UPDATES

Assalamualaikum & Hello everyone!

It has been a hectic few months for me, so forgive me for not updating much on this blog. Truth is, it's easier to make updates via Facebook and a lot of customers reach me through FB too. The picture albums there are more organized, so head over there for much easier viewing of my previous work, OK.


Now, I've never mentioned it here, but I can also provide special dietary cakes and cupcakes. So if you're in Penang and looking for something vegan (eggless & dairy-free) or gluten-free (no flour) or sugarless/sugar-free, do shoot me an email and we'll talk.

Deliveries to Penang Island and surrounding areas is still available, but due to rising costs, I'll have to increase the delivery charge. You would understand, right? The fuel, time, energy, not to mention, vehicle maintenance, and the worst of all, traffic jams - they can just zap you dry :)

Hugs & kisses to all my loyal customers. Love you guys lots!

BASKIN KOSKAM

Whenever I have extra cupcakes, like these chocolate chip ones...


... this is the place they go to...


As displayed on the sign, this ice cream place sells ice-cream, ice-blended drinks, toast, snacks and nasi lemak. My hubby comes here for their Hang Tuah coffee and I come here almost every other day for the scrumptious hot nasi lemak either for lunch or dinner, or any meals in between. Nasi lemak & cupcakes almost everyday? Dangerous combination!


This cozy cafe also caters ice-cream for functions and parties. Hmmm, can you see a collaboration between cupcakes and ice-cream coming up? You bet :) Stay tuned


p/s: About the weird title post, it has something to do with my discussion with hubby the other day. I asked him whether this ice-cream joint has a name, and we wondered whether Ice Cream Corner is the official name. We didn't see any other signboards of the name and we didn't ask the owners of the shop too, a lovely lady and her husband who lectures in a university nearby. We fooled around with a few catchy names for it (just for fun) and thought that a perfect name for the shop would be 'Baskin-Koskam', since the name of the shop's location is Taman Koskam :D

THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME

Just a short one.

When searching for a business name for this cupcakery, most of the names I came up with fell short of being too cliche, and of course, as important as 'location, location, location' in the conventional business, we need a business name that's easy to remember and sticks to the mind.

My business savvy hubby came to the rescue and suggested 'liplickin' inspired by Nunu's tongue action, just at the mere mention of the word 'cupcake'.

So credit goes to them.



This is not liplickin', I think, more like stick your tongue out sideways coz Momma tells you to.

ABOUT LIPLICKIN'!

Salam and hello there dear visitors, welcome to my cupcakery blog. I’ve just jumped into the cupcake business driven by just pure joy of baking treats for other people, so it’s a natural thing to make it more accessible more people! I’m still learning, but I'll make sure that my customers will be getting more of the flavour than just a pretty cupcake.

Liplickin'! is a home-based online cupcakery run by Raggedyanne, who is *gasp* not a certified pastry chef! Just an amateur baker who has a burning passion for cupcakes (burning, haha geddit?) and all things cupcake related - and also has a penchant for sharing with the world her kitchen stories and culinary endeavours (or the lack of it!).

Liplickin'! tries hard not to be your run-of-the-mill online cupcake business by offering fresh flavours and very simple designs (for the time being, hopefully. not a pastry chef, remember?). Although we're all very much in love with the idea of a beautifully decorated thematic cupcake, the philosophy of Liplickin'! inclines towards the classic cupcake look and not something overdone- sometimes a dollop of frosting is all we ever need for a good cupcake! What matters most here at Liplickin'! is the lip -licking taste and the wonderful feeling that you'll get from eating a good cake.


Liplickin'! cupcakes may not win in the looks department, but rest assured that all ingredients used is as fresh and as natural as possible. Each cupcake has a unique name and a story behind it, because when eating a cupcake, sometimes your imagination runs a little while, so feed that imagination!

Liplickin! strives to be experimental in the kitchen and will periodically update the blog with new flavours and ideas. We enjoy a little humour in our lives, so we laugh it off when something funny like a baking hazard happens, coz even the best bakers have bad days!
