I'm Sticking With You ('cause I'm made outta glue)

Happy Sunday everyone!

Surreal as it may be, Bite Me Cupcakes has been operating within the business realms of cyberspace for 1 year now (and counting)!

Nothing has changed much since I first nervously handled (my mom's) electric mixer whilst getting acquainted with her very ancient weighing scale. 365 days on and one full time job later, I find myself still doing it for the love.

I must admit; I've absolutely no business acumen or organizational skills when I launched gung-ho style into this 'business'.
I armed myself with a silly vision and some upstart capital from cupcake sales I made from close friends (thanks Sharon & Mei!). Heaps of scrap papers, doodles and sleepless nights later, Bite Me was born.

The rest as I would say, is a tiny bite in history. The important thing to me at least is that I'm still here and still churning out the cupcakes and it STILL makes me tingle with excitement everytime I pick up the spatula. Well, I guess it isn't so hard when one has got love in the mix. Anyway, I've babbled long enough.

Please feast your eyes on:-


Yes, Peena Colada lovers! I'm always improvising on my designs, and this time I've added colorful cherries as garnish. I should've done it earlier (because we all know that cherries and cocktails just click, duh!)

These goodies were a Bite Me goodwill donation effort towards the Malaysian SLE Association's Deepa-Raya luncheon. Held with the board members and some patients, butterflies are the official symbol. Hence naturally the design was such as well.

I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did preparing them!

At the same time, I received an order from a very sweet someone in Sentul who wanted to show some love to her friend, a "music loving piano teacher". Excited as hell, I jumped at the opportunity, having not done this theme before.


Alas, here is physical evidence for my mom proving that all those years (with me protestin, mostly) of piano classes have not been put to complete waste!

At the very least, I still remember how to illustrate bass and treble clefs. Ooo, and music notes!! This is the Sweet One who purchased said cupcakes, Ms. Feeling Hong!

Is it just me or is everyone who has the love for cupcakes sweet and nice as hell?! Seriously, I've come across some very very very very sweeeeet and interesting ladies from doing what i do. And I can't thank all of you enough for trying out Bite Me despite it being your first time ever and so on.

Why am I talking so much today? Must be because I'm touched. Feeling seriously thankful and blessed.

Thank you for taking the Bite, and most of all, thank you for making all this possible.


Much xoxo,
Zher the Peenut.
