I am amazed with the innovations made by Sprinkles is one notable cake shop Beverly hills on Santa Monica Boulevard. usually comes out of atm machines is the money but this machine can take out cup cakes, It’s amazing, right? Reportedly this is my favorite cake shop people there. Cup cakes that are out of this machine was fresh from the oven.
The idea of making ATM cup cakes from the pastry shop owner Candace Nelson is based on the article I read, this ATM can accommodate 600 cupcakes and like an ATM for cash, ATM cupcakes also operate for 24 hours. Visitors prefer to buy via ATM machine compared to his shop. Visitors who want to buy the cup cakes via ATM machine using ATM card just in case ATM. cup cakes are also on Indonesia, hmmmm certainly many who would like to try it out. I hope the sons of the people in any nation is inspired by ATM cupcakes so that could make new innovations that can bring the nation name internationally.For those who want to get more complete information can visit the link listed above. Thank You ^_^

Book recommendation : “ Berjalan Menembus batas”



For those of you who are currently beset by fear, a crisis of confidence and other limitations which prevents you to reach for a dream, don't let it become a barrier. I am a person who is easy to despair and always complaining. I always fear-ridden to thinking ahead, I am easy to despair and afraid to try something new, but after I read this book, many of the stories that became my inspiration to not give up, in the book there is a quote from the Arab adage “ Man jadda wajada” who meant it would have succeeded. I was the first child of four brothers, I am always excited and is claimed to be responsible for what I do, because I will be an example to my younger brother 4. Sometimes the economic problems afflicting our family, for it to me as the eldest son should embody the wishes of both parents in reaching goals, but it is not as easy as that.
After reading this book I am sure any problems lurking in the reach for a dream can certainly overcome by conscientious and sincere prayer, and always patient. Many of the stories are more pathetic as outlined, but the figures outlined this accomplishes their dreams in a different way but the staying in Bali which is good. They should be made an example of wishful thinking they achieved good material or physical Limitations may make someone become hopeless, but this book proves that the theory is not true. This book could be one alternative to get us excited about reaching for a dream. So, we must keep spirit!!^_^
