Kitchen Capers Retail

Coleslaw, I know thanks. I just think the tulips especially is too cute.

Thanks also, Gina. I actually need these lambat lagi, still got time .... so I can actually wait.

I am crossed eye now. Supplier send me new catalog. I see the Jasmine flowers, I wanna faint! so pretty. They can make it for me at 1.5 cm in diameter for putting onto cupcakes. Then there is the Roseberries too. I think these will be ordered in my next shipment. Then will be around mid May.

By the way, I know many of you can get these nearer to your hometown in Malaysia. But the ones I have ordered are not the usual standard flowers which all the shops sell. You will notice that I only bring in exotic flowers like tulips, carnations, orchids, fresia, jasmine flowers, Sakura, etc.

Even the roses I am getting, I have ask for special colours. There will gold, orange, yellow, blue, pink, red, maroon, chocolate, etc. The leaves for all the flowers have different sizes so people can pick and choose what they like to have.

stay tuned..my shipment is coming in end of next week..my first batch first.

Then can show photos. I am getting very excited now myself.

Hi gina,

Congratulations!
How far is your shop from HOLLAND VILLAGE? Will be in Spore from April 11 for about a week. Any arrivals then? would be great to have a look at them.

Well done and success!

Margaret,

Well, there are no MRT nearby. The best I can say its almost central. 10 mins car ride to town(Orchard Rd area for shopping).

The ribbons and favour bags will only be in end of April. The rest of my stuff will arrive mid April. My house will be off limits till my shop opens. Coz everything will be home with me.

thanks zalina..
but i guess tak sempat since gina say the ribbons will come in end of april..
i shall tumpang some other time ya..terima kasih

Gina, my SG trip is being postponed till mid April, will be there from April 12 so I guess I can see some of your new stuff by then.

And Margaret if you are still there during weekend 18 & 19 maybe we can check the cake scenes together :-) my hotel is on Scotts Road, near enough to Borders and Orchard Road.

this is exciting Gina :-)

Tomorrow I will take photos of the flowers that just arrived today. now too dark to do anything.

Gina,
Would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you (eh hmm, so serious). Finally your dream comes true. I am so happy for you. Must find an excuse to go to SG and drop by your place. Any free accomodation or not

Sincere here, you have been doing great all these while at KC forum and starting a retail is definitely the way to go. Thank you for KC's support. Any more stuff you wish to sponsor MCDC ?

thanks for the update Gina..your update really bothers me alot..really wanna go and see for myself your shop and great things you are selling there in future, do we still buy your stuffs online through kitchencapers.net or will you be hosting a new website for that?

can't wait Gina

Jo, Eunice
I have been in SG for 1.5 weeks now and have not gotten a single chance to visit Gina's or any other baking suppliers. Still putting in late hours here too .. but have emptied my pockets with new cake books/magazines though

So Gina I HOPE to visit your shop in my next visit as it is close to my SG office. Going home this friday night which means no time to see your shop opening either.

Mags & books are one of my pet loves Hehe good for you! But a bummer about missing it this round huh! I'll be there in June too, but probably too busy to do anything as it's a camp!

So Najat, Kak, what did you get?

Eunice, there are sooooo mnay books in Kinukoniya at Takashimaya that I do not have. Considering I already have many at home it was like "which one is more crucial to have" kinda decided what I bought.
I saw the Cake Bible by Rose too .. tempting ..

Lets just say that I could claim GST on the books that I bought last week (ie only purchases above SGD100 can claim GST).
And of course my DH did not see them, I hid them
