8: Online stores that sell food. Say what?

I remember mentioning about how I was sourcing for the different types of online retail stores for our com125 group project, and I came across something very interesting to me. People would often think that online retail stores usually sell retail products like clothes and shoes, and maybe electronics or cars. Basically things that we use. However, have we ever thought about the existence of online retail stores that actually sells things that we consume? Food for example? As for me, I am a self proclaimed compulsive shopper and throughout my entire experience with shopping online, I have not come across online shops that sell food online and that is why I find this particular online retail store really interesting.

This blog shop that I am about to introduce sells CUPCAKES. Yes, I am not joking, edible cupcakes. (And coincidentally, after i found out, it was started and owned by my own cousin. :D)

So this is how their website layout is like, simple and easy to make.

And these are examples of cupcakes they make (most of which are customised cupcakes). The advantage of this is that customers get to customise their own cupcake and they are able to choose from a variety of designs and flavours they desire. So you can order cupcakes for a certain occasion and they can even customise them for you!

Here is an example of the flavour palettes they offer, how refreshing!

Also, to add on to the idea of convenience, all you have to do is to order online and then these pretty cupcakes will be delivered to you at wherever you want. Oh how internet business is thriving, so much so that food is readily available at the comfort of your own space and time. (:
