In early April, a letter landed on my hands, the official kind, with stamps and stern wording, asking us to stop all workshops at our studio. Just like that.
To say we were shocked is an understatement. For nearly eight years, our studio was more than a kitchen where we fulfilled orders. It was a party spot, a team building hub, a second home where kids giggled through piping practice, coworkers high fived over funny cake decorations, and flour practically lived in the air.
We loved it! Our clients loved it! And we weren’t ready to let it go.
But as bakers, we know: when your cake sinks, you don’t toss the batter. You adjust the temperature and try again.
So we pivoted. FAST. The very next day after getting the letter I started scouting spaces, having meetings, reshuffled logistics, and figured out how to make our frosting magic happen in homes, hotel suites, party rooms, wherever you are really.
And for those who had already booked with us? We made sure to deliver as we promised, just in another location.
Now, here comes the exciting part...
Baking Maniac Workshops Are Officially Offsite.
Whether it’s a birthday bash, a corporate wind-down, or just an excuse to get messy with buttercream, we’re bringing the full experience to you. Aprons, frosting, sprinkles, music, joy, all of it. Tailored for kids, adults, and everyone in between.
Last week we had our first bookings for off-site workshops, 3 bookings in the first week of our off-site workshops, and all across Hong Kong, was it a challenge? Yes. Was it fun? Also yes.
Our obsession with baking hasn’t changed. Neither has our love for creating beautiful core memories. The only difference? We’ve got a lot more room to grow.
Thank you for sticking with us. For cheering us on.
For letting us be part of your celebrations. Here’s to baking in new places, with the same heart.
