It is not 'JUST-A-CAKE'

I need to tell u a story... a story on how these standardize sets came about...

I know cupcake is now a new 'fad' in malaysia and ard the world just like how doughnuts, rotiboy and etc were a 'fad'. But what's different between cupcakes with cream and cupcakes with 'sugar art' is... well, firstly - definitely the price and secondly... cupcakes with sugar art on it is no longer 'just-a-cake'!

It's not fair for me to get upset when I get lots of feedback such as 'huh? cake also so expensive?' or 'huh! 12 cupcakes so expensive? what if i cut down to 9?" I always cry silently to these questions...

Honestly, anyone can bake cupcakes. Just look up your favorite cake recipe, be it a simple sponge cake, those pre-mix cakes you can get at any stores or just google up for something u like and there u go! 20 minutes later u are waiting for a fresh batch of cupcakes baking in the oven. Seriously, if you want to give someone a gift and make it more personalized, why not you bake and I decorate? :)

But when u add on a piece of 'sugar art'... now, depending on what 'sugar art' u want... these little sugar arts (be it smaller or big) are very time consuming! Some can take up to 3-4 hours per figure! It is an art - not just-a-cake. An edible art to be more exact...

For the past 2 years (esp recently), I have been receiving a lot of orders which I have to turn down. I must have disappointed many of you but trust me, it is not easy on my part too - i feel very bad :( Whenever I accept an order, I strive to do my very best - and creativity needs inspiration and inspiration don't come easily! I don't have a template or anything like that. Each order is given different attention and different thought! Also, as an artist, I value my art pieces and hope you do too.

Another question which I am asked all the time is "U sell cupcake? I want 9 pieces. How much?" or 'I want your price list' or 'I want to order one birthday cupcake set'... very often, I spend hours replying the same thing but it hit me, maybe it's all me... I've not made it easy for you.. Maybe i've not specified them clearly enough... and trust me... I'm planning more ways to make it easier for you all... To those of you who get really confused in finding information that you want... I am really sorry!

Hopefully, the birth of these new standardized sets to be launched real soon... will solve some of 'our' dilemma! Pricing for these 'pre-designed' sets will be a lot more affordable. But rest assured... these pre-designed sets are still customizable to a certain extent!

Customized orders will still be taken but each customized orders will be quoted after a clear discussion of your request!

Until then, stay tune! Thanks for having been so patient with me all this while!

Thank you!

Jocelyn & Lennard

This is quite an embarrassing story to tell :( This order goes way way back last year when the couple Jocelyn & Lennard tied the knot! Just last week, I made Lennard's birthday cupcakes together with their new addition to the family - baby Ryleigh! She is 2 months old now... She how long overdue this is? I need to be more efficient!

Anyway, they requested for a romantic seaside theme! I really love their set-up. It is sooo pretty! The wedding is @ Lone Pine by the sea side... I shall let the pictures do the story telling :)

Such a beautiful wedding!

Congratulations (again) Jocelyn & Lennard!

Fahmida & Irshath

This wedding goes back to Feb 09 when Fahmida & Irshath tied the knot! Their request was quite last minute but manageable :) Their theme was very simple but elegant & nice.
