We stumbled upon this lil bakery a week ago. We thought we’d go for dinner and pop back in to see what flavours were on sale. We went back to empty shelves. So when we visited and spied cupcakes, we grabbed them.

Yummy.

A very new outfit, they are probably trying to get their numbers right. They have been known to sell out by 7 or even 6, when their closing is actually 9pm. The cupcakes are moist and flavorful. Not to mention, a pretty sight.

The shop is by Daniel and Jaime Ong, with Jaime being the baker of them goodies. Not that it should mean much. After all the proof is in the taste test no? (They pass!)

For more information, reviews and updates, drop by their facebook page or tweet them.

There never seems to be enough time to do everything and things get piled up. I was going through my photostream when I caught sight of the photos from Cookyn Inc’s launch. So heck, better late than never… here’s Cookyn Inc!

The lovely husband and wife team of Merv and Amanda have come so far since they first hosted cookyn lessons from their humble home kitchen. Right now, they are operating out of an amazing place at Garden Hub (an up and coming cluster somewhat styled after Dempsey). Hosting team bonding sessions, special cooking classes and an assortment of activities inbetween, the place is truly great.

Here are some snaps from the launch party held on 1 May (*gasp*, yes, tardy I know!). They give a small overview of the beautiful place they have and hopefully, help whet your appetite somewhat! Do check them out, especially the parties they conduct. I love that they have Family Sundays! A great way to bond… over food.

Get Cookyn!

(ok, so there aren’t that many shots of the place as I thought I had. But take my word, it’s a lovely place to be!)

Of homemade (cup)cakes and the like. Somehow when you become mum, you become more aware of the amazingly detailed cakes that indie bakers are dishing out of their home kitchens. Each party seems to bring with it an even more amazing array of edible goodies. Some, almost too beautiful to eat. But eat you must for it will be a sheer waste of effort. (In my opinion at least!) But of course, not without taking a million photos of said spread.

And it is not just in the US. though they have some amazingly beautiful ones. Locally, here are a few I’ve found to be gorgeous in looks. I can’t say much about the taste as I have only tried Mong‘s (yummy of course!) and licking computer screen doesn’t get me quite near enough to the real thing.
