Having the love for food, Abigail Lim, the young lady behind The Rolling Panda bakery landed her hands in baking at the tender age of 12. The encouragement to be more involved in baking began with the first recipe that she tried out, which was brownies. Eventually, the bond between Abigail and the baking industry grew stronger and then came the birth of "The Rolling Panda" in September 2012. 

  With a day job as an Engineer, the busy schedule never stop Abigail from taking orders every day. What's on the menu of this home-based bakery? Cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, cookies, pies and a few of other food. Customers are welcomed to do customization as Abigail has these on the menu too: 3D fondant cakes, wedding cakes, cupcake tiers, baby shower/full moon gift boxes and dessert tables. 

Looking up to celebrity chefs and local bakers who had gone from home-based to large scale bakeries, Abigail strives to be an entrepreneur who has her own bakery one day.

 John's Pie has another outlet at Jln Song, which is walking distance from my work place. One afternoon, I popped by to grab a few pies for my tea break. Upon stepping in their shop, I was greeted by the 2 friendly young staff. I adore this place that has a warm atmosphere that makes every customer to feel as cozy as they are at home. Food taste even better when you are in such environment.

I bought veggie mushroom pie, chicken cheese pie and smoked chicken pie. Their pies are rich in flavors, where every bite gives you happiness! My cousin introduced me their apple cranberry pie that comes with ice cream, which I would not miss trying during my next visit.

No matter you're craving for pies over breakfast, lunch or tea break, John's Pie is the place you shall keep in mind.

Jelly Wonderland

Business name: Jelly Wonderland

Owner: Adeline

Contact no.: 012 891 7238

If cupcakes may not be your preference when it comes to celebration, perhaps jelly is the choice for you. Banker turned baker, Adeline - the founder of Jelly Wonderland is the master behind all these delicious jellies that you are looking at now. 

Adeline went after her dream and paint her life with colors by enrolling in a Professional Baking course in Taiwan, and later on had her industrial training in Thailand. Jelly Wonderland tells us that they use imported high quality Japanese agar agar powder (a substance that is derived from seaweed), fresh coconut milk and natural pandan leaves in  making jellycake. Vegetarians and Kids with Lactose Allergy who are unable to enjoy conventional cakes have another alternative now. "My greatest reward is seeing happy faces on kids, especially when children with lactose intolerance ( Dairy Products intolerance) can now eat "cakes" during their celebrations.", claimed Adeline. 

Being in a design related industry, the challenges would be meeting customers needs and wants. Adeline usually encourages her customers to share ideas and thoughts in order to ensure the outcome is what they desire. Another challenge has got to be staying up late to finish all her orders during peak/ festive seasons.

Since Shedrin was a child, she loved to watch her aunt baking in the kitchen. According to this owner of 1 Piece Of Joy, she bakes since during her primary school days. Decorating and baking cakes gives her lots of satisfaction because cakes means "JOY" and "HAPPINESS"!

Being an office worker for 8 years, one day Shedrin realized it's time to make a change in her life, to pursue her dream. She quit her full time job and moved on to baking. Initially it was just basic baking skills that she learned in Taiwan. Where giving up is not in her dictionary, Shedrin was determined to find out more on sugar paste, fondant and other knowledge through online websites and reference books. 

"When you lay your hands on something you love doing, it's no longer a job anymore, it's happiness. The smile on customers' face is the greatest achievement.", says Shedrin happily.
