Dear everyone,

Been away in beeaauuuutiful Bandung, Indonesia and 3 other cities around Southeast Asia for the past month! It’s been a great experience, waking up each day ready for adventure. It’s gooooood to be home in Kuala Lumpur. And now it’s back to baking!

It’s been such a wonderful time since beginning this blog way back in 2007, when I was 16. I’m 20 now! And ready to begin a new adventure with… yes, Cupcakes!

The surprise-adventure is the opening of a lil place sometime soon, it’s a surprise for me! But the wheels are definitely kicking into motion!

Now I’m deciding if I should major in designer cupcakes and cakes, OR miniature bite sized cupcakes with many exciting flavours, OR be a wedding dessert supplier, OR make gluten-free cupcakes!

These thoughts are in a whirl in my head! There are legalities to work hard through. It’s eye opening, and I really want to learn everything I can! All the money nested away from our years of home-baking is going to be used to start up & finance equipment.. And, the best part… Hoping to find girls who won’t mind working hard and dreaming with me!

Well, as I keep on preparing, here’s a hello from us in Bandung, with sugar sweet sunshine shining in! :D

I love these girls! My sisters & cousin, assistants and friends. Between us we’ve made probably a thousand cupcakes! It’s a lot of hard work, but lots of fun times. Much love & appreciation to them!

Happy fourth, those in the US! And have a blessed day everyone else!

Hey everyone!

I’ve been getting orders from here and there and everywhere ~ so I’m sorry if I didn’t reply as I didn’t receive them! Do direct emails to shebakes.shebakes@gmail.com thank you! :)

On other happy thoughts… we have a new logo!!!

Do you like it? :D

I’m really happy to blog about a cake again – the first order I’ve done in a LOOONG TIME! This time it’s an orange Hermès Birkin Bag! :) It was a real breeze doing it, surprisingly… I’ve learnt a little more about planning the process and not taking shortcuts so Praise GOD about how this baby turned out!! :)

I will be taking selective orders on Cake Bags now and make more time to blog about the process. I’m thrilled where this will go :D

The final project (thank you so much, A. E.!)

The back of the bag; neat and tidy and unashamed to be seen! :D

A close up!

Does the bag look slimmer at this angle? ;)

Hi Guys! I haven’t blogged here in a while. I just logged into my control panel and found a MAHASSIVE load of comments from you guys that I will reply today. Thank you thank you :))

As for today’s entry, it’s about a cool website recommended by a friend called CEKODOK.com, a local Malaysian food guide that helps you count the calories of the food you eat everyday. It’s a great start to begin being aware of nutrition in your daily life, because what you eat on a daily basis contributes to what you become.

You are what you eat!
