At the end of September, at No. 172 Zhongjinqiao Road, Chengqiao Town, a creative dessert shop called "TRAVEL Palm" opened in a low-key manner, with a simple and fresh store design and a tempting and delicious sliced cake, which brought a touch of "sweet words" to this section, and this dessert shop is also the "dream" realized by a post-90s girl in Chongming.
The owner of this dessert shop is named Shi Yiting, a Chongming girl born in 1994. Before returning to Chongming to start a business, she did interior design for 6 years, had a stable income, and a rising career space.
But because of the demands of her job, she often has to deal with difficult clients and their strange ideas. "I can't be completely smooth, this job makes me feel deeply stressed, and I have always wanted to live a simple, free life." Shi Yiting said.
Shi Yiting introduced that she loves sweets and also likes to make her own hands, and when she was a student, it was her dream to open a dessert shop. "After many years, my dream has not changed." After graduation, because of her personal real economic situation, she chose to get employed first and buried her dream in her heart for the time being.
But if there is a dream in the heart, there will be a concern. During this time, Shi Yiting did not stop the pace of "chasing dreams", and in the various dessert houses in the city, there was often a figure of her taste. She observed the rules of various shop operations, tasted the different tastes of various pastries, and systematically learned the art of cake mounting, and whenever her relatives and friends celebrated a festival, she would personally go out to make a unique cake.
Last year, because of the epidemic, Shi Yiting thought a lot, and she decided that she could not wait any longer and take a step to realize her dream. She resigned, very determined, in the face of the retention of her leading colleagues, she almost did not even turn her head. After resigning, she did not open a shop at the first time, but applied for a job in a dessert shop, during which time she humbly sought advice and learned more about the methods and concepts of store operation and the skills of dessert making.
After the Spring Festival this year, she began to prepare her own store, the store is her own home, in terms of costs naturally saved a lot, so that she has more conditions to improve the quality of products. From registration and certification, shop decoration, to equipment procurement, along the way, there are many difficulties, but for her, on the way to her dream, no matter how many thorns, can turn into sweetness.
On September 24 this year, Shi Yiting's "TRAVEL Palm" was officially opened, "TRAVEL" means travel, "Palm" is the harmonic sound of "travel", for Shi Yiting, this dessert shop is also like a gift in her life journey. After the opening of "TRAVEL Palm", after the relatives and friends rushed to tell each other, this poetic small space immediately attracted the attention of many surrounding citizens.
Seeing that her store has been recognized by so many people, Shi Yiting feels very happy. She takes each dessert seriously, like a big smile on her face, and she hopes to share this happiness with more people through small delicacies. "I'm not just going to be a cake shop, I'm here and I can get a small, comfortable social space." Shi Yiting also has her own ideas for the planning of the store in the future.
Now in the "TRAVEL Palm", not only has a variety of creative cut cakes, every festival, Shi Yiting will also launch a "limited model", she also purchased a valuable coffee machine, launched a cake + coffee afternoon tea series, for customers to provide a number of matching packages.
Competence and personality are shi Yiting's first impression, and if you touch her deeper, you can understand her independence and freedom. Back in the year of Chongming, she enjoyed freedom, but she did not stop walking. In addition to working in the dessert shop, she also likes to make her own food, and each meal is rich and beautiful, just like she treats work and life, with a full sense of ceremony.
"Every day I think about how to eat better." Shi Yiting's circle of friends wrote that a girl who loves to laugh, eat, and love life makes desserts, do you yearn for?
