⚠️ CUTENESS UP AHEAD⚠️

We would like to introduce to you the newest member on our team😀🫱🏽🫲🏼

He does however prefer to eat than to make the cookies himself, so we're not quite sure how long he might last with us 🤔 but we wish him a prosperous and positive future with us and pray for his growth and health, always...🤲🏽🙏🏽

We're still here!
We're ready for your orders!
We still got you!!

Weird thing about me, I will complain that I never get spoiled and the moment my husband has a little money he be like "what would you like?" And I'd be like "Noooo man, next payday is still far away, we need to survive, let's just make something"

So last week in an attempt to spoil me, he made these Melting Moments for me, my absolute favourite cookies of all time, mind you, this was the second batch, by the time he came back with the chocolate, the kids and I had finished the first batch 😬 they were that good.... Alhamdulilah.

Funny thing, I was never ever into backing cakes and biscuits, I felt it was too technical for me, since my husband wanted to learn and me just in the background reading out instructions he has been doing an amazing job. My first student is winning in this kitchen and taking things to newer heights...

From my personal page, people wanna see more of these cookies being sold... What do y'all say??

About two weeks ago we came across a Master Chef Reel, I'm not sure which season or country it was from and also my main crush - Gordon didn't feature so I only listened to what was made... and this chef made a Carrot Pumpkin Cake and immediately said "I think that could work and I want to try it" last week we were set out to make one carrot loaf right and there was still enough carrots for another cake, I also had Pumpkin leftover from the quiche I made for an order and I thought "let's try" not knowing the full recipe but kind of having an idea on what to do, we set out to make it, we only did the "frosting" the following evening but let me tell you.. it was the best spiced cake I have ever had in my life... now I'm not exactly a fan of Carrot Cake, I don't believe vegetables and spices should be in a cake, but I'm a sweet tooth and if the cake is infront of me, I'm definitely going to have it... this is officially my favorite cake, apart from the frosting flopping - it was a bit runny.. everything else came together in a burst of flavor and it was moist and it was soft and it just blended well and, and, and... I think my crush would have enjoyed it...🫣

The weekend had us in a Chokehold... I forgot what it was like coming home, attending to family and then getting busy on orders... Saturday morning had us out of bed by 7am, we hit the stores and then we started working on this order, every little thing was made from scratch, we made our own pastry, we did the fillings, heck even the Samoosas Leaves was freshly made, none of the stores had, I called my sister and an hour later she had some delivered for me...literally freshly made, it was still warm upon arrival...

Anything fresher is still running around on a far.🫣 by 8pm all savouries was done and packed, then I was ready to start the preparation for the baking and I couldn't get up again... you know, C-section mom's have it hard this time of year...😩 nonetheless the alarm got set, I got some rest and by 5h30am Sunday morning my little kitchen was smelling like a bakery🥹 we tried new flavors to... our Lemon Loaf got a bit of Rasberry in it and the leftover Orange Loaf batter, we added some Choc chips to it, took some to work and my colleague cleaned out the container - it was definitely a hit.

Nonetheless after this order went out, we cleaned up and savouries was our Sunday Lunch with our leftover baked goods for dessert...

Oh! Oh! Oh! This order was for sampling purpose, for a new coffee shop that may open very soon... so now we're patiently waiting for our duas to be answered 🤲🏼 Allah knows best...

Anyways, we thankful for the opportunity whether we win this one or not.. we're still moving...

Just figured out why it's taking Sakeenah's Catering and Events such a long time to reach success, I won't say we're not successful, we've seen and catered to Name Givings, Birthday Parties, Engagements, Corporate Events, Funerals and Weddings - I consider that, our success. We've had many highs and some lows, we've fallen down and got back up many a times but it's not just that, it's wanting to spend time with our kids without always needing to be busy because we desperately need the additional income, so they're with us on our supply runs, our daughter gets involved in the Kitchen, she's at the age where everything other than YouTube is boring, so to get her away from the screens we have her get her hands dirty and we watch how she goes from "I'm bored 😴 " to "so what can I do next?😁" And we watch our son fill the floor and himself with flour and lastly the leftovers of an order becomes grounds for practicing and working on ways to improve... we simply just enjoy what we do and forget we need the extra bucks...🫣

Anyways... my husband made this very moist chocolate cake last night, I was lights out because I had been busy all day on an order that's going out today. I had a piece earlier, yes, I'm weird... and, and... just and... that's it... I was left speechless....

Oh! Oh! Oh! One last thing...

And today we did a little something for my former in-laws...
Sakeenah's Catering and Events was born out of District Six and the main driving force behind it was my former in-laws, during my struggles with their son, I found comfort in cooking, they noticed it, so they encouraged me to take my cooking to the streets... and here we are almost 10 years later, my relationship with their son never worked out but my relationship with them got better, they're very involved grandparents, heck even my son is considered one of them, we developed "a blended family" we have our moments of issues, like any other family but they're definitely my biggest support system alhamdulilah... so today they ordered our Choc Chip and Banana Loaf and Carrot Loaf, hubby is getting better at piping alhamdulilah...

Bonus about this order, is that today is Eid and we didn't have much for ourselves but we managed to get something sweet out of the deal too, so of course the leftover batter covered for us a sweet treat too.. hehe... alhamdulilah

Shukran for the support, we absolutely appreciate it. We hope you enjoy it with your afternoon TEA 😅

Yesterday I did I quick favor for someone, I didn't really want to because (1) drama started and we were the feature and (2) it wasn't very profitable for me at all. My colleague wanted 10 Pizzas, so I made it, I chose not to let my emotions get in the way and I made it with a smile, regardless of the drama tagged to it because thats just who I am, I show up...Allah knows best....

Also, I was really exhausted, my son wasn't well and it's been a week of no sleep so I barely took pictures...

We thank you for your order and we hope that you'll enjoy it at your Little Movie Night.

When my Brother-in-Law said he wrote a review, I held my breath in anticipation, telling hubby "this can go either way... this is The Faz giving a review"🫣 he don't mind telling someone something ain't tasting funky for him and then he said this and I blew a huge sigh of relief and got in my feels a bit...

Once again, someone placed an order created a hype in my presence and in my absence said "I can do it better" wooooosah... why are people like this? Why can't you just say nothing... if you're able to do something better than me, by all means, Rizq is for everyone, I may even support you but don't go around blocking someone else's blessings and making sure everyone hears you... Allah knows best..

We kap aan... we still have openings for this weekend Insha'allah.

So word got around the office and second to a company I worked at years ago, the current one created a whole hype... alhamdulilah... I arrived late for work today and I kid you not, they couldn't wait to dig into my little Picnic basket... we once again finished off 8 Loaves compromising of Carrot, Orange and Lemon Loaves. Now let me tell you, I've been skeptical about the Lemon, the first time I made it (last week) it was too Lemony...😬 I wasn't a fan but it seems like it's the office favorite, one even told me, it's better than last weeks... alhamdulilah

Thank you Colleagues for your amazing support.
