Pursuant to the terms of the transaction the Cuddlecake Brand shall be licensed by BFE to SCI for utilization in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia for a five-year period.

All revenue earned by BFE from this transaction shall be donated by BFE to West Highland Terrier rescue societies throughout the world as selected by the Chief Executive Officer of BFE, Bobby Fong Jr.
Cuddlecakes, a one-year-old Singaporean West Highland Terrier owned by Bobby Fong Jr. was the winner of the inaugural Singapore Westie of the Year contest held weeks ago in Singapore.
Bobby Fong Jr. expressed his enthusiasm for the transaction: “We are excited to have concluded this transaction with SCI to promote the dynamic market opportunities presented by the Cuddlecakes’ brand. As a result of the Singapore Westie of the Year contest Cuddlecakes has developed an enormous following in Southeast Asia which is rife for exploitation. All net revenue deriving to BFE shall be donated to West Highland Terrier rescue societies throughout the world.”
Cuddlecakes is currently onboard the Eastern & Oriental Express somewhere in the Malaysian jungle.
To celebrate the transaction some 5,000 Cuddlecake stuffed animals were distributed free of charge to fans at last night’s Southeast Asia Baseball Consortium’s baseball game held in Jakarta between the Jakarta Rice Eaters and the Singapore Chickenlittles sparking a standing ovation when the image of Cuddlecakes was displayed on the stadium’s jumbotron.
