Our new family... *grins*

Alhamdulillah, FINALLY, our wedding favors blog is ready for view.
So sorry for the late update!
I had to go through quite alot just to take the pictures of my samples.
First, it rained on wednesday, so no photo session is possible as the pictures will turn out blurry.
Second, when I have finally got the chance to take the pictures, the twins(my naughty little nephews) were around trying to touch and see the cupcakes (they were actually waiting for me to give them the cupcakes).
Well, one of them definitely did ruin which caused one of the roses became abit cacat. LOL
Lastly, when I have upload the pictures to the pc, I had to carefully choose and edit them as some was blur (must be the time when I tried to stop them from touching or coming near the cupcakes) and I found some of the pictures with either their hands/fingers/feet or even heads somewhere! LOL
Hence, I had to crop most of the pictures here and there.
But I had fun ofcourse, though the twins can be really tiring! (Mind you, they are only 2!!!!) *wink*
In that blog, we offer all sorts of packagings for wedding/engagement.
From hantaran to doorgift to our economy pack for those in budget.
Prices are all there with the codes and all.
So, please visit our new family blog:

Newsletter Part 1

Hello everyone!!!!
Okay, am dropping by to shout out some good news to everyone before my hectic schedule starts on Sunday!! (Oh, it's getting on me already ok ;) )

First of all, I've posted up July's Available Dates here.
Please do check out on them if you want to place your order.

Second of all, order via online is finally AVAILABLE!!!
To place your order, please click here and just fill in the form provided.
I've tried my best to keep it as simple as possible, so hopefully, it'll work out this time! *winks*
And last but not least, we are still accepting orders via sms, am pretty sure that some of you thinks that sms is the best way to place your order.
Again, either way is fine, as long as you keep your order in the right form required.

Please note that:
For orders submitted by Friday night(26th June 2009), your orders will be replied by Sunday.
For orders submitted after the 26th of June, your orders will be replied by 8th of July, once I've settled myself and have enough rest in Malacca.


So please do not repeat your order nor keep on texting me before 8th of July if you do not receive any reply as I'll be really REALLY BUSY from 28th of June onwards.
Tolong jangan marah for the late-ness, sebab shalia memang tak cukup tangan nak melayan everyone and reply emails/smses as the big order is really and truly big and it's our first time to handle such amount of orders. :)
Really hope that you lovely lots will understand us.


Anyways, Thank you everyone and please pray that the production of the 12,000 orders will run smoothly and on time... Amin...

Au revoir!

Hello everyone!
So so sorry for the long silence and no updates at all...
Anyways, i have a few announcements to make before i leave for my holiday tomorrow! ;)

For those who haven't been to my Available Dates' link, I've informed on my planning for this month.
I will be off to Sabah in less than 30hours from now for my dearest-beloved-bestfriend's wedding this weekend!! and also my REAL honeymoon with hubby... *grins*
In just a few hours, my bestfriend will be wife to my classmate (OUR classmate)- Mr.Shuhairi :)
So sad that I couldn't be there on her BIG day.. :((
But fret not, shall be there on time for her reception on Saturday. *excited!*
I'll be back from Sabah on the 9th of June, therefore, no smses/orders will be entertained during this time of period.
Really sorry, but i really really REALLY need the break.
Once I'm back from Sabah, will head to my home in PJ and then to Malacca till 14th of June.
All orders/smses will be replied once I'm in Malacca yeah?
Please be patient and understand how hectic my schedule have been for the past few months.

Orders via email will be available only in July.
Will inform more on this later in early July.
My inbox is full of promos by other Online Boutiques and spams, therefore it's really hard for me to check on the emails.
Will try another method or find a solution to this soon as I'm pretty sure that it's easier that way yeah??
So sorry...

On my Contest, it's pretty sad that I've only one participant on the list.
Her picture's really cute and my hands are itchy to put them here but unfortunately, it's not time yet *sigh*
But guess what??
Instead of ending the photo contest on the 18th of July, we'll extend the date till 26th of June 2009!!
Therefore, whoever that placed their orders till 26th of June is entitled to participate in this competition.

And last but not least, we'll be CLOSED from 27th of June until further notice as we'll be busy with our first BIG production of 12,000pcs orders!!!
Oh, a BIG Thank You to Miss Diana (Future Mrs.Zul ;)) and Family for their trust on us with this tremendous big order.
And this production will take afew days until the 3rd of July where we'll be sending it off straight to Kulai KLUANG (my bad), Johor.
We're thrilled ofcourse and starting to panic as it is a BIG order and we have no experience in this.
But Alhamdulillah, we've prepared ALOT of staffs for this production (mostly of family and friends- THANK YOU!!!!) and InsyaAllah, everything will be fine...InsyaAllah... :))
Since this production will take nearly a week for us to prepare and to deliver them all the way to the location, am pretty sure that we'll be worn out once everything is done- Especially my beloved MOM, and so, I have decided that we will take another 1 or 2 weeks of break.
We're really sorry if we're disappointing you lovely lot out there, but I think that it's for the best as I do not think that we will be able to perform to our task (i.e; the designs won't be as neat or as nice as it should be) as we will be really tired and all.
Therefore, really really REALLY appreciate if you lot understand us.
When will we be back for production is yet to be confirmed.
Perhaps once I'm back from Kulai KLUANG (my bad again! :( ) :)

Anyhow, please allow me to have my honeymoon in peace *teehee* and pray for our safety. Amin..
I shall miss all of my loyal favorite customers!! (you lot know who you are :D)

Au Revoir everyone!!
And Thank You!!!
*I feel blessed*

Purchase Shalia's Treats cupcakes between 18th of May until 18th of July 2009.

Here's the sample that I manage to do(it's a bit funny, so please don't laugh.nyehhnyehh) :


a picture of me and my box of cupcakes




a picture of 1 of my theme




a picture of my other theme/idea
lol. i know, it's hideous, but that's what i manage in the short time, with my brother placing the cupcakes on my face(notice that the eye lash is terbalik?-men.lol) and taking the picture. :)


It took me a great deal to actually take these pictures ok.
It's not as easy as it looks, but I did have fun with the maids and my mom watching and laughing as they saw me went under the trees, kneeling at the lawn and lying on the back patio just to take these pictures.
It didn't turn out that good(as desired), and I'm sure all of you can come out with something better! :)


So, think out of the box and have fun!
Will post the contest form and the rules & regulations next!
