I love to do dozens. I either choose the white casing (standard) or the brown casing (smaller ones). Depend on likings though.
2. Cupcake flavours
Currently, I'm able to bake mainly: vanilla, chocolate, nutella swirls, choc chip, strawberry and coffee cupcakes. I'll further explore to the range of flavours gradually.
3. Frosting flavour
What I can recommend for the type of frostings are as follows:
- for those who prefers mild sweetness: go for chocolate/white chocolate ganache.
- for those classics: blueberry, raspeberry jam
- for those who prefer vintage cupcake: vanilla/chocolate buttercream frosting
- for those who are plain simple: no frosting, fret not, it will be as pretty.
4. Cupcake theme & design
The crazier the idea the better. Challenge is my middle name. *Grins*.
I'll explore through my journey of bakery.
5. Packaging
Usually how I store/place the cakes are in the box. The cakes does behave if you see them in my album. So, it didn't get clumsy. As gifts, usually, I recommend ribbons or any additional stuff like crepe paper, decos like roses, extra chocolates or marshmallows in the box to give the extra ummpphh....
6. Cupcakes: delivered/collection?
The west region is the hometown. My friends collect the lovelies from there or I deliver to them as and when my schedule permits.
7. Why cupcakes?
Cos its fun. They are xclusive ideas, I create, taadaaa.... a magical creation. It's just different from the conventional birthday cakes. It's a sincere gift well thought through for that special someone for any form of event. It's cute, sexy and macho at the same time for anyone to give a big surrrppprrise.
