Well it is official. I will be pouring the majority of my energy into our cupcake endeavor. We have named our business "Om Nom Cupcakes" and we will be making it possible for anyone in the city to order our cakes and either arrange pickup or find a way to deliver it to them. We are even most likely investing in a larger toaster oven for our place! I am super pumped and hopeful that we will be at least somewhat successful :) We have no other competition that we know of in the city because cupcakes are not too big in Korea from what I can tell. It took some arm pulling to get any Koreans to even try the cupcakes. When they do try them they usually say, "it is very delicious but too sweetey." The problem, I found is that they are expecting muffins. When we started selling cakes to a local cafe they asked us why the bread was so soft. After some prying we realized they did not understand it is cake, not muffin. In the end it has worked out because the cafe has been ordering them more and more often.
Hopefully this is a sign of things to come because I love baking and my husband loves coming up with ideas. With the holidays coming up we have endless experimenting and taste testing to do. If you are interested in trying any of the recipes we have done you can visit my baking blog here.
Will you selling them through the Underground?
ReplyDeletethat is the plan at some point. Michael has been under the weather so a lot of things are going to happen a little later than expected. So we just have to pray for a speedy recovery!
