New Year, New Focus!

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Hi all,

I want to thank you all for your great support the past 2 years this business has been in existence! I thank each and every one of you who have made Dolce Cupcakes who we are today! Truly, we are nothing without our fans and clients! Much digital love to you all!!! Man, I am overwhelmed!

What started as a way to earn money as a student has really thrived into something possibly and potentially REALLY big!

The way I’ve run it though, has been exactly what an ill-equipped designer would do! In beginning my degree this year, it has opened my eyes to better ways of doing things more efficiently to free up myself for my strengths and to delegate through a formal business. To my entrepreneurial friends out there, you know we need systems to do things! No system, no nothing! :)

I am taking this year off to focus on my studies, on my other priorities in life; Not to relax, but to really work hard on learning, equipping myself, and studying instead of simply doing, so that my “doing” will improve in leaps and bounds when I do begin. I was ill-equipped and I don’t have what it takes to go further. The cowboy-way was a great experience, I am thankful for it, but I am going back to college & life-learning in personhood areas as I’ve realised, what you invest in is what you reap! A strong foundation is what we all need, and I am excited to build my foundation firm and strong before embarking out on my mission! I will be knowing exactly what I want to achieve business wise & personal-wise. This time, not like a headless chicken.

Guys, it has been an AWESOME 2 years. I really, really at this moment know how much you guys all mean to me, without you truly, truly…this business is nothing!

Thank you for your support! I may be back, bigger and better!

God bless! I hope this encourages other entrepreneurs out there who have hit a stag in their business or know they need to develop character qualities as a foundation in ourselves to be the best we can be. It requires hard work, but it’s so worth it :)

So grateful for you all! Blessings,
Eunice

Shiao Lie’s wedding

Friday, January 8th, 2010

A month ago, I was contacted to do a wedding theme that signified the different interests of the couple. Her interests were fashion, shoes, bags (books, boys, cheesecake, …WHOOPS just teasing!) and he is an engineer. After clearing up my initial confusion as to what would signify engineering, we came up with this!

I hope you enjoyed those! I particularly enjoyed making the hats, shoes and bags…just today, I received these wonderful pictures AND this wonderful email from the bride!

Allergy Free Cupcakes in Malaysia

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

First of its kind! At least for me! ;-) There is a growing population of gluten-allergic folks in the world right now, but none I have really met so far in Malaysia. Well I had such a really (failure full!) tough time experimenting in the kitchen for this recipe but it finally came good!

I almost gave up after too many failures (I thought it was impossible already!) but at my last shot, it turned out great. A whole mix up of stuff+chocolate. The time spent in these babies were nigh worth the price, but I’m glad to have found a recipe like this! Did you knwo how hard it is to get a good texture without flour? Tis hard work yo!

Gluten free, egg free and dairy free. By the way, happy new year! 2010.
