.. and thats how it started....

first post for the blog.... how should we start, huh?? let me share with you how it all begins.. once a point of time... hahahhaha... kidding... :)

well, sheeda and me loves baking... and we have this dream of having our own "pusat lepak" aka cafe... this idea have been playing in our mind since loooooong time ago... esp when so stress at work... biasala berangan.... but dunno where to start and also no guts yet... imagine la opening a cafe is such a BIG thing... commitments plus the capital needed... bukan boleh main bukak jer... kena la ada concept, menu, strategic location... so many things to figure out... so, lama2 it remains there as a dream still la... not materialise...

ntah camner this topic on cakes and cupcakes arises... i guess its part of our discussion dalam skype la.... masa tu we all tekad la nak cuba buat cupcakes... at least on a part time basis la... masa tu raya... ingat lagi i brought over the first batch of the choc cupcakes for them to taste ... kat rumah sheeda masa tu... it was just a simple choc cupcakes with creamcheese topping... and they love it... bawak gi office, also get good comments.... tak tahu la if they say sedap coz its free masa tu kan... hehehe...

frankly, me & sheeda... we only know how to bake... but we are hopeless when it comes to promoting and marketing products.... that was one of the biggest challenge to both of us.... masa nak quote harga kat orang... takut termahal sangat ke... ok ke tak... mcm2 la... maklumla, selalunya buatkan for free jer.... so, that time elle & enze were basically guiding us on how to go forward.... and last2 elle join in as the 3rd partner... to cover on all this promo side... and hasilnya... www.havenlycakes.com were born.... our portal to promote to the world that we have really delicious cakes to serve your sweet tooth...

well, its not an easy road... there are stumbling blocks along the way... ngan recipe tak jadi la... tak cukup lembut ... toppings yg cair sangat... we have our ups and downs la when we first started... and as we are doing this part-time basis mmg sometimes tu no time for ourselves and for the family.... but, the support from all our friends and family hv keep us going... and InsyaAllah one day our dream will materialise.... one step at a time...

Come and visit us at our website and try our cakes.... u'll definitely won't regret it... quoting from the email sent by my dear fren Anson...
