We bought a scrumptious little cake last Saturday afternoon for our two birthday girls. We'd gone to Star Vista to pick up some bits and pieces Noi had ordered from the Nando's there when she spied a funky little stall belonging to Twelve Cupcakes. I'm not all that familiar with their offerings but the cakes at the counter looked appetising enough, and we were well pleased with our purchase when we tucked into it at Fafa's place in the evening. I can remember thinking as the friendly lady at the cake place served us that the business must be doing well given the good service and general sense of well-being.
I was wrong, deeply so. It turns out that the franchise shut down all its branches abruptly today leaving its employees, who didn't see this coming, in a deep lurch. So that nice, efficient lady who served us is probably in a bit of mess now. Or a lot of a mess.
Three observations: 1) don't trust appearances; 2) belong to a strong union if you're not one of the bosses; 3) enjoy your cake while it lasts - which may not be for too long.
