READ: Twelve Cupcakes fined S$119,500 for underpaying foreign employees A tip-off about the new owners' underpaying practices led to the discovery of Teo's offences. The offences were uncovered two years after Teo ceased her directorship, when the company was sold off. Teo failed to prevent the company from underpaying the workers, and did not take any steps to ensure that they received their fixed monthly salaries.

However, the company contravened the Employment of Foreign Manpower (Work Passes) Regulations 2012 by paying less than the fixed monthly salaries due to seven employees. Sometime in 2012, Teo and Ong decided to employ foreign workers to expand the business and agreed on the salary range for the workers. They hired foreigners to fill positions for a pastry chef, sales executives and customer service executives. The court heard that Teo was one of the main decision makers in the company, controlling the company's expenses and in charge of the employees' salaries, as both of them were signatories to the company's account.
They divorced in 2016 and sold the company a few months later to India-based Dhunseri Group, which grew the brand to 35 outlets in Singapore today. Teo set up the cupcake business in 2011 with former radio DJ Ong, whom she married in 2007.
