cakesss

this came out in the last Sunday times:

ahaha, ok, ignore the extra decorations, i got carried away with photoshop. anyway, when i saw this, it was like, oh maaan, i can totally hear my mother's heart rip into pieces. hahaha, after reading it, she complained that her crepe cakes even looked so much better than that. oh well, everyone's hey days have to pass sometime. but i admit it is quite heartbreaking to think that your cake could have been number one.

Obolo came out too! HAHA, number 46. even polar's $1 sugar rolls beat Obolo's $6.20 Noisette. oh dear, i should be siding Obolo hor? but Obolo is overpriced and polar is cheap and i have always loved their sugar rolls ever since forever. so sugar rolls win. C: anyway i seeeeeriously never liked the Noisette, it's plain and not that chocolatey and the hazelnuts arn't crunchy (shit, can i get sued for saying this?) anyway, on sunday itself, we sold FORTY ONE Noisettes. siao, i had a lot of trouble counting and recounting how many we sold, and somehow just while i was counting, suddenly so customers kept coming in, and i had to keep starting over. dumb...
so yeah, since i am such a good employee of Obolo and i want people to have an enjoyable and worthwhile experience purchasing products from us, i keep suggesting to people that they should try the Soleil (which is my favourite) instead of the Noisette (which is the best seller). kena sai, people still keep choosing the Noisette. total idiots. haha, but today i managed to convince more people not to get the Noisette than on Sunday. omg, people who came into Obolo on Sunday all seem to be on a mission, BUY NOISETTES.

and somehow i don't really get the "Best Seller" logic. like how do they know whether something is best seller or not? well i guess at first it's really easy to tell, just see which cake is sold the most la. but after a while, new cakes are added and it may be a hell lot better than the best seller but because we keep telling people that this certain cake is the best seller, they would of course try the best seller first and it would be dunno how long later when they get to try the new item. so in the end, the noisette just keeps getting bought more and will continue being known as the best seller. so yeah, this is exactly the case for the Noisette and Soleil cus the Soleil is rather new (came out in Dec), after the Noisette was labeled the best seller and i honestly think that the Soleil could someday replace the Noisette as best seller. so yes, best sellers shouldn't be labeled as best sellers.

haha, i really like this article of the 50 yummiest cakes! i realised i've tried quite a number of them, without really realising. i think i love this article so much that i'm gonna paste it on my bedroom wall or something. maybe frame it up.. maybe put spotlights... maybe set up a burglar alarm around it... yeah... that'll be cool...
