My First cupcake show!!

Hubby and friends helping at the fest.

Selangor Food Fest 2009 - at the SACC mall Shah Alam held in conjunction with the Sultan of Selangor's birthday. It was a day of pretty cupcakes (from other fellow cupcake bakers as well)fabulous flavours and smell as well as nerve-wrecking cupcake demonstration!!.
I was lucky (and NERVOUS!!) to be given the oppurtunity not only to showcase my cupcakes for the very first time..but also to demonstrate cupcake decorating.
I made about 280 mini cupcakes for the show ie the two 'must have,must buy' cupcakes ie vanilla and chocolate..it's not just any moist chocolate cake but it's my signature 'Double Trouble' choc cupcake!!(all sold out by the end of the day!)

It was a great experience..

Birthday Cupcakes- Vanilla cake with buttercream & 'Double Trouble' choc cake with Belgian choc topping

Tales of Cupcake Boutique

Ashnita of Cupcake Boutique started producing one-of-a-kind designed cupcakes in small production batches at the end of 2006.
Being a fashion designer herself, she was inspired by her textile design and colours in designing her cupcakes. Her cupcakes are an extension of her fashion creation and interest.. which is designing. Ashinta being a fanatic of cupcakes from an early age had been searching for that true cupcake.. a cupcake that not only looks pretty but has a strong fundamental basis.. that is a rich in taste but light and moist in texture. During her trip overseas, such cupcakes do exist but more often then not it is not halal. Finding that just right cupcake which is halal became a frustration. What started as a hobby then, begins to transform into a passion. It all started when Ashnita was doing a textile design for a fashion project at her design school in London. Her design project based on cakes introduced her to the realm of cupcakes. She observed that most cupcakes focused on the design of the topping and icing. Many at times ignoring the basics of a good cupcake.. which is the cake itself.
After many research and experiment with the basic cake, the unique batter was created and is still used as the foundation of all her cupcakes. Her unending quest is to find that balance in taste and texture of her cupcakes. The cupcake must be moist, tasty, rich, light and not too sweet with the topping/icing complementing the overall taste, not overpowering the basic cake...
Ashnita loves experimenting with cupcakes as she is able to create many types of designs within a collection.. various colours and flavours.
Boutique, originated from the French word “shop” is associated with one that specializes in elite and fashionable items, like clothings and jewellery. Bringing her passion in fashion designing and batik printing into her cupcake creation, these bejeweled of a cake is now available at her Cupcake Boutique.
