Activities

I named my baking page Issyo (一绪）which means togetherness in Japanese. This is in conjunction with my personal aim, which is to bring people together through food. I update seasonal baking during different festivals such as the Chinese New Year, Christmas, Malaysia Independence Day, etc. My baking page has garnered a number of followers and I truly appreciate each and every support. I often seek feedback from my customers too to help me improve my baking skills. I'd say my best-selling item is the Choux Au Craquelin because people always request for more. Seasonally, I try to come out with different flavors that represent the festival itself. For example, On Malaysia Independence Day, I came up with the national food — kaya (coconut jam) flavored choux. My new item did garner attention on social media later a local beverage business that sells local coffee drinks has contacted me for collaboration. Although I started this page for my personal passion and to display my hobby for baking, I also learned lots of new interpersonal skills from experiences like this. I learned about customer service while responding to customers' requests, I also picked up some business knowledge from collaboration opportunities like negotiating on the splitting and such.
