A piece of cake

by Zip Cheung

Customers coming to Twins Company always find themselves like entering a candy shop. Every item at this supplier of dessert ingredients and equipment looks so tempting that customers have an urge to make a delicious dessert at once.

ˇ§I like the shop because itˇ¦s convenient and I can find whatever ingredients I want. And they are cheaper than those in Cityˇ¦super,ˇ¨ said Claudia Yeung Wai-man, a 17-year-old student.

From vanilla oil to chocolate, rum wine, cake stand and electrical egg beater, all ingredients and kitchen utensils needed for making desserts can be found in the shop.

Staff have good professional knowledge and are ready to help customers who have any queries. Another customer Tiffany Lee Hei-yee, 24, said: ˇ§I can always get ideas (from this shop) on what to make for my family. I also appreciate that they are selling many packages of ingredients. They are cute and useful to decorate the cake.ˇ¨

Twins Company also offers lessons to teach customers how to make cakes, which can be tailored for people who do not want to spend too much time on choosing ingredients and looking for a recipe.

The instructors are senior chefs who specialise in making pastry and cakes. Customers can learn to make different kinds of cakes such as tiramisu, muffin, cookies and cappuccino mousse cake. Each lesson charges $200 to $350.

The shop has two branches with one in Shanghai Street in Yau Ma Tei and the other in Lockhart Road in Wan Chai. The Yau Ma Tei store is located at 8/F, On Yip Commercial Building, 395-397 Shanghai Street .
