What Reeina, the Founder of VainPout is really known for, however, are the cupcakes. "I bake mostly cupcakes like the ever-popular red velvet, salted caramel, and chocolate cupcakes to name but a few. Additionally, we have brownies, baked New York cheesecake and tiramisu," she says.
Corporate orders have come in too, often for canape-style bites, from festive cookies and marshmallow pops, to mini forms of her cupcakes and tiramisu, and brownie platters.
Reeina only started VainPout in May this year, though she learned the art of baking as a child from her mother, "an awesome baker herself".
"As cliched as it may sound, I really started out only baking for my family and friends during the festive season. Word got round and the orders were really coming in, so I decided to have VainPout registered with the encouragement from my better half," she shared.
At VainPout, every morsel is made with not only with love, but also with a smile, Reeina adds. "My better half has always advised me that when one bakes or cooks, you should always do it with a smile. Never let your worries or troubles wipe the smile away. So yes, VainPout always bakes with a smile on her face, no matter how hard the day is!" she said.

Customers are requested to make a 50% deposit and full payment before collection of their bakes initially, but the rules may be relaxed for repeat customers. Good customers may even get a little more to sample - always with a smile, Reeina says.
