Su's here to turn cakes into art; sugar into sculpture and 'dessert' into a delightful word~!
Finally! a place to share my work beyond just photographs online.
We've been open just a little less than a week and the response has been awesome!
I'm just finding it hard to tolerate the quantities and daily need to be baking and decorating through my sleep provision. BAH! I need to find a solution for this little hang up of mine.
I can't be grateful enough for all the encouraging remarks from blog readers, friends and family; It's hard work; but definitely tolerable at this point! No doubt; I'm gritting my teeth and soldiering on!
Inevitably; I'll be expanding my team and moving forward with business plans; my quaint outlet here at The Gardens Mall; Midvalley is going to house and display snippets of Delectable's growth in months to come. It's not just going to be CAKE guys; there's more to Delectable than what meets the eye *wink* Hush hush secrets *grin*
It still feels a little surreal to me how I've finally parked myself comfortably into retail.
Well; not exactly as comfortably as I would have expected; but certainly thrilled about it none the less!
It doesn't help to be a little out of touch with my 'Malaysian-ness'; getting bullied and called 'kid' in some instances *laughs* I know it's difficult to take my child-like persona seriously at times; but I'm really not the type to sit back when others begin pushing my buttons!
*grrrr* Uninvited stress for sure. I've slowly learnt to deal with difficult situations and squirm away from crummy people who are being disturbingly unkind.
Putting my foot down is kinda fun! *giggle* I get things moving and I get them moving exactly where I want em~ :D
Anyhow; The shop is great, it's lots of fun and I've heard many nice things being said about our products and my cakes. If I were to describe my thoughts on the status of Delectable at this point; I could summarize it into a big hearty: YAyYY!

I wish you opened your store in Sydney instead lol! But no doubt I'll be heading to your store in a heartbeat the next time I'm in KL!
your shop is gorgeous! it's on my list of places to visit for sure. hope you get some rest in between it all - I can imagine the amount of running around you're probably doing!
WOW!! How impressive - I had to show my hubby how fantastic your shop looked and he was really impressed. He said that you really have an eye for detail - I want to buy your little towels - you'll have to put them for sale on your website (did I suggest more work for you? sorry - get some sleep instead and then think about it ha ha!!)
Good on You
The store is beautiful, Su Yin. Congrats on the highly successful launch. It's an incredibly competitive industry to be in. All the best and I look forward to seeing your shop in person the next time I go back to Malaysia!
Congratulations on the success! :) The shop looks really nice, I love how bright and cheerful it looks. Will definitely have to drop by if I get a chance to go to KL this summer.

It has been a great pleasure watching your journey from your kitchen in Sydney to your own shop now.
From pretty konyaku to amazing edible work of arts. Thank you for sharing your adventure. Cant wait to see what you are up to next.
I think I got so excited when I saw you updated that I stopped breathing for awhile >< I'm not a stalker! But I'm just so happy for you. I just really am sad that I have to wait 6 long weeks till I get to see it for myself. Times like this make me wish I lived in Malaysia XD

btw *congratulations*!!!
HI Su,
I have a number of questions on your new retail shop (which I had asked in the previous post before). Hope you can share with us the answers. Do get some sleep!
1) where did you draw your inspiration from for your shop concept?
2) Who did your interior design? who's the contractor?
3) Where did you source all the decorative items for your shop, such as the cake stands and the trays?
4) Who are the suppliers for all the Delectable accessories, such as the tea towels, ribbons, wrappers, etc? Are they from KL?
5) Given that your creative art is mainly handcrafts, which means a very hands-on business, how do you intend to grow the business? Do you have plans to employee more cake decorators apart from yourself?
Congrats Su. I've been reading your blog since donkeys year for recipes and idea. I wish you all the best. Your shop looks so beautiful and chic. Maybe one day when I'm back home in Malaysia, I will come back and visit your shop.
ps - found your blog when I was looking for Msian in Australia and have been your peminat eversince.
