That’s not all. We have made our popular Red Velvet and Arabian Nights cupcakes to reflect the Ramadan season by putting a twist to the cupcake topping.

It’s the same light cocoa cake coupled with silky cream cheese frosting and green sanding sugar that simply melts in your mouth.

Another introduction is the Arabian Nights cupcake made of fragrant plump dates cake topped with toffee frosting. It is an ideal cupcake to “buka puasa” with and has a cake texture and mixture of flavours that is unlike any other cake. Plus, the Arabian Nights cupcake will be available everyday for this period (not just Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Saturday’s).

We are closing down our Pavilion outlet. There, I’ve said it. It has not been an easy reality to digest. Feels a little like loosing a limb as it has been such a major part in the Cupcake Chic story. But I feel I owe it to our fans, the truth behind this decision.

So, why are we closing down our Pavilion outlet?

In part, I was so busy rushing out our macarons that I overlooked the date to revert to the retail management of Pavilion regarding the renewal of the store. I was two days late and that was enough for them to give our lot to someone else. Having said that, they were also planning to hike up our rent by a BIG AMOUNT (won’t say how much) that we needed a miracle game plan to be able to cover those figures. We were not allowed to sell any of our drinks because of the illy brand we carry (exclusivity of illy coffee in Pavilion goes to illy espressemante) which means we couldn’t increase sales with our beverages.

Then they told us that we possibly couldn’t sell macarons either because our name “Cupcake Chic” should only stick with cupcakes. Here I am, trying to launch our macarons so we can strengthen our product line and I believe the Cupcake Chic brand would not be diluted as a result and there they are, restricting my every move. It was very frustrating indeed!

Having said that, the team at Pavilion management has not all been difficult. The marketing team is incredible – lending us support from Day 1 – notable mention goes to Ms. Nikola Hassan – love that she is almost as proud of our brand as we are. (thank you, Nikola – if you’re reading this)

So there you have it, the truth told. In part, my fault. In hindsight, possibly a blessing in disguise as it would save us some hair pulling efforts in trying to increase sales to meet that hike in rental without being able to add to our product line. Not that we wouldn’t have taken on the challenge, mind you.

We had a meeting with the fit out team last week to discuss the restoration works and it was indeed a nostalgic final visit to the outlet. Just two years old, it is sad to have to tear this outlet down.

BUT…we are hopeful & optimistic. We will find a new home for Cupcake Chic in KL. This brand will grow from strength to strength and we know it will make Malaysia proud as a homegrown brand. The dream is shining just as bright as ever and we will not be swayed by this small road hump along our journey. I hope you (our fan reading this, hopefully) will continue to cheer for us as we continue to press on.

Instead of posting up a photo of Pavilion I thought I would put up this photo of me, posing with the floor plans before the construction work began in the Curve and I embarked on this journey. Just a reminder to myself, that this is a new era.
