April Showers Bring May Flowers

    

     April was the second month in an early Roman calendar, but became the fourth when the ancient Romans started using January as the first month. The Romans called the month Aprilis. It may come from a word meaning 'to open', or it may come from Aphrodite, the Greek name for the goddess of love.


     People may wonder why didn't we start our business as early as January? Of course, because of the above-mentioned 'reasons', April 2011 was chosen to begin our business in selling 'aphrodisiac' food. I mentioned the word aphrodisiac because chocolate is known as one of the 'foods of love' - because our products are chocolate-based. Chocolate, so 'sinful' that it had been banned in some countries centuries ago. Thanks to science, we now know that chocolate contains both a sedative which relaxes and lowers inhibition and a stimulant to increase activity and the desire for physical contact.
     
     Enough with the history of April and chocolate, the food of love. 

     Chinonets Cuppies was my idea, but originally my husband has been in the baking business since ages. (Yup, he does all the bakings and ME - taking orders!) *giggling* I still remember when I was a kid, I always told my late mom, sister and friends that I wanted to marry a chocolate factory owner. I loved eating chocolate (and everything with the chocolaty taste on it). I still do. I believe, now and forever, the things that people say, "every word you say is a prayer". I guess, it was because I liked to eat chocolate so much and I always said that I wanted to marry a chocolate factory owner, eventually, I 'managed' to marry (well, maybe NOT a chocolate factory owner!) a chocolate cake baker! *smiling*


He started out as a house builder, spending time at the construction sites with his staff for years, but exposures to cement powders etc had made him felt unwell for months. During his months of 'sick leave', he helped his mother preparing some 'kuehs' and cakes to be sold in Kuala Lumpur.

During the same period of time, he mastered baking chocolate cake, a recipe that both he and his mom 'created' out of less expensive baking products. Their moist chocolate cakes started to be noticed by people that in the end, my husband decided to let go of his construction company and started to venture in the baking industry. He started out mixing cements, now he spends most of his time mixing flours, butter, etc. :)



     So, out of pain and difficulties, Chinonets Cuppies was 'born'. We pray that 'April showers will definitely bring May flowers'. It is a reminder for us that even though we had gone through many unpleasant things in our lives, our future will be as enjoyable as we hope for.  To all, do enjoy browsing the pictures in the blog, ordering and eating the cupcakes & cakes, as much as we enjoy baking and decorating them. See you around! :)
