On this faithful day, on 29th Ramadan i baked cupcakes for my clients, as some were going to travel with it and i said I'll make sure to give everyone their orders whether we're going to fast 30 or not...
I started with baking vanilla cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes, they all came out perfect, then i went ahead to arrange my red velvet cupcakes inside the oven as it was still on, and i use gas to bake anything bakable...
Though I've been baking for years, till date i still write out my recipes on paper and follow it to avoid stories that touch the heart and soul..
The gas was refilled before i started using it, as i closed the oven door and set my timer i went to help my assistant with the pies as they were going in next. After some minutes i went to check the cupcakes through the transparent oven doors and they were coming out nice, went back to finish up and after the timer was up i went to check again..
I opened the door, Lo and behold, the cupcakes all sank, the fire was off and gas was leaking, i don't know how it went off, maybe because wind was blowing sbda anyi iska ranan ba laifi..and na riga fa na gama everything i said i was not going to bake another batch of cupcakes again and i was out of stock of most ingredients...
Had to rush to the nearby shop to get some ingredients and started afresh because we cannot compromise on quality honestly..
May Allah continue to put Baraka in our businesses, Amin..
