We participated in our first open booth sale yesterday, at the le tour the alam budiman cycling carnival. I’m a very shy person face to face, memang segan nak berjualan open table ni. Offering your services online limit whatever communication through email and text messages sahaja. Bercakap melalui phone sangat minimal, biasanya during collection sahaja. So if you think the open booth sale was my idea, you are wrong.
It was hubby yang beriya2 sangat persuade me to participate. Aku tak teruja pada mulanya but I went along anyway because I know he meant well. It’ll help to create awareness of our small biz but most of all we just want to support the community’s event. Hubby aktif juga dengan kegiatan surau, so it is not the money that counts – well, the biz was never about money to start with.
Anyway, it was a small, low key event. Yesterday’s event was more for the children. tapi tak sangkalah langsung takde mak bapak accompany anak masing2. style drop and collect later je rasanya. Lepas tu satu2nya sales booth yang ada kat situ was ours. Malunya rasa. Masa mula2 hubby bagitau pasal event tu bunyinya macam banyak gerai yang akan dibuka, tiba2 on the event day cuma kami je yang turn up. Aduhhh segan giler seh. Pun begitu kami teruskan juga. My children yang sejak awal excited nak tolong mama dia berjualan terus jadi patung. Fahmi tak henti2 merungut “takde pun orang beli…” aduhhh malu aku. I didn’t bake much. Hanya 20pcs each of choc cupcake, vanilla and carrot cupcakes. Ada juga buat choc fudge frosting whole kek and black forest kek yang aku tinggalkan kat rumah tak jadi nak bawa bila tengok orang dua kerat je.
Lama juga kami duduk termenung. Budak2 lalu lalang setakat jeling2 je macam segan. Orang dewasa yang dua kerat mostly urusetia memanglah takde masa nak menjenguk gerai kami. Aku dah patah semangat, fahmi dan yaya dah naik boring, hubby tersenyum kambing dengan sunglasses dia tu. tipah tertipu…bang.
Until sorang kawan hubby ni datang. Oh I am counting on him to kick start the whole thing bila yang lain2 macam segan2 je. reasonnya sebab memang sejak last few weeks I heard from hubby yang kawan dia ni asyik tanya pasal kek bila dia dapat tau ada baker kat rumah hubby ;-). tak taulah yang lain2 tu betul2 segan atau tak berminat. Tapi bila dia yang mulakan break the ice terus berpusu2 budak2 dan mak budak serta bapak budak serbu. Walaupun crowd tersangat kecil, tapi by the end of the event habis semua kek atas meja. Alhamdulillah sambutan yang perlahan tapi sangat baik. Owh, all the cakes were sold at knock down price. This time around it was not for the money. Tapi saya sangat malu berjualan solo begitu ;-P
dummy fondant cake bertemakan bumblebee in a garden ni jadi tumpuan anak2 kecil kat karnival. sampai ada yang merengek2 minta dibelikan
bapak budak mengalahkan budak2 main acara basikal paling perlahan sampai ada yang sanggup buang angin tayar!
