Gold Bar anyone?
When i was a little free the other day, i baked myself an orange and lemon cake.
My first reaction after i unmould them was 'woww.. it looks like a gold bar!' and it really does i tell you.
This is really my kind of cake.
I will never ever get bored with it at all. I can even eat the whole loaf! It's my absolutely favourite.. butter cakes. What's more, orange and tangy lemon flavour...
Simply heaven.
When i had my first bite right after it came out from the oven, i really thought i could fly. It was very very good.
Indescribable is the word.
And then i thought 'why not make this my Chinese New Year bake project?'.
I'll call it Gold Bar!
Pretty auspicious for the festive season give-aways don't you think so?
So i talked to a 1-2 close confidantes and they were like, good idea! But the problem is where do i start? How to find customers?
Advertising in the forum is a no no because forums don't allow it.
My blog isn't a food blog. It's a personal junk blog actually. Lol. Hence, i never wanna advertise it at all. In fact, i don't even leave any link to my blog in the comments i have made in floogers, gfs, anons' blogs.
BUT.
That doesn't mean i don't welcome you the readers hor. In fact, i am already feeling slightly weird and abit conscious knowing there are as many as 100 readers [okay, i don't really keep track but it's roughly there :P ] per day reading my blog but hardly any comments!
In case you do not know, i enjoy reading comments quite a lot. Grin. They keep me going :P
Anyway, back to my CNY sale.
So, what do you think?
Should i go ahead?
Will you buy?
I actually baked 2 loaves very recently as a present to sil. I tied them with bright red ribbons and they looked pretty awesome. The peeps went 'whoa'. Grin. Too bad i didn't manage to take any photos as i was rushing out for the salon opening ceremony, an unofficial one.
The feedback i got was very encouraging hence, me wondering about it.
So yeah, will you buy for your own consumption? Will you buy to give away to family and relatives?
And if i do sell, i would be selling for $16.80 - auspicious number! :P
It's a 9" x 4" loaf cake by the way, made with top ingredients eg ; lurpark/president butter, huge fresh eggs from Lim Chu Kang (definitely pricier than NTUC's) and most importantly, made with lots of love too. Heeeeeeeeehehhe :D
Will appreciate all comments. Do leave one please!
Ari-gato!
p.s : sil's new salon is located near Katong Mall, just a few shops away. If you like to try out new good stylist, do give them a try! ;)
