Roller-coaster first week

It's just been a week into our launching and we are all fired up by the response!

We've made 3 successful deliveries to date with # 4 due later this evening and we have a few more to go! To all our friends, thanks for the support and here's a special shoutout to T* for the marketing, we owe you one! :)

We must say that it was a lil nerve-wrecking to meet our first order. We were all gung-ho to ensure it was mind blowing. Check out the durians we used for this batch.




Slurp~

However when morning came (6 a.m.!!) and we were set to start decorating the cake, we had a bit of a nasty shock! It just a tad too soft to hold up on it's own! Bummer ~

After contemplating between proceeding with the less than 200% perfect cake as opposed to backing out of our first order, we decided we wouldn't deliver on a cake that was not up to mark.

We bit the bullet and told our first customer, AD the unfortunate situation and if we could make the delivery the next day. She agreed and here's thanking AD for being an absolute sweetheart~

That night both J & C brain-stormed for a bit. We broke some sweat trying to refine our recipe and realised this would probably make or break the entire dream.

When morning came(6a.m. again!), it was the moment of truth. Were we as good as we thought or were we just lucky the first time around? We removed the pan and voila, the cake looked fabulous!! We made it! Check out the picture below:




Botak cake :p

Confidence back and over the top excited that the delivery would be a success, we got to decorating and perfecting our very first order. Pictures below to show the transformation of our naked cake to sum hot stuff!



The plain ol' durian cheesie


Putting some nice toasted almonds as a finishing touch~

And voila! The infamous CheeseTease Durian Cheesecake!





Delivery 1 was a success and it also resulted in Delivery 3 (which was just completed 30 mins ago~).

After some thought we decided to change our topping to some shaved white chocolate and lovely Beryl's Dark Choc bits. We think it goes better with the cake and also its kinda hard to find sweet strawberries here.

I must say I like this better! Like snowflakes!

So anyway, keep 'em coming folks, J and myself are off to scout for some drop-dead-lovely durian now for our upcoming orders~


Oh, breaking news! We're on Google! :D Search for the keywords "cheesetease" + "durian" and ta-daaaa!


Btw, Happy Father's Day to all dads out there!

Welcome to CheeseTease! For sugar, spice & everything nice!


Hello there and welcome to this blog of wonderful cheese creations.

It started off as a weekend project for the two creators, JC to spend some time in the kitchen and see what they could come up with. And come up they did...presenting...the Amazing Durian Cheesecake!!!

As they sat fat and happy enjoying each tasty morsel of the dessert, they thought to themselves “Hey, this is so tasty I think I could sell this”. Being trained paper-pushers consultants, no project was to go ahead without any trial. So using their hardened cynical colleagues as the ultimate testing-ground for food, they dived into the deep end and did a tasting session. Needless to say the outcome was positive, so positive in fact that people raved about the amazing durian cheesecake and wanted more. Needless to say as well the office started smelling a bit funny but that’s totally unrelated with our story.

With a few orders in hand and confidence boosted, JC set about spreading the love of their amazing durian cheesecake to the world through this blog. After seeing the light (plus the moolah), there was no turning back. So here you are and we hope you enjoy reading our food adventures and journey as budding entrepreneurs, all inspired by a durian cheesecake.

Bon appetit!
