| Why I make a special post on Halal definition? I have received two questions: ."...But i want to know, this cupcakes 'halal' for muslim or not? who made the cupcakes? is a muslim or not?" Simple answer: Whether this cupcakes are halal or not, I don't know. If I am halal or not, also I don't know..(lol) I need to make a post/clarification here so that I won't be asked this question again and again. Elaborated answer: I spent some time researching what the word HALAL means. I found out that it's more on the food and some informations I gathered said that the act ( drinking alcohol) of somebody is also means halal or non halal. I can't find any information where Halal is meant to describe a person's religion or being. Can somebody being Halal? If I am not a muslim, am I not Halal? I am confused... 1. Just to clarify here that all the cakes ingredients is halal ( Halal to my understanding ) as I used the same ingredient bought from all the baking stuff shops in KK. What is not halal about flour, eggs, butter and sugar? Weather they are halal or not ( they are selling them) you have to ask the baking stuff shop... (lol) Note: Fruit cake I use alcohol (non halal) for but it can be replaced with orange juice if requested. 2. Whether I am halal or not I am not sure but I am a NON MUSLIM. so may be I am not halal eh.. To all muslim who are interested with my cakes and cuppies, thank you very much!!! I appreciate your concern and I respect that but I have to advise here that it's your choice to order or not but if you are sceptical or concern, I won't advise you to order from me. I do have many muslim friends (even my best friend is a muslim) and they all eat my cupcakes and cakes. In fact I make sure I told them I made them (or my sister or brother if they are the one) who baked the cuppies. I think it's up to you to decide. I saw many muslim bought cakes from bakery and hotels and I am sure some bakers in those bakery and hotels are not all muslim ( non halal) people. Again.. if you are too concern..I think better don't take the risk..there are so many better cakes shop around KK. But thank you again for your interest. |
