My Big Break

I was chowing down on my big bowl of laksa when suddenly my iphone rang.

"Assalamualaikum. Ini Eda Cupcakes ke?"

" Waalaikumsalam. A'ah kak Eda ler ni " (Great. Another customer call. Wrong time. Urgh.)

" OK kak. Saya ni Aimi Syazana, Brand Analyst dari Wanita Inspirasiku TV3. Saya call dari kolumpo ni kak. Just nak bagitau yang saya nak jemput akak untuk join event kitorang di Karnival Jom Heboh, Stadium Negeri sabtu ni. Kalau boleh kami nak akak sediakan Dessert Table untuk booth Wanita Inspirasiku selama 2 hari. Hihihi... Nasib baek saya terjumpa blog akak ni dalam internet. Itu pun dah naik jenuh cari sebab saya tak kenal sapa-sapa kat Kuching. So akak nak tak? "

(At this point, I was chocking terribly on my laksa. Face turned red and had to get myself a drink first before I responded).

*cricket sound*

" Hello? Akak ok ke? Akak terkejut ek.. Hihihi.."

The oh-so-pretty Candy Cart provided for me.

Hot day!

My lil elf who was very eager to help. Just because so she could snap some pictures with her fave celebrities!

The Dessert Table aka Candy Buffet spread I did. All candies were for sale. 

On top of that, I was asked to give a demo on cupcakes decorating together with local artiste who were present that day. They were Hanif (Anak Wayang), Nazim Othman (Kau Yang Terindah), Watie (Elite), Erry Putra, Emilda Rosmila and many more. Unlike Ayra and some other screaming fans, I wasn't too starstruck to see them. Mak ok jer..

With Hanif and Nazim Othman.

Both guys are actually quite skillful and they've got pretty neat piping!

Nazim wrote his name on the cupcakes and sold them to his adoring fans. All profits went to Tabung Bersamamu TV3.

This ex-steward sold his cupcake for a whopping RM30 each!

It's definitely not easy having a famous face I tell you. It was scorching hot and yet they still need to smile and pose for the camera. All for a good cause.

My 5 seconds shot to fame :D

When I posted all these pictures in our facebook page, there were so many positive comments and feedback I received. Many of you were also excited to see me on tv and congratulated me for this big break. Auww... I'm so touched. Thank you uols. You guys were my really big supporters and I really appreciate all that *hugs*

And of course, I couldn't have done it without this lady. If it wasn't for her effort in googling me over the internet, I wouldn't be there. Thank you Aimi Syazana. I look forward to working with your great team again next year.

I wanted so much to write more words other than just the thank yous but time got the worst of me. The pictures have been kept for far too long and I just had to say my thanks before I forget the names of kind people who ordered my cakes.

After I published the pictures, I attacked one full basket of laundry hoping to finish folding the clothes at 3.30am. With the snoring from my significant other and the short coughing from the boys across the bedroom, I wonder how many other mommies out there who are still awake with gazillion tasks at their hands. How are we supposed to have our beauty sleep when we never stop running errands from day to night?

OK I better stop now. Time to get those eyes shut before the kids are awake!

Thank you Cynthia Chua for ordering these. Had absolutely no idea she was the same old Cynthia way back from high school years until she came to pick up the cookies personally. Small world!

 

 

 

For hubby's cousin Nor Abriza. Thank you cuz. Happy engagement day :)

Rainbow cake for my good friend way back in Uni years. Thank you Siti Azima!

Again thank you Cynthia! Beside sugar cookies, her orders also include rental of this beautifully decorated cupcake tier and 50pcs cupcakes with fondant flowers.

Been a long chaotic 5 months since I last posted a single entry in this blog. And when I'm in the mood (of writing), ze blog decided to shun me with a whole new setting I'm not familiar with. Urgh..

Go on and sulk Blog. Come back crawling to me when you're done! And while you're at it, take the broom and mop and start clean up this space. So many cobwebs in here and I'm not the one responsible...

La Senza Concept Store Opening

We were honored to be commissioned by La Senza Malaysia for their recent concept store opening at The Spring, Kuching. We were excited to be able to prepare a beautiful spread for the event. A Dessert Table or Candy Buffet is a new 'it' thing in KL and it's basically a spread full of sweet treats for your guests to indulge or simply pack and bring home. For more info of the event, check out La Senza Malaysia official fb page. 

PS: email us for the package, if interested. Can also be customized according to your party theme :)

I must say that my fondant cakework is not up to par compared to other talented bakers around here. It's still a bit sloppy with non-existence attention to details, much to my dismay. I blame this entirely on my impatience and lack of skills especially when working with fondant. Not that you need a college degree to ace it but go and ask any bakers and they will tell you the same thing. Practice makes perfect. Hmm... Think I should consider getting more fondant projects in the future...

This was a birthday cake I made for my cousin who celebrated her 21st birthday last November. It was a makeup, girly girl cake with lots of makeup products on it. She wanted zebra stripes and bright pink balls around the perimeter of the cake. But the pictures here did not reflect the exact tone because the tiny balls were actually shocking pink. A very pretty fuschia pink.

Anyway, I was just as happy to learn that she liked my cake. Thank you and Happy Belated Birthday, Melina Minos :)

Red Velvets for Ayra's teachers before the school break. I know, it's a wayy delayed entry. Sorry!

A sample I did for a recent photo shoot and interview for the local newspaper Utusan Sarawak. Perfect doorgift for a baby shower, full moon or majlis bercukur / akikah. Can also be customized for other party favors such as birthday, engagement / wedding or corporate launching. Email us for the package :)

Some favors given by Sharifah to her colleagues before she bids farewell to office. Thanks Sharifah for this order.

It's the wedding season...

Thank you Nor & Sabu. And thanks to my sis for promoting :p
