My Very Own Brand for My Very Own Brownie

2003, I baked my very first brownie and it all started just for fun...I remember it was a Sunday morning, thought of making chocolate mud cake but end up baking brownies...
As usual, on Sunday my sibling would come over for makan-makan. When my sister arrived, I asked her to taste my brownies[my very first attempt]...she smiled and said...it's so sedap [it's so yummy]. The week after that, she requested for a tray of brownies...and she suggested that i should start selling it. In 2003, butter and chocolates were cheaper so i started selling it at RM10.00 per pack and only RM40 per tray. But then later the prices for the ingredients increased and i can no longer sell it at RM10.00 per pack.
So i stopped selling it and just forget about the whole thing until recently, my other half  and my sister encouraged me to start selling it again but this time at a higher price of RM16. Last Ramadan just a week before the Eid, I posted on my Facebook if anyone like to order my brownies...it caught me by surprise the response I'd received  and until today I still receive  repeat orders and new orders[by word of mouth] daily. Just last week i helped a group of people from Abu Dhabi who came to Malaysia for recruitment...on the last day, I let them taste my brownies. Eissa the head of HR said "It's the best brownies I ever tasted and i am really interested to franchise it at Abu Dhabi. I thought he was just kidding..and just before he left, he gave me his card and asked me to contact him to discuss on the franchising of my brownies. So today, my other half and i got our own brand and our own sticker for our brownies ...and feeling so very proud of it..Thank you Allah and all those who have given me full trust and support. Below is the sticker that means a lot to me...

 With Allah with me, InsyaAllah things will be ok....
