Monsters & pumpkins & ghosts, oh my! — our Halloween orders, 2011

Drew these freehand. Ada gemuk ada kurus.

If we had more time, we would've added fangs. Next time then!

More things to come - a personal note from Z

It is already October 2011 and the quote on my Power Within desk calendar aptly says "Focus your strength and energy into what you do best and approach every challenge with determination". Exactly my thoughts especially in the past few months when I  start to look back at what The Cookie Cat has accomplished for the past two years.


The Cookie Cat's major business is still from orders that we received for custom cookies, cakes, cupcakes, and brownies for celebration of birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and for corporate gifts and baskets. Some of you would have noticed that I would be busy baking at the shop till late at nights (even on days when the shop is empty!). 


I would therefore like to focus on custom orders and deliver The Cookie Cat's goodies out to clients. I would also be exploring in putting out our goodies at certain places. To strengthen the focus and for more flexibility especially in terms of time, I have decided to operate the baking activities out of The Cookie Cat's home instead of the shop in Subang Jaya. Part of our home is being converted into a working cum baking studio. So The Cookie Cat will be moving out of Casa Tiara before end of this year.


That's the update that I would like to share for now - Z

The Cookie Cat Day Out!

The Cookie Cat will be attending 'A Day Out With MAKNA Kids: Bring Cheers & Share The Pain' at The Wet World in Shah Alam tomorrow! (That's Saturday the 1st of October).

The event is organized by our dear friend Dr Azma and team under Together We Can Make a Difference. So don't come find me at the shop. Instead you can join me at The Wet World or call TheCookieCat at 019.35.36.35.0! Anyone can come. The program starts at 8 in the morning.

For the event, I baked sunshine cookies for the kids. These are sugar cut-out cookies and I drew the happy sunshine on the cookies using royal icing - Z

After drawing the happy faces, I left the cookies out for the royal icing to dry. I just can't help but smile looking at these cookies :)

The cookies are then sealed in plastics and decorated with doilies and ribbons.

All the sunshine cookies go into a basket, ready to bring some cheer to the kids :)

Come join us tomorrow! 

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

We had been super duper busy completing all orders for Hari Raya that we forgot about an update in our blog. It is not too late to wish all our Muslim friends and customers a Selamat Hari Raya. We hope that everyone had a happy and joyous celebrations with their loved ones. 

The shop was closed for two weeks but we started taking orders again during the second week. This 3 kg orange was delivered for a department staff celebration of Hari Raya.

Just to share an update

Time flies when you enjoy doing what you do. It's been almost two years since I started The Cookie Cat; and the support that we received from all of you was tremendous!! The Cookie Cat family can't ever thank all of you enough :)

During this period, I have been able to assess our strengths and weaknesses and explore the opportunities and potentials. I have some plans in terms of our operations going forward where I would like to focus on baking and supply of our goodies. This is what we enjoy and what we do best and this is where we want to improve and grow.

Next month is already the holy month of Ramadhan. Muslims will be fasting during the period before celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri at the end of the month. The Cookie Cat shop operated till 9 pm last year during Ramadhan. However for this year, operating hours at the shop will be from 12 noon till 5 pm. I will be baking more from The Cookie Cat home in Sri Hartamas. For those of you in KL, you can arrange for pick up of your goodies from Sri Hartamas too!

So, that's the end of my update for now :)

Painting the town Red Velvet!

Our red velvet cakes and cupcakes have been  painting the town red (of course!!). They're moist and yummy; and we frost them with cream cheese icing.

Just to share our recent bakes for celebrations of birthdays, wedding anniversaries, reunions, or for no reason at all...just for one to indulge :)

Spongebob party for a princess... or a belated Mother's Day write up

I've known the mother for a while, a lovely petite lady whom some thought to be only in her teens :)  I'm not sure how many miscarriages that she had gone through in trying to conceive a child. But after several attempts, a beautiful baby girl was born. She was aptly named Shya Putri (where "Putri" means Princess). After all the mother had gone through, lovely Putri is a miracle baby...and I feel so proud to do this birthday cake in celebration of her first birthday recently :) - Z

This is a 2 kg chocolate cake with chocolate icing and decorated with edible images of Spongebob and friends. From the photos that mommy subsequently put up for us to see, the whole party was themed in yellow and brown Spongebob decorations :)

Mommy was worried that the cake would not be enough for the guests. So she requested for some mini cupcakes as well. These are lemon mini cupcakes in Spongebob yellow and brown (chocolate icing) theme colours of course.
