Merry Cupcakes

Once upon a time, in the land of Melbourne, Australia, I, an ordinary high school girl fell in love with cupcakes. I loved their taste, their cuteness, and how they are a good-sized dessert that will leave you satisfied but not sick in the stomach. Little did I know, this newfound love would one day change my life.

Throughout the years, I discovered that not only did I possess the skills to eat cupcakes, I had the ability to bake them too! And according to my friends, they weren’t too shabby either. As university went on, I learnt how to modify recipes to make them healthier; and thus, the cupcake experimenting began.

Cupcakes, alas, are not usually associated with good nutrition; however, through my experiments, I was able to create cupcakes that are healthier with the same great taste. In this day and age, a healthy diet and lifestyle is crucial to our wellbeing and we want to consume as little empty kilojoules as possible…despite our need for the occasional sweet treat. The healthier cupcakes I created are better alternatives for when we do give in to our sweet cravings now and then, as well as for birthdays and other fun occasions.

4 years later, I graduated as a dietitian and a nutritionist. After some soul-searching, I realised that I wished to unleash my healthier cupcakes to the public. Thus, Merry Cupcakes was born! Come join me on my journey to bring healthier cupcakes to the townsfolk.
