Paket Pertama Kukila

11:40:00

Dua hari lalu jadi hari yang cukup bersejarah di bulan Ramadhan ini. Saya akhirnya mengirimkan 1 paket pesanan kue kering Kukila untuk pertama kalinya. Yeayy!

Mengerjakan paket untuk sahabat saya, Poet ini bikin sport jantung. Karena untuk 1 varian di dalamnya, Greentea Cookies, saya sempat gagal di waktu yang ditargetkan. Memasak memang sedikit banyak seperti orang berkenalan. Saya harus tahu sifatnya, kesukaan, yang tidak disukai, dan seterusnya. Nah, si Greentea Cookies ini ternyata minta perhatian lebih dibanding kawan-kawannya. Nggak mau didiamkan atau ditinggal sebentar. Untuk membentuknya butuh kehati-hatian. Ia tidak rapuh, tapi tidak suka terburu-buru. Greentea Cookies juga punya kelebihan dibanding yang lain: ia luar biasa menarik, bahkan sebelum ditemui. Artinya, meskipun banyak yang belum dapat tester kue kering yang satu ini, tapi yang pesan sudah banyak. Hihi. 

Lebaran sudah dekat, begitu pula tenggat waktu untuk bersenang-senang dengan kue-kue imut nan enak ini. Jadi... let's have fun!

First Bucks Always The Sweetest

08:34:00


Last week I posted a picture in my instagram account: three boxes in a frame showing pictures of traditional javanese yellow rice, a decorated ricebox and a logo named Kukila. Alhamdulillah, that was my first time in having bucks from my cooking creation. Yeaaayyy! =D

The first step is always the biggest, and anything you earned is priceless & sweet. I've been already feel the fruits of my hard work in communication skills, translation, public speaking, selling, arts, organizing events and so on. But cooks? I never thought of it. And it doubled the panic attacks, the curiosity and the happiness.

It starts when mas Igak, my former boss & a good friend as forever asked me to make a complete javanese yellow rice packaged in a box for his daughter's birthday. He asked me to decorate it with "Princess" theme. Okay, I suddenly have a head Full of doubt and a heartbeat which keep increased. I believe that I could make it as my pleasure, but take it as an order which need to be responsible is quite new to me.

I need reassuring myself over and over by asking my mom & hubby's opinion about my own capabilities. After did several profit calculations and simple maths of my guts, I choose to receive the order.

About the food & recipes, checked. The deco & shapes, a gigantic question mark raised. I have an idea to make it as a bento concept, but it doesn't suit "Princess" theme. Then I tried to search the moulding for the rice. It's a completely unbeatable hunting. Finally I made it into 3 shapes: teddy bear, heart & butterfly. I tried to add "Princess" feeling by stick a Cinderella picture to the perkedel skewers. Hehe.

For the outside decoration, I put colourful tape and top it off with the logo of Kukila. I made the logo image with Snapee, 20 minutes in my cellphone. Not bad, isn't it? ;)
I already have Kukila blueprint since last year. I am not sure when will I start the whole plan. But when I did this project, I thought it was a clear sign (and a loud pray) to start Kukila bit by bit. And the most important is starting it now.


Since then I was a (trying hard to be) busy bee, prepare every step by myself. The time has come and I hope I could complete all the lines in the blueprint. Wish me luck, fellas! =*
