I just realised that it's nearly the end of July already and I've not even updated 2nd Q orders for Meg's Pastry Studio! Oops!
No,
I'm not closed down, yet. Just that I've slowed down in terms of order
takings as there were many events, collaborations (and family
commitments) past few months and I've been busy with those. I would
prefer not to over-tax myself by taking on too many assignments because
after all, I bake as a hobby and not as a living.
So
pardon me if I couldn't take up orders (especially last minute) because
I don't want to stress myself up with too many things on the plate.
Some days, I literally spent the whole day in the kitchen, prepping,
baking/cooking, photography, washing and clearing up (and I don't have a
helper, so gotta do everything myself).
I digress.
So here's looking at the few orders I took up.
A
watermelon cake that I baked for my University/Hall senior, for her
grandmother's birthday celebration. This is an absolutely light and
refreshing cake, using my favourite genoise sponge which is super soft
and not too sweet, with watermelon and almond crumble filling and
no-sugar chantilly cream frosting, finally topped with watermelon,
rockmelon, pistachio, mint leaves and rose petals.
My teddy bear cookies have become very popular recently, I guess it's because they look so adorable and make great party flavour or gift.
I rarely bake chocolate cake for my family as we are not big eaters of chocolate pastries. One of my very supportive customer ordered a chocolate cake for her daughter's birthday, so I jumped at the opportunity to create this naked chocolate cake. Love how it turned out, doesn't it look visually appealing?
Hopefully I would have time to squeeze in some cake orders soon because second half of the year is expected to be busier than the first :p
