The Reasons Why

 

 

 

Sugar & Vanilla Q & A

 

 

Q : Can I have your phone no. so that I can call you ?
A : Of course you can have my phone no. But I just prefer if we discuss about the orders through email / private message at facebook / whatsapp. It's easier for me to refer back on the details later on. And also it's not easy for me to quote the price immediately when you ask through phone calls. I need to check back with the list of prices and all.



Q : Do you do delivery ?
A : No. I don't do delivery. I don't have the time to do the delivery myself but at the same time I have trust issue if let say I would ask someone else to deliver it for me. Since most of the things are fully decorated, it is best if you come and pick them up at my house. I will only do delivery if the cake is huge (3 tier and above) and the location is only in Shah Alam.



Q : I need the cake by this weekend.
A : May I know the exact date and time of pick up. I need to know by when the desserts need to be ready for you to pick up. The date and time for you to eat/use the goodies and different than the date and time for the pick up. And I only need to know the exact date for you to come to my house.



Q : Why don't you sell red velvet at bazaar ?
A : Red velvet goes so well with cream cheese. And cream cheese is a big NO NO for our hot weather / humidity. It can only last 3 hours outside the refrigerator. I'm just afraid it will upset your tummy. Especially most bazaars that I joined were just so hot. This same goes to fresh cream. Big NO NO.



Q : How many kilograms is the cake ?
A : I don't go by kilograms, but I go by inches. Since most of my cakes are decorated, more important for me is to know the size of the cake instead of the weigh. For, example - A cake for a hantaran is measured by the size of the cake so that it can fit perfectly on the dulang hantaran.



Q : Can I order a full fondant red velvet cake ?
A : It is not advisable for a red velvet cake to be decorated with fondant. Or even heavy decoration of buttercream as the cake is very moist. It might not hold up the decorations. Same goes to moist chocolate cake.



Q : When should I make the final confirmation ?
A : As soon as possible, please. Do make your payment within the time frame given, otherwise I'll let go your slot to other people. I'm working alone on this so the orders that I can accept is limited. But of course, after the expiry time for payment, usually I'll check back with you. With valid reasons, I don't mind the late payment. But do update me by email / sms.



Q : I've already made the payment. Please check your bank account.
A : But I need the proof of payment with details. Different bank, different time for the payment to transfer to my account. Even if I check, the payment might not be transferred yet. So I really need the proof of payment otherwise the order is cancel.



Q : What time can I pick up the desserts ?
A : From 7 am to 9 pm only. I'm still living with my parents. So I prefer if you can pick up the goodies before 9 pm. It's a way of me respecting them. Maybe if one day I live in my own house, I totally don't mind for you to come at 12 am to pick up the goodies. Or lets just pray that I will soon have my own shop. Heeeee.



Q : "I'm already in front of your house."
A : "Hold on, I need to wear my hijab first." If you can let me know that you're coming in another 10 minutes, that would be great. At least I have the time to wear my jubbah and hijab. But it's not a big deal if you just show up at my house, it's just that I'll feel guilty that you have to wait 3 minutes for me to get ready.



Q : Do you do advertising ?
A : Say whaaat? I'm not famous. I think I'm the one who needs to pay to advertise my cakes. But I'm flattered that few of you already asked me this. I just feel that I'm not there yet. Maybe one day or maybe never.



Q : Kakak or adik ?
A : I know I may look older than my age (so sad). But I'll be 24 this year (2013). So if you were not sure to call me kakak or adik, now you know.

Again with Ruffles

 

 

Help..!! I can't stop doing ruffles designs.

Ok but I'm loving ruffles.

 

 

This is a hantaran cake.

Ordered by my friend, Leha for her cousin's nikah.

 

The top of the cake is bare (in the picture) because that's where I wrote "Selamat Pengantin Baru".

But I took the picture before I piped it just because.

And thought of to take another picture after the piping.

But of course I totally forgot since I finished the cake totally last minute.

Leha arrived my house 5 minutes after I finished piping.

 

 

Loving the ruffles.

Yes I said it again.

Love the concept that I made the ruffles for the cake borders.

Leha said she trusts me on the design.

Hee hope everyone likes it.

Safari Cake

 

Safari themed cake.

Ordered by the famous blogger Shea Rasol for her sister's birthday.

 

 

 

 

 

The cake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The letterings and stars are dusted with edible gold glitters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The zebra print base.

It's just fun to see the leopard print goes so well next to the zebra print.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ribbon fondant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cake inside was an ombre pink stacked cake.

Do check out Shea's blog for the picture of the vanilla cake inside..!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy belated birthday, Iqa..!!

We met once at the OBB Prelove Party.

I remember you bought my jelly and cupcakes.

Yeay..!! Hope you love your birthday cake.

You have such a lovely sister that surprised you with this :)

 

 

And thank you so much Shea for ordering this.

It was fun to make as the theme is not what I've done before.

Love that I got the chance to explore new designs.

It was nice meeting you and hope to see you again.

Mixed Designs Cake

 

 

2 tier oreo wedding Cake.

For a friend of mine.

Two weeks before she ordered the hantaran cake.

And this one was for the wedding ceremony at her husband's side.

 

 

 

My idea was to do mixed designs.

Made modern square designs for the background. More like architectural designs.

For the flowers I chose the in thing ruffles design with pearl buds.

And put a little bit of classic, which is the leaves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Often I see the bride and groom will cut at the back of the cake.

 

But to put another set of decoration there is not really necessary.

Since the cake will not move from the cutting table on the stage or beside the 'meja pengantin'.

And plus the cost will definitely be more.

(But if you want the design to be all around, do let me know.)

 

 

So instead of leaving it bare, I just put a small ribbon at the back.

Abah's Birthday

 

 

 

A cake I made for my dad's birthday. But we celebrated a few days earlier since we had a small family vacation at Johor.

 

I have a cousin staying in Johor. He has 4 comel kids which my family and I just adore. So I brought the cake all the way to Johor. Luckily it was not that high of a cake. With my brother's driving and a full decorated cake, the combination just scares me a lot. But Alhamdulillah, the cake arrived in good condition.

 

 

Imagine that I had to do the cake as fast as I can on Friday while my dad is at work so he doesn't find out about the cake. And on Saturday morning, had to sneak it in into the car (My siblings drove one car, and my parents drove another car).

 

 

I wrote there 'Happy Birthday Tok Joe' instead of 'Abah' is because my nieces and nephews call my dad 'Tok Joe'. And another thing if you're wondering, why the cake is so small against the rule of cake decoration (at least 4 inch high). We only celebrated with the 8 of us. So I don't feel the need to bake another layer.

 

 

 

 

Happy birthday Abah..!! My prayers are always with you. Thank you so much for everything you had done for me. Thanks for my education, food, clothes, and the list goes on and on. Thanks for supporting me in my business. To always care about me and my future. I love you forever. May Allah bless you always.
