Literally.
Long serrated knife in right; knife in cake;Knife through cake; knife through left! *BLOOD*
That was basically what disabled my entire left palm saturday morning. I had 3 little cakes and 60 cupcakes to deliver by 7.
Mini Cakes and cupcakes for the morning weekend traffic at our Delectable outlet were waiting to be covered and decorated. But how?!My handy pair of sugar crafting 'machines' were reduced to one. My first thought was "CRAP! I don't have a band-aid big enough!" Haha I eventually made do with 4 band-aids.
Lucky me; it was an incredibly sharp knife! The wound should heal within a day; it's pretty alright now, just the pulsing in my hand that annoys me every time I pick something heavy up. Making lime curd and liquids for my cakes is a real killer for me too!It's a good excuse to work on more paper work and writing; attend my weekend Salsa lessons for a change! Sleep maybe? Haha
I'm feeling a little helpless today; I've finally decided to slow it down a little. Allow the wound to close; working with a glove really is nasty when I'm in a hurry to complete my weekend projects.*sigh* I need to learn to work calm and collected.
I guess haste was what got me into this in the first place!
I can almost hear Chef James in my head going: "I told you so Su Yin!"
Any offers to volunteer their perfectly good left hands tonight? *grin*

I'm nowhere near as talented as you (maybe someday in my dreams LOL) but if I could I would jump on the next 12-14 hr flight and you could put me right to work =D

oh no! hope your hand gets better real soon.
I did the exact same thing on Thursday! Maybe a reminder for us both to try and slow down a little and concentrate. I'd love to help you if I wasnt thousands of miles away!!
You must be careful girl. Wish you a speedy recovery. Would be coming to Kl this Wednesday. Would very much like to visit your Beautiful cake boutique.
do take good care of yourself and be more careful if you could. just take in more vitamin c to heal the wound faster. and congrats on the opening of your store.
i hope u get better soon!!
oh dear! do take care and don't rush. hope the wound heals soon.
I have been reading your blog for about a week and I must say I like what I see. For a young girl who love to bake to open a beautiful shop, a lot of hard work has been put in. Congratuation and keep up with your passion !
I visit my inlaw in KL every couple of months, she is an Eurasion and a cake lover, especially sugi cake. I will definetely visit your shop on my next trip and hopefully to meet you in the shop.
don't rush things so much su yin, patience pays off. not one of ur best traits though... so patience and slow steady pace su yin.
Love - Jo
you should take it easy and let your finger rest for now. hope it gets better soon... i'd gladly offer you my left hand if its not so badly coordinated.
take care, su!
Get well soon! Take care while creating those edible art ok :)
Hmmm...just an idea to keep hands off your cakes in your shop...to either instal a glass door to the display shelves or just put up a small fence. And trust me, notice saying 'do not touch the cake' will only make it worse :)
suuuuu-yiiiiiiiiiin
guess what. I TOO CUT MYSELF on friday. with a paper cutter - @ almost the exact same spot. :( it was a very precise cut but was fairly deep. :( :( coincidence?
hope ur finger's alright now!
aww that sucks!:( hope it gets better soon! I went to a 4 year olds birthday today and she wanted to cut the cake....but as she was waiting for her mom to take a pic, she rubbed her hand on the blade from top to bottom, and cut her hand all the way! ouch!
Congrats again on the store :)
P.S. I LOVE your ribbon! Excellent marketing strategy! Where did you get them from? did you order online? link? ;) :)
oh dear! Hope your wound has healed by now. Unfortunately, in life, we all have to go through such events, big or small, but all in all, it makes you stronger :)
I've been reading your blog forever and I must say hat's off to you for being so brave to go 180from your college education. Your work is impeccable and congratulations! I will be sure to visit your store when I visit Malaysia during the kid's summer hols.

hope you're feeling better su! and thanks for the "how to make a Bear out of fondant" i got to make one! whew! not that easy though.. :D

I cut my middle finger on my left hand too! The only difference is between a chopper and a knife. Haha! Hope your wound has healed. =)
I know how it feels on having a cut on a finger, :( hope a speeding recovery!
