Last week, I received an order from my mom’s friend. It was a very brief and unplanned meeting at a local supermarket; we exchanged numbers, email and wed address; and the next thing I knew, she has placed an order for her sister’s wedding. How cool is that? I wish I could get more orders like this!

The client did not specify any details for the cupcakes, as she said she trusted my taste and anything that looked sweet would be fine..see, very simple, right?? again, how i wish i get more orders like this!! hahha

So, i came out with a garden theme and chose burgandy and ivory as the theme colours. Very sweet and classy combination. But one MAJOR problem! My camera couldnt capture the colours! How lame is that?? No matter how hard I tried, the flowers came out purple and not burgandy!!! At the moment, I will hv to be satisfied with this purple looking garden cuppies and have to wait patiently (veerryy patienly) for my brother to upload the ‘real burgandy cuppies’. He’s using Canon 5D Mark II, so you’ll definitely see the differences later..

OK, back to the order. It was quite a large order, considering that I have less than a week to come out with the design and find the right packaging.  The order was placed on a Tuesday evening and the items must be delivered after Friday prayers. Nasib laa baik I’m famous for being a ‘procrastinator’ back in the college, so I get to adjust myself to last minute order. Luckily, I get to choose my own design, my own colour combination and my own way of doing it. So, I wasn’t that pressured and was actually enjoying the process!! Imagine I had to do more than 1,200pcs of mini flowersss in less than a day!! I HAVE TO ENJOY THE WHOLE PROCESS!!! hahah

Ok, these are the cuppies fresh from the oven. The smell was sssoooo good that I couldnt resist taking a bite. Ok! two bites! ok ok ok! the whole cup! I ate the whole cup!! hahhaha

Anyway, this is the closest to the actual colour that my camera managed to capture. This was before I decorated them with green leaves.

Now, the cupcakes after the final touch aka make-up!

I know, I know.. you think the ones without make up/leaves, look better kan?? I really wish you could see the actual cuppies with the leaves..they’re much nicer from the picture! wah!! terlebih angkat bakul ssuuddaahh!! hahhaha.. and sorry about the isn’t so good quality picture. I had to do lots of editing, tuning the lights n shadows, glowing them here and there, softening the edges laa ape laa…Kan best if i can just blink my eyes to capture the pictures and when they’re uploaded, the pictures will look exactly the way I see them! hahah..my sister is an optometrist, I would definitely suggest this idea to her. Any intrested sponsors?? hehe

These are the cupcakes in individual boxes. A few leaves were harmed in the packaging process! (I hate it when they look PURPLE!)

And finally into the delivery box.

Alright! that’s all for this time. Will be updating soon for more. Insyallah. Many thanks for reading!
