Hello to you and the new peeps here~ If you're new to this space, I'd love to welcome you and take this opportunity at the start of a new year to share a little more about who we are and our purpose here.
I hope to be short and sweet with this, so read on for more!
1. I started this space many years back (9 years and counting), as a way to challenge myself in the arena of vegan baking. Back then, vegan options were scarce and I thought, why not try challenging myself to something that many felt were not achievable? At the same time, I wanted to debunk the myths that vegan bakes were yucky and horrible, and I wanted my bakes to change mindsets and perspectives of others with simple, classic, yet timeless treats.
I then named us 'teeny weeny treats' initially, as I wanted to serve bite-sized treats where you could nom on easily anytime of the day!
2. As vegan options were scarce back then, our bakes gained the attention of many in the vegan community. Gradually, as more grew interested in our bakes and requested for other treats, the menu range naturally expanded. I then started exploring many more variations, with the intention of sharing homely, unsophisticated treats that bring you nostalgia.
3. Fast forward many years and through ups and downs, I've since renamed us to 'TWT plantedbyhei' which means 'Teeny Weeny Treats, planted by grace' as a reminder to myself that by grace, this space was planted and will continue to stand strong to serve plant-based treats. Today, I've explored a ton more from where we'd started. Be it cakes and muffins, cookies and brownies, mochi, tarts and cheezecakes, the list goes on. I'm still on this journey of exploring, creating and sharing bakes from my humble abode and tiny hands, and I thank you for joining me on this journey.
