oh my...it has been quite a while since i had anything to type about. not that my life has been a flat journey! oh wait, who am i kiddin? it has been pretty dull. no!! maybe its because of the very stretchy holiday that i'm in now. but it'll soon end...very very soon! too soon almost! XD but i'm here to rewind a little and "reflect" on my life journeys for the couple of months. Lim will be very proud!! okay here goes, a couple of months or was it weeks ago? i tink it was around the month of May, it was nearly teachers' day and i decided to take my mother's experimental 
baking habits to another level. i told izni and i quote 'kite patut buat yg cam dedication tu kt skola u and sell cupcakes. ade x org yg da put up posters?'. well it didn't start from an idea of starting my very own business but more to opening more opportunites to my sister's future (just in case UNI isn't her cup of tea) and a little side income would not hurt anybody in this house. okay, so izni didn't manage to give out the flyers as i hoped but it was a start and i'm open to any number. so, i guess it was about urmmm 10 orders all together but 15 boxes of cupcakes. these were the leftovers. they were suppose to be for my cousins in KL hence the foam box. but Apu didn't show up so, they didn't get any! =( soon after that, i started having visions and daydreams of our very own cupcake line in JB. i don't here any buzzes yet about these cupcakes here so i tot why not give them the 'cupcake fever' and slowly spread the virus like a disease. 
LOL i started to create a blog for our cupcakes. choosing the ryte name for it wasn't easy! i liked the word "polkaswirl" but later i realized cuppcakes had one of their designs named after that word so i didn't want that name any longer. then, i tot of my mom, behind all of this, she does the baking, so it's far more than appropriate that i include something 'mother-ish' in the name. so we settled for "mommacakes". only to know a couple of hours later that ade org putih ni that uses that name (thank god she's in USA) and a singaporean baker that also does nice cupcakes calls herself 'cupcakes momma' similar but different. suprisingly, when i first started, i was all hush about the mommacakes blog. i didn't tell anyone, not until the site started to get various hits and ppl asking about the cakes. i was a little insecure at the beginning becoz it was my baby and i don't like to have it crushed. but when i told ppl about it, especially my family (mom dad sister brothers grannies cousins aunts uncle) and my beautiful PANCAKES!! (iloveyou) they were excellent! their reactions towards what i was doing were priceless!! thank you everyone, sue, bof, jay, vie, nani !!
