Online bakeries galore!

The newspapers have reported on such businesses sprouting up in the local baking scene. There have been 2 articles on cupcakes which can be ordered via the Net. One was in the New Paper, giving coverage to a few of such websites while the other was in yesterday's Urban on a similar website.

This is not new to me, however. I've a friend who is selling mostly "chocolate delights". She has been known in our church as someone who can really really cook. Her brownies, fudge cakes and cookies are definitely worth gaining the kilos for! She sells seasonal delicacies too, like mooncakes, log cakes and pineapple tarts. Do visit her website at slizes.blogspot.com!

The articles just whetted my greed for more of such tasties. I went to visit the websites featured and I feel the best one, from a subjective point of view, is cupcake-momma.net! There are simple and elaborate designs on the cupcakes. Custom-made ones are also available, in accordance to the occasion. The standard price of each one is approximately $2, which seems reasonable, though the price may change pertaining to the design.

The one featured in Urban seems a little too expensive, with each cupcake costing $5 on the average.

The one thing I can conclude about these websites though, is that the photos do contribute to the attractiveness of the cakes. The colourful frostings and designs are so very enticing. Mmm mmm!

On the other hand, for traditionalists, there is a counter at Junction 8 on level 3, which sells mostly chocolates and cookies. Chocolat World also sells lollipops. It's worth buying from. The double chocolate cookies sell at $11.80 for 24 pieces, and the surprising thing about them is that they are not too sweet. Do try a packet!
