OH MY LAUNCH!

I know this post comes a little late, but hey, like Drake says, "...never late is better..."


For those who were at the launch, thank you.  For those who weren't, we know you were supporting us in spirit!  Uzma and I could not have asked for anything more - we SOLD OUT!  We weren't too sure as to what to expect, and come mid-day, we were starting to get a little worried about what we were going to do with all of our left overs, but that worry was quickly erased come 3pm.  The shop was so packed that people had to pass their money through others in front of them, and we had to do the same with the cupcake orders - kind of like the way people in a mosh pit get passed around.


Uzma, Nazneen (my little cousin) and myself, spent approximately 30 hours preparing for our big launch.  It definitely wasn't an easy task, considering we were baking out of our apartment.  Nonetheless, 30 hours later, we had over 1000 mini cupcakes and close to 300 regular sized cupcakes.  


Our friends, our family and also random strangers blessed us at Tea Blendz that day.  Not only did they buy cupcakes, but they also enjoyed some incredible tea made my Huzeifa and Khadija Jafferji (the owners of Tea Blendz).  In fact, I feel like every single person who came for the launch was more than pleasantly surprised with the amazing tea and can't wait to hit Tea Blendz up again for their next order.


In addition to the launch, we baked 100 cupcakes for Tehmina Haq's engagement in Mississauga (pictures attached) - we received some great feedback and are so appreciative of the Haq family supporting Oh My Cupcake!


All in all, a successful day.  Yeah, it got chaotic, and yes, I canvassed the streets, but ultimately it all lead to a great day and a great start for Oh My Cupcake!  We had a huge variety of cupcakes available and would love to know what your favourite ones were; please add a comment to the blog and let us know.  Don't forget about our contest starting October 1!


A special thanks to Huzeifa and Khadija for opening up their shop and allowing us to use their space.  Also, I'd like to thank Nazneen for her hard work.


Thanks to everyone for all their support - we look forward to baking for your next event!
