Hi Yoo lee,

I bought from Starnet in IMM building. I really don't know the price but it's not so expensive as before. Normally I will buy a lot so much so that I don't know the price.

Hi Aunty Yochana, i went to starnet today. There are alot of different types of paper cup. However, the company is mainly doing wholesales and I find it very difficult to purchase them for my personal use (as i do not need so many paper cup at a time). Are there any other shops that you can recommend to purchase my paper cups?

Thank you very much.

Hi Wendy,

Try sun lik and phoon huat. They sell in smaller quantity.

Hi Aunty, have you tried using the Bourbon paste? They are very nice too, you will see tiny specs of the vanilla beans on your cakes. Just bought my extract and paste last week, yet to try. : )

Hi Maya

Where did you buy your Bourbon paste? and at how much?

Yesterday I bought a small bottle of Pistachio paste at S$16-00.

Aunty, I bought it at Shermay's. I went for one class and after tasting the vanilla cupcake, I was convinced to buy. Hehehehe... Rather pricey though. The paste is going for $50+ for 118ml. I got both the paste and extract at offer price.

Hi Maya,

yes it's really expensive. Remember to keep it in the fridge otherwise the smell will go off.

Oh really? I didn't know that. Shall do it the first thing I get home tonight. Normally I don't keep my flavourings in the fridge. So it is advisable to keep in the fridge huh?
Thanks

Hi Maya,

this madagascar bourbon must put in the fridge. The star brand or bake king brand - no need to put in the fridge.

Hi Aunty Yochana

Thanks for letting me know that I need to keep the Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract and Paste in the fridge. My friend from Singapore took it back for me and she went for the cupcake course at Shermay. Jocelyn's cupcake is amazing. I kept it in the fridge for 2 days and it is still moist. Baked it on Sunday and gave it to my friend on Tuesday and she thought that I baked it on Tuesday morning.

She and her family loved the Vanilla and Valrhona Cupcakes with the Swiss Meringue Buttercream and said it was the best cupcake she had ever tasted. The ingredients as well as the recipe is worth every cent that went into it.
