0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Sweet Sangat Cupcake Fairy is our latest and greatest cupcake. We designed this
cupcake to benefit the customer for Life. For the most part, we just do cupcakes. We have a few
other treats available, but the focus is definitely on the cupcakes. We believe in doing one thing
exceptionally well rather than multiple things mediocrely. We work out of our commercial or
retail kitchen rather than the home kitchen so that would be more of the transition. The reason for
this was we just outgrew our home kitchen.
When we found our space and started working on turning it into a commercial kitchen,
we did not initially plan on being open for retail/walk-in business when we opened in August
2011. However, once people found out that we were in commercial space and no longer in our
home, we were besieged with requests to be open for walk-in business. After deciding that we
there working anyway and why not make some extra money while we at it, we opened the doors
for walk-in traffic. We started small, just 3 days a week to see how it went, and by November
2011, we were open 6 days a week.
We have to be very diplomatic in explaining to your customers as to why something may
or may not be done. Everything is made to order for each customer. The base recipes (cakes and
icing) are combinations of family recipes, recipes from books and recipes we found on the web.
We made our own mutant recipes and have consistently used those since we started.
We are tried some advertising in papers and the best for us which is make our own
website online while Facebook and Twitter are amazing tools. Initially, we was wary of social
media. As a recovering Facebook addict, the thought of putting my business on Facebook just
did not seem like a great idea.
Part of what makes our cupcakes awesome is that we keep our overhead low, which
allows our prices to be low compared to other retail cupcakes. We also offers caters weddings,
events, baby showers and more offers local delivery for our delicious cupcakes.

7.0 HISTORY OF CUPCAKE


Today we found a newspaper article (registration required) that not only talked about
cupcakes newfound popularity amongst adults, it also gave some cupcake history. Thought we
share that knowledge with you, the cupcake-devoted:
Here's a cupcake primer: A "cup" cake in 19th Century America might have been a small cake,
but it wasn't necessarily so. They were so called because the ingredients for them were measured
in cups instead of weighed, as had been the custom. According to "Baking in America" by Greg
Patent, this was revolutionary because of the tremendous time it saved in the kitchen.
Whether it was a "cup," "measure" or "number" cake, the shift to measuring from weighing was
indeed a significant one, according to "The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in
America." But it goes on to explain that the cup name had a double meaning because of the
practice of baking in small containers -- including tea cups.
The cups were for convenience because hearth ovens took an extremely long time to bake a large
cake and early cakes, by the way, were enormous and burning was common. Gem pans, early
muffin tins, were common in households around the turn of the 20th Century and cupcakes were
then baked in those.
And if you are wondering, it was 1919 when Hostess introduced the famous snack cupcake, but
it did not become the cream-filled, squiggle-topped Hostess Cup Cake we know today until
1950.
It is interesting to note that the cakes were likely called "number" cakes because of a mnemonic
device for remembering the recipe: One cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of flour and
four eggs plus one cup of milk and one spoonful of soda.
The formula became known as the one-two-three-four cake, and today's cupcakes are mostly still
made with similar traditional cake ingredients.

9.0 PRODUCT

9.1 Product Differentiations


Have two possible theories are circulating in the food world. Both theories are based on cupcake
recipes that we create. The first theory is that cake batter was cooked in teacups and other small
containers since it took such a long time to cook cakes in hearth ovens. The small teacups cut
the cooking time of cakes dramatically. The second theory is based on how the ingredients in the
cupcake recipes were measured. (1 cup flour, 2 cups sugar) . However they first came about,
these wonderful creations we call cupcakes are still near and dear to everyone's heart whether
we're young or just young at heart. Our cupcake recipes are here to help everyone recreate their
fondest childhood memories or to create new memories using more grown-up cupcake recipes.
We create Unique gorgeous cupcakes that are made with the finest quality ingredients, covertures
Belgian chocolate gouache , pure butter and eggs, each cupcake is lovingly topped with the finest
sugar decoration created by hand. We do not compromise on quality, taste and decoration which

Christmas.
9.2 Brand
Whether successful brands like it or not, the Sweet Sangat cupcake fairy is happily baking at the
moment and if brand owners pay attention they could benefit from these activities. Brand
loyalists, cupcake artists and bakeries are using the cupcake as a means of expression at parties
and weddings to share brand experiences with customers, friends and guests. Trademark and
copyright violation concerns aside, we are baking works of domestic art and sharing that with
other people at parties and also pictures.
9.3 Labeling
We included logo of company, name of product, net weight, serving suggestion, due date, contact
us to order, nutrition information , ingredient, precautions, way of preparation, pricing, address,
Halals logo. Meanwhile on the more conservative side of the collective phenomenon,

corporations are labelling of cupcakes for functions and events to foster loyalty among
employees, express brand pride and extend brand awareness. Absolutely anything from logos and
images can now be printed using edible inks on icing sheets. It might surprise some to know that
some Canon bubblejet printers are used to create them. Its a liltle bit save our budget.
