Hi guys,
Today I gonna introduce my career, about how I started to make cakes and how I started this bakery
I grew up in a big family while my parents doesn't really bake, and not even cook, how do I end up baking starts from the part time job in Niniq Bistro.
I started the job as a part time waitress in the restaurant. But my interest in cake grew day by day, suddenly one day the lady boss, Angela ask me if i would like to join as cake apprentice full time. I struggle sometime for that means I have to gave up my studies and concentrate on working. Will it be a big mistake... I wonder...But as Nike slogan say : "Just Do It!" XD
The most memorable thing from this job is making a fondant cake for one of the colleague birthday party. This is the first time ever in the bakery we had made a fondant cover cake (it was not so popular back then) , and it doesn't turn out very well i could say. :(
I started making cakes for friends just for fun and also earn some extra income, but soon I realizes that I really enjoyed doing for others that made them smile and feel extra special.
So I took up a diploma class in KL to brush up my knowledge about cakes & baking.
Then a friend ordered a cake. A. CAKE. A CUSTOM made cake!! Wow! Now that was a challenge. I hadn't really tried custom made cakes yet but I love a challenge. So I did it. And they love it !
1st custom cake that I made XD
I got so many requests for custom made cakes that I hardly received classic cake orders anymore. .
Over the next 6 years, I found myself baking lots of cakes, cupcakes for people I just met,family and friends. They will customizes it, make it to their one and only cake design. And I absolutely enjoyed making them.
And as I did more cakes and other baking for family, friends and co-workers, I got busier and busier, people introduce and introduce .
Having a full time job in the morning as sales and marketing and it seemed a bit of a stretch for me to venture into the baking world full time.
However, something told me that it was the thing to do, and in 2011, I met Amos, he encourage me so much and I decided to make my love of baking, decorating and designing custom cakes a legit business and
Agnes Patisserie was born.
Owning a retail bakery was always a dream I had, but I would often say I was not sure I could ever own a bakery, because “those people have to get up REALLY early in the morning” to make sure everything is fresh. As you can see, it did happen and I couldn't be happier to be doing what I love and living my dream (all while waking up more times before 5am than I ever imagined a person could do in their lifetime & working 20+hrs days.)
