They brought back the "CHA"


If you live in KL and you've not seen or heard or tasted Chatime; it's time to get out from under that rock you live in. Haha.The biggest trend since cupcakes about 6 years ago, Chatime has now made what we remember of bubbletea cooler, healthier and definitely 100x more delicious! .. *makes endorser face* LOL
Okay; what's the deal? Su doesn't promote restaurants, bakerys or review food... so what's going on here? Haha welllll...truth is; no, chatime didn't bribe me with anything to love them, chatime didn't pay me to write about how great their selection of drinks are, they didn't sponsor me to publicly state on my blog that they are the best tea's in town and I'm addicted to them... but they serve AWESOME stuff! and they have become my friends :)
I started off as a customer back in Sydney and my loyalty to chatime's freshly brewed teas and yummy fillings followed me home to Malaysia.
Oh I'm so happy they have Chatime in KL now!
There are Chatime outlets in Penang, Sunway pyramid, Pavilion, Timesquare, SS15, SS2 and their latest one in The Garden's Mall! YAY!! that's Delectable's home and where I work~ teehee*
They were very impressed with the fancy cake work I do; and decided to have a triple tier centerpiece cake from us during their launch at the Gardens midvalley outlet recently.A little secret about my love for Chatime also involves someone really special within the company. Su has a new boyfriend now.. but he's too shy to show. There's barely a hint of him at the back of this picture; but that's about all he's going to let me publish for now. heheBeing and falling in love does funny things to me and they are reflected so positively on my cakes and ideas. It was about time someone gave me a hand with mending my broken bits and pieces :)

Sailing away to new adventures~

... well; the title is just a fancy way of me saying I want to go on holiday to a different land! hehe
Despite my packed cakeful weekends full of weddings and events, I always make time to go away for a little to be refreshed and re-inspired. It is so easy at times to be buried in consistent mountains of pressure to perform and forgetting that sometimes the best way to come about a solution to a creative problem is to step back. Having breathers keep be passionate about my job; and I always return to it with brighter enthusiasm and a collection of new ideas from abroad.

I've been collecting photos and memories from lots of different places in the past couple of years. I might have a travel section written on my blog some day.. When I'm ready to write about my adventures of the WorlD~ haaahaha most of the photographs you'd see would be of Food though... food, desserts, beaches ... plants and more food... haha I can't seem to run far from my passion for photographing all things delicious.
I was incredibly excited to make wedding cake delivery to a coastal town 2 hours away from KL city last weekend! It was going to be beach themed wedding in pretty pinks and purples. Half the excitement was from the fact that I was going to have to drive to the BEACH! YAY!!!
Any excuse to have my toes in sand is very much welcomed. I miss how close I used to be to the ocean in Sydney.

Can it ever be... "TOO Pink?"

Everyone has got a personal favourite. Blue hues, shades of green.. bright yellow and orange tones, a classic black and white? ... but nothing beats Pinks. All the ladies, young and old... (well maybe not all) but certainly; a big majority of them Love the colour in all different shades!
When I've got a variety of cookies, tins, or candies all laid out in multicolour icing, ribbons and packaging, the pink ones never fail to sell out the quickest! Haha..when i tie them in pink bows, they fly off the shelves in lightning speed.I don't exactly "dislike" the colour, I love the reddish pinks and deep fuchsia bold pinks. I make lots of cakes in Pink. Sometimes i step back from my work bench and think to myself..
"Woah... thats wayyy too pink..."


Hahaha it reminds me of princess dresses, cherry blossoms, grapefruit, cartoon elephants and ballerina tutus .. em.. ..LOL my mind is full of random thoughts!
What's your favourite colour?
