First, she e-mailed me enquiring about my cuppies. After a long silence, I received another e-mail from her and this time telling me that she liked the " Teddy in the Garden" ( the pink teddy )
She's still in her maternity leave, her second child, Alvin, barely a month old baby and she'd like the cuppies to celebrate Alvin's one month with the family. After a few e-mails,and calls, she decided on the chocolate cupcakes with Teddy in the garden theme, when asked whether i had made any for "Baby shower', told her so far I still had not had the opportunity to do them but I wished I could have . She then asked me where could she look for baby shower design and so Irecommended a few blogs in my cake artists list.
However, she finally decided to stick with her first choice of my "Teddy in the Garden". how sweet is that?A few days , in fact two days before the due date, she called saying that she's coming over. i was confused, have I got the date wrong cos I haven't actually started making the cupcakes yet! No, she was in the neighbourhood and thought of dropping by , unfortunately I was in Penang (on the way back ) when she called
She called again the following day and asked me if I had made the cupcakes and I said, no I haven't because I prefer to make it as closest as possible to the pick up date to ensure the freshness of the cupcakes and deco. What time can we collect the cupcakes?
What time would be good for her?
Is 9 am okay?
9 am it is....
Before she hung up, she asked me this:
What colour will the teddy be?
Blue, I said, for a boy
Good.....good..... I heard an approving reply on the other end of the line
As anxious as she was about her cupcakes, I was even more anxious not knowing whether she is going to like it or otherwise.

her hubby, her father ( I think ) and her daughter came to collect the cuppies.it's her last day of confinement. So far, so good, I saw happy and satisfied looks on both the father and the hubby's faces.
He then ( the hubby ) asked me
Are these (the teddy, etc )made from marzipan?
Whoa! somebody knows something here, is he a Chef?, a cook? pastry Chef? he's a Chef in a hotel in a neighbouring country, but not a Pastry Chef.
Wow! A Chef! I have always admired people who can cook.Me? Still struggling to cook meals for my family, can't even make a good rendang ayam yet......
Before they left, the husband, who's holding their daughter in his arms, said something nice, "my wife looked at many blogs and she find yours beautiful".............everybody says ...aaaaahhh, how sweet is that. Everybody likes to be complimented, don't they.
Thank you Chooi2., for trusting me with your Alvin's onemonth cupcakes.May life always be sweet and as colourful as the teddy in the garden is for you and your family.
