hour before baking, take the dough out of the fridge (leave it at room temperature for getting warm), roll it to 0.5 cm thickness. Bake (on baking silicone or baking paper) for 6-7 minutes at 180 degrees.

step 5

The ready dough is stored in the fridge for 1 month.

step 6

Put all the ingredients in the mixer. Mix first with a flat head at low speed and then at medium speed.

step 7

Stop mixing as soon as the mass becomes white and glossy.

step 8

Place the icing in a pastry bag and paint and glue the house walls. The icing dries at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
