When one of our colleagues gets a newborn we normally collect some money to buy them (and the baby) a gift.
And usually, at the end of the 1st month or the full moon celebration for the baby, the new parents normally show their appreciation by giving back “full moon packs”.
The standard old school pack consists of yellow Glutinous rice with curry, red dyed hard boiled eggs and different types of “ang-koo” kueh (which signify either it was a baby boy or girl…)
This is the 1st time I’ve received the cupcake version as I normally get the KFC or Pizza hut coupons.
It’s been a while…
Anyway, I must say, at 1st glance the packing and cupcakes look cool.
It does..!!
The deco were make from marzipan and sugar icing. Marzipan was messily patched onto the cupcake with chocolate ganache.
The base Cupcake was just a normal sponge cake.
Overall cupcake designs were cute but overall handiwork looked “rough” and rushed.
Tastewise, it was pretty plain and even slightly dry.
I’ve seen and tasted better.
I mean, it wasn’t “bad”, but It wasn’t “good” as well.
