..when your dreams are filled with penguins too! *laughs*
Em and I confessed to each other about our penguin nightmares after a full 2 weeks of doing nothing but penguin 'things'. This year's Christmas was all about penguins.. and it was a whole lot of fun!! they are too cute! I might do polar bears next year... or maybe seals? or Santa's? I don't know yet; too early to start planning.
I can't thank everyone enough for placing orders and supporting my sprouting business with cakes. I've put much effort into this first spontaneous project that we thought we'd just try out. I wasn't ready to take the leap into such risks; costs of production, hours, transport, packaging..all that was too overwhelming to organize within just a week or two, but I looked too Em and asked if she would catch me if need be; and she promised to have my back. Too awesome.
We still laugh at the thought of calling ourselves the 'cake elves' haha... Never thought of myself in a silly red jumpsuit and pointy shoes which curl up!
Apart from "love, joy and peace" penguins; I went out of my way to redesign a few extra special ones by request for several very important individuals. They were TOO cute! I had to post them up; so so adorable... thanks Celine for the opportunity to do more with my penguins. Hehe It was a fun change to the 3 designs I was getting so used to!
Well the penguins have now been given homes..and I've moved on to different projects since.
It's a relief, but I must admit.. i do miss the little guys. My work room looks much less Christmas-y now without them.**thank you family cake elves for the long hours of box making :) truly appreciate the kind effort.
I've been brainstorming for a cool concept for Chinese new year! Really excited to reveal it very soon. I wish I had more time. ahhh!!! Chinese new year in less than a month!!
Things are still a little crazy at the moment for me... my schedule on the wall is taking up almost every 'post'able spot. Kinda overwhelming; but I can't complain. I absolutely love my job! and it's even more satisfying when others love what I do too!
Too lucky! I pinch myself every morning.
I know I havn't made time to seriously take a break and write fun things on my blog; but it's been getting more and more tough and I need some time to reorganize and gather my hours together. hehe I'm a newbie to this type of holiday stress!
This weekend has been really exciting!
I can't wait to post pictures! Su was invited to do cupcake demos for Ben10 at a kids event hosted by Cartoon Network. I'll be at it again tomorrow morning and noon giving away Ben10 goodies..at our National Science Center in Mount Kiara. Will speak about the 'School Holiday Camp' by Astro very soon. Need to get some photos first! haha. **EVENT was held on Sat and Sun from 10 am to 4pm*
You know a secret? I'm afraid of kids. Especially when there are a lot of them. *shame* Haha I get nervous in front of little people; but less with adults. Weirdness. *hmm*
