Happy hump day, Chewys! We threw a baby shower for Chanelle one week in advance over the weekend 🙂 It was the MIL’s suggestion and she wanted to invite her family members and relatives so we went along with it. I personally was quite afraid that Chanelle would be overstimulated with so many people carrying and cuddling her but she slept so soundly for the first few hours. When she finally woke up, all aunties and grannies were fawning over her and showering her with hugs and kisses. LOL.

I was really lucky to receive Jara Petit’s email two weeks before Little misschewy’s baby shower because my MIL was also planning to order full month packages and that certainly saved us some trouble amidst the busy period. We were blessed with 20 boxes of Cheesecups with gift favours and had them delivered to our place early in the morning on the day of the celebration. I like the simple and clean design of the boxes, and of course, blue is my favourite color! 😉 What are Cheesecups, you ask? Cheesecups are miniature cheesecakes in cups, an interesting hybrid between cheesecakes and cupcakes! What a brilliant idea! More often than not, even a cheesecake lover like myself find it hard to polish off a slice of cheesecake all by myself in a single sitting. These Cheesecups available in muffin cup sizes allow one to indulge without guilt!

Founded in 2009, Jara Petit Cheesecups sparked off as a hobby between best friends Jia Hui and Cara after the duo devoted much time in the kitchen experimenting various ways of baking cheesecakes in their favourite flavours. The girls shared their Cheesecups with family and friends, which were very well received and this spurred the two best friends to turn their hobby into a business setting up a Jara Petit Cheesecups bakery in 2013. They started selling Cheesecups online, gathering feedback and improving on the Cheesecups along the way. In July 2013, Jara Petit set up their first pop-up store at a quaint café along Bussorah Street and managed to build a small but significant following. Jia Hui and Cara were then determined to focus their efforts on opening a permanent shop at Dhoby Ghaut Xchange, which is slated to open on 17 April!

Jara Petit’s Cheesecups are hand-baked daily using premium cream cheese and fresh ingredients. You can rest assured that there are no added preservatives or artificial flavouring. These Cheesecups are also suitable for vegetarians and Muslims as they do not contain gelatine or pork derived ingredients. Made up of three layers – the wheatmeal biscuit crust, cheesecake and toppings, Jara Petit’s Cheesecups are specially catered to suit our local tastebuds and currently come in nine signature flavours – Classic, Blueberry, Lemon, Durian, Matcha, Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, Banoffee and Lavender! On the overall, the Cheesecups are neither cloyingly rich nor sweet, and they taste really refreshing! They are best consumed chilled. Plastic spoons were provided and I was digging into the Cheesecups like a happy little girl. Even my MIL who isn’t much of a desserts person was singing praises for these yummy goodies! 🙂

There are 5 types of baby shower packages that you can choose from. Prices range from $10 to $28 per box with a minimum order of 10 boxes. Our package consists of 3 Cheesecups and 3 gift favours. Some of the other packages come with more Cheesecups, which I highly recommend! 🙂

Personalized baby cards can be included at $1 each, with a minimum order of 20 pieces. Besides baby’s full name, birthday and parents’ names as seen above, the baby cards can also be customized to include baby’s photo and other details such as weight and length 🙂

This is the only package that has all 3 gift favours – red eggs, ang ku kuehs and marshmallows! The bags of marshmallows were such a hit among our younger nieces and nephews and it kept them occupied for a while 😛

As with the gift favours, you can have your choice of Cheesecup flavours but only one combination of flavours and favours is allowed per order.

All baby shower packages come with a set of three toppers. If you wish to customize the toppers, it can be done at 80cents to $2 depending on the design.

This is by far the cutest topper I have ever seen! You can actually save some of these toppers for scrapbooking purposes 🙂 If you are looking for unique baby shower packages that will delight your guests, Jara Petit is certainly worth considering! They also cater to other occasions and corporate events.

Here comes the exciting news! Jara Petit’s very first shop will be opening tomorrow, 17 April 2014, at Dhoby Ghaut Xchange! And they are running the following promotions:

1. Like and Share: People who like Jara Petit’s facebook page and share the above poster publicly on their facebook page by 17th April will stand to win a box of 9 assorted Cheesecups.

2. Opening Special: All Cheesecups will be sold at $3 each for the first week of Jara Petit’s opening. (17th April – 23rd April) Usual price is $3.30 per Cheesecup.
