I have to admit, I was never a fan of cupcakes before. Instead, I hated cupcakes. I despise the texture of the cake base, the butter cream toppings and the fact that it was always too fancy yet it had to always, always taste gruesome.

| The 90s Cupcake: "What did I do, nutt?" :/ |
I know that I am being overly-dramatic over these kind of things, but cakes are for eating, and I do not agree that just because the cake is so pretty it couldn't taste nice. That'd be like a pretty face without a heart or a character! That'd be something like a bimbo cake! -.- (Really, I hated cupcakes with buttercream toppings... everytime someone wants to put buttercream on a cupcake I'd have the urge to say to the person doing that to not do that.. but I never really prevented them from doing so, and I'd ended up eating only the cherry on top... I don't know why.. o.0).

| nuTt: ERRR... cupcakes? I'll pass... |
I blame the uncreative 90s for this (lol) simply because the cupcakes I had then were always so dry and almost tasteless, and the colorful toppings were always too buttery and mehhh.. (yes, mehhh!). And then there'd be chocolate rice sprinkles that I never liked. Oh how I hated cupcakes, then... until...

| Urban Roots 2011, at Green Heights Mall We promoted em for TEC! :D Just a few months before my wedding in 2011, I have consulted the daughter of one of my mom's close friends, Lyanna, who had been making and experimenting on cupcakes. I was in desperate need to find a baker to bake for my wedding (though in the end I did not have any fanciful cake for my wedding receptions, yes I had two receptions and no fancy cakes!), so she prepared some samples for me and then, just when I took a bite of her famous "Nano Rocher" I felt like I just bit a piece of haven food! Right after, I tried her red velvet cake, which was equally as marvelous as the Nano Rocher... I sat in the living room that night, obsessing with her cupcakes and went all crazy about it, telling my husband-to-be then how awesome her cakes were.. Too bad we didn't have em for the wedding. I truly regretted! :/ |

| She's truly an artiste! |
Anyways, Lyanna's cupcake business had been so popular in Kuching these days~ Under the label of "The Enchantress's Cauldron" (I don't get how some people could never pronounce it the right way -.- *annoyed*, but we'll call it TEC from now onwards), her cupcake flavours varies from the red velvet and nano rocher to carrot, bananas, milo, cookies 'n cream cupcakes, etc.. o my goodness.. now she even makes macarons that I have yet to try, but I know would taste just as great as the rest~ Furthermore, she takes cupcakes and cake orders for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and just about anything really, and best of all she's always so flexible with the orders' designs that I am constantly obsessed with her creations. REALLY!

| The old RM1-badged Nano Rocher! ~ |
Just last week I ordered her Nano Rochers, which are my hubby's favourite, topped with the usual yummy chocolate topping and edible badge of the old RM1 coin print. I can talk more and more about my obsession with her cakes. But if you want to find out more on TEC's cupcakes, please do visit their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/theenchantresscauldron. Maybe you'd fancy to try any of TEC's delectable selections :D
So then thanks to Lyanna's/TEC's cupcakes, the windows of my heart was open for all the other cupcakes I had tried by the Appetit, Bijou, Cupcake Chic, even hotel cupcakes which are all delicious as well. If it was not for her cupcakes, I do not think I'd know the joy of eating cupcakes. HEHE.
