aunty ivy,
sent the cookies around and they just disappeared. CEO complained today he didn't get any; he generously took it to a meeting, stepped out to get his notes and when he got back it was all gone.
thanks for a great job. let me know if it translates into orders.

Dear, dear, dear Ivy,

The birthday cake was a hit not only with the birthday boy but with the rest of us too. All commented that it was not too sweet, good texture and great tasting. By this you can gather that these comments were from adults.

As for the cupcakes, what can I say? After picking them up from you, my cousin took them home to put in his fridge; safe from prying eyes & fingers. When he brought them over the next day… eyes, noses (& whatever else that could) followed the boxes into the house. Big excitement when boxes were opened. What we did was to arrange the cupcakes on a tray and stick candles into 6 of them. One would have thought that the girls would rush for the pink frosted one but nooo… they all had to go for the blue frosted ones with silver decoration. Luckily there were enough to go round. Carol came over later and she went home with a few. I caught my niece licking off the frosting as if it were ice cream (she started on the cake proper only after she had polished off the frosting). Needless to say, all wanted seconds.

Judging by feedback from Sharinee & Shyamala, my family and I are not the only ones who enjoyed your baking skills.

As I said before, don’t stop baking!!!

Hi Ivy,

Enjoyed the cupcakes... the kids were thrilled to bits over the 'designer cakes'... had to avert a small war as everyone wanted the same designs!! My cousin and wife were pleased and I have given your h/p # to them.

Hoping this leads to more customers.

Dear Ivy,

Thanks so much for your yummy cupcakes. They were soft, fluffy and really did melt in my mouth. My kids were thrilled with them. They were beautifully decorated, too.

My first blog




Almost like first day at school! What do I do, how do I start? I'm trying to make an online menu list for my client's easy reference/a diary of my projects.

I have to especially thank the following people. Baldish for 'starting the ball rolling', Sue for suggesting cupcakes and Hazel for the name of my blog! To a certain 'cowboy' for the encouragement and the others, for your love, support and orders. Keep them coming!

What you see is just a preview of more to come....
