You don’t need to be so defensive. it’s a free world and everyone is entitled to commment on the level of service they are receiving or their taste preference.

Secondly, are you not guilty of doing the same thing as what you are sayig the rest of the people who post are? You are commenting that other cupcake sellers only do design and not taste. You feel that you do taste well? There are so many cupcake sellers and some actually do taste and design well. Yes, they may not be selling at $1 or $1.50 per cup but there will always be people who are willing to pay more. I am happy paying for $3.50 for upcake from Lydia of Sweet decadence because she uses Valrhona chocolate in her cupcake and I love that taste. Her cupake is also 7.7cm in size instead of your 5.5. The pattisier also does nice looking and great tasting cakes thogh her prices are expensive. there will always be people who are willing to spends for better quality. Not everyone is wanting ” cheap” cupcakes/cakes. Some of us do like a certain quality in life.

True that locals are not used to icing and will always complain that it is too sweet. Those who are ignorant will always be ignorant cause icing is made from icing sugar.. of course it is sweet. if you don’t want sweet, then don’t get cupcakes with heaps of icing swirls. it is about education.

I think Lynn was trying to say that she finds the texture of your cake to be like Kueh instead of a regular cake. i do have to agree since I have also bought your cupcake as well. Your icing is tasty but the base is not cake-like texture at all. Then again, this is our perference and everyone will have their own camps of supporters.

Like everyone else in the world, we share what we like and don’t like with our friends. Now we can blog about it. If a straits times critic went to do a weite up of your cakes and revewed it like 8 days, are you also goig to write to them to explain like you did for us? do you think they care to print your reply? It’s a free world. We can say what we like and don’t like. You will continue to have your supporters who do like. That is how the world is and how it will continue to be.

we should choose to take this as constructive feedback rather than be defensive. There is nothing you can do to change people’s mind but you can change how you take it and perhaps even take this as a way to be training your staff in future or improving your cakes to reach a higher level.

Sorry to offend if I did in any way. My humble comments as well.

I actually bought these cupcake at suntec last night as foodfest thinggie. SOOOOOooo disappointed. the cake base does not even taste like cake at all!! It tasted like Kuah with no taste! The only thing with taste is the icing /cream. The cream taste is so overpowering that I don’t taste anything else if I bite into cake and icing together. Lucky I tried the cake base first.. that’s why I know I am not even gettig cake! Perhaps this is her way of making it not sweet but texture is really not cake-like. no flavour of chocolate also. Any case, found the cream too overpowering. Perhaps my time in US allow me to see that cupcakes should have tasty cake base with its own flavou and the cream should copliment the flavour and taste together.

My 2 cents worht and don’t intend to insult. =P

Anyways, to share.. I really like CCP cupcakes but they are sooo expensive. I tried another baker which make really nice choclate cupcake with icing and her price is not too bad unless you choose designs with lots of icing flowers from her wedding collection but they are soo pretty.. she can be reached at sdecadence@hotmail.com.
