My Little Cupcake - Neutral Bay, Sydney

Cute little cupcake shop that's rather HARD to find, to be honest. I mean, for more experienced people or people with better sense of navigation, this place might be easy to locate, but for people like me who sucks at direction, with no GPS I'm helpless.

I was getting some cupcakes for Eat Like a Cow's 1st birthday bash.

It's actually not that far away from the city, but I kind of took the long way round the back so it took almost an hour to reach this place from the city!


The shop is really cute, and they don't just sell cupcakes, but teacups, teapots, dishes, baskets, birthday supplies and stuffs as well. Everything is all cute and pastel color-y. They even had this cute tiered cupcake holder. An ideal place to go if you're looking for very girly birthday party supply.

They also do custom-made cupcakes, whereupon you can print your company logo on cupcakes for corporate gifts. Nice.

And oh, the cupcakes are yummy.

Cupcakes by Chocalot - eX, Jakarta

Cupcakes. Mmm. Who doesn't like cupcakes. Let's eat cupcakes, they say. Cupcakes. Cakes on tiny cups. Naughtier than muffins, less sinful than glazed donuts.

Cupcakes by Chocalot is one of the new additions to Jakarta's sugar-addicted society. I believe there's no other shops in Jakarta that sells cupcakes exclusively. In Jakarta, cupcakes are not as common as muffins, petit fours or even macaroons, well, in fact, it's quite a task to find American-style cupcakes in Jakarta. Most cupcakes are sold in some bakeries in Jakarta, but even so, it's never that popular. I wonder why.


In recent years, a lot of people started to sell cupcakes in Jakarta. It's usually home made cupcakes and they only sell those to their friends. This small but growing cupcake culture is primarily brought by those people who lived / studied in places such as the U.S. or Canada, where cupcakes are considerably more common and popular. I've also came across some cupcakes in Jakarta from my mom's expatriate friends.

Chocalot first opened its doors as a chocolate specialty cafe at Mahakam street in Jakarta, and then followed by an outlet in Senayan City's Urban Kitchen. It started off as small home business that advertise via words of mouth. Around last year, they launched 'Cupcakes by Chocalot' and quickly gained a small amount of fans. Despite now that they've opened a couple of outlets in Jakarta (one of them is in eX), it is still basically a small business with small group of fans. They have about 10 types of specialty cupcakes on their repertoire, each tastefully decorated and look just like the ones sold in the U.S. The price is not exactly cheap by Indonesian standards, but the portion is generous enough to compensate that.

Raspberry Cupcake

I really love the packaging. They've got boxes to fit single, double and I think 4 cupcakes. Their cupcakes are mighty tasty, they seemed to use natural ingredients. Their outlet is also tastefully decorated, which appeals to many female customers. From what I see, they are not exactly selling like hotcakes, (and certainly nowhere nearly as much as those ubiquitous J.co donuts), but I hope that their business will pick up soon because I just love their cute cupcakes.
