And that's a wrap for today's orders! 🥖🍫

✨ SOLD TODAY! ✨
🍫 2 DOZEN Chocobutternut Munchkins
🤎 2 DOZEN Milky Cheese Rolls
🥖 1 DOZEN Spanish Bread
💜 1 DOZEN Ube Cheese Pandesal

That's 6 DOZEN homemade goodies baked with love! 🥹🫶

Pagod? SUPER PAGOD! 😂
Happy? SOBRANG HAPPY! ❤️
But you know what makes all the hard work worth it?

Knowing that our customers genuinely enjoyed what we baked. 🥹

A special thank you to Ate Gem for ordering our Spanish Bread AGAIN! 🤎 Your continued support and trust in our little bakery mean so much to us. Every repeat order reminds us that we're doing something right. ❤️

And here's something that made my heart extra happy today...

One of our customers discovered A Dash of Shai through Facebook Marketplace and decided to give our Chocobutternut Munchkins a try, even though he didn't know us or our little bakery.

He took a chance on us. 🥹

And when he shared that our Chocobutternut Munchkins were chewy and not too sweet — exactly how he likes them, I couldn't help but smile! 🍫🧡

Grabe! Tanggal lahat ng pagod! 🥹❤️

It's moments like these that remind me why I started baking.

We may be a small home bakery, but every batch is made with so much love, patience, and care.
Hindi lang basta may maibenta. We want every customer to feel happy and satisfied with every bite.

Because for us, the best reward isn't just the number of orders we receive. It's knowing that someone enjoyed something we made with our own hands. 🤎

To everyone who ordered today, especially those who trusted us for the very first time, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! 🥹🫶
And to our returning customers, thank you for choosing us again and again.
You make the late nights, the tired hands, and all the hard work worth it.

Six dozen sold. A tired baker. But one very happy and grateful heart. ❤️

Until the next baking day! 🥰

🤎 “ANG MAHAL NAMAN NG BREAD MO!” 🤎

Yes, I've heard it. Some may find our breads and pastries more expensive than grocery stores or other online sellers.

And that's okay. ❤️ Everyone has a budget, and I completely respect that.

But here's something I want you to know about A Dash of Shai. 🥹

Hindi po kami basta gumagawa ng tinapay para lang may maibenta.

Every batch is puno ng pagmamahal, oras, pagod, at malasakit. 🤎

From preparing the ingredients to baking and carefully packing every order, we make sure that the **taste, freshness, softness, and quality** are something our customers will truly enjoy.

There are days when I'm already exhausted from work, but I still head straight to the kitchen to prepare your orders.

And when customers say, “Ang sarap!” “Malambot!” “Uulit kami!”

Tanggal lahat ng pagod. Napapalitan ng saya. 🥹❤️

If you find our prices too high and decide not to order again, that's perfectly okay. No hard feelings.

We don't aim to be the cheapest. We aim to make every order worth it.

Because for us, baking isn't just about business. It's about satisfying cravings, making people happy, and creating little moments worth remembering.

Hindi man kami ang pinakamura, sisikapin naming maging bakery na babalik-balikan ninyo—dahil sa sarap, kalidad, at pagmamahal sa bawat gawa. 🤎

To everyone supporting our little bakery, THANK YOU! 🥹🫶

You're not just supporting a business. You're supporting a mother's dream and a family's story.

We don't just bake to sell. We bake to share happiness, one delicious bite at a time. ❤️

🧡 MISS MO NA BA ANG CHOCOBUTTERNUT NG DUNKIN' DONUTS? 🧡

ME? DEFINITELY!!! 🙋‍♀️🥹🇵🇭

One of the things I miss about the Philippines is Dunkin's famous Chocobutternut! That soft, moist, chocolatey goodness covered in those delicious orange crumbs. Haaaay, just thinking about it makes me crave it even more! 🤤🧡

I even told myself, “Pag-uwi ko ng Pilipinas, isa talaga sa mga unang bibilhin ko ay Chocobutternut ng Dunkin'!” 🇵🇭✈️

But then I thought...

WAIT A MINUTE! 🤔

Why wait until I go back home when I can try making it right here in my own kitchen? 👩‍🍳
And that's exactly what I did!

Multiple trial batches, recipe adjustments, taste tests, and a whole lot of patience later... I finally created my very own version! 🥹🧡

And now, I'm so excited to share it with all of you!

✨ INTRODUCING A DASH OF SHAI'S CHOCOBUTTERNUT MUNCHKINS! ✨

🍫 Rich, chocolatey, soft, and moist inside
🧡 Covered in sweet, crumbly orange butternut goodness
🇵🇭 Inspired by a Filipino favorite we all know and love
🤎 Homemade with love, from my kitchen to yours!

It's not Dunkin', and I'm not claiming it tastes exactly the same. It's my own homemade version, inspired by the Chocobutternut I've been missing so much! 🥰

Because sometimes, living far from home makes you miss the simplest things. And sometimes, those cravings turn into something beautiful.

From a simple craving to multiple kitchen experiments... and now, a new addition to our little bakery's menu! 🥹🫶

To my fellow Filipinos here in Canada, miss n'yo na rin ba ang Chocobutternut? 🇵🇭🇨🇦

Well, you don't have to wait for your next trip to the Philippines to enjoy a little taste of home! 🧡

🤎 THANK YOU, ATE CHE! 🥹🫶

We may not know each other personally, but you trusted A Dash of Shai with your order of Spanish Bread, Ube Cheese Pandesal, and Bibingka. That means so much to me! ❤️

After an 8-hour shift at my part-time job, I went straight to the kitchen to fulfill your order. Pagod man, tuloy pa rin ang baking!

But reading your feedback? Tanggal lahat ng pagod ko! 🥹🤎

Every bread I bake is made with love, and knowing your family enjoyed them makes every effort worth it.

Maraming salamat po, Ate Che, for trusting and supporting my little bakery! ❤️

📦🤎 FROM OUR LITTLE KITCHEN TO BRITISH COLUMBIA! 🇨🇦✨

4 DOZEN BREADS + 1 BROOKIE — BC BOUND! 🚚🥖🍫
And just like that… another sweet milestone for A Dash of Shai! 🥹🤎

Four dozen of our homemade Filipino breads, a delicious assortment of our bread varieties, and one of our chocolatey brookies are making their way to British Columbia!

From mixing and kneading to baking, cooling, and carefully packing every box, each order carries a little piece of our love and passion. ❤️

What started as a small dream inspired by our two boys is slowly reaching beyond our own community. And seeing our homemade goodies travel to another province? That's something truly special to us. 🥹

To our wonderful customer in British Columbia, THANK YOU for trusting A Dash of Shai and choosing our breads and brookie! Your support means more than you know.

One order at a time. One box at a time. One little dream growing bigger. 🤎

✨ OUR FIRST POP-UP — AND WHAT A DAY! 🥹🤎 ✨

We did it! A Dash of Shai officially had our very first pop-up, and our hearts are so full. 🥹🫶

What started as a small idea in our kitchen—baking, experimenting, packing orders, and dreaming about what this little business could become—was suddenly right there in front of us: our own table, our logo, our baked goodies, and people actually stopping by to try what we made. 🤎

Seeing our table filled with Spanish Bread, Milky Cheese Rolls, Ube Cheese Pandesal, Bibingka, Chocolate Lava Crinkles, cookies, cheesecakes and more was already exciting. But seeing people come over, ask about our products, buy from us, come back, and share kind words with us made the day even more special.

And YES… our first pop-up was a SUCCESS! 🎉✨
But success for us wasn’t only about how much we sold.

It was seeing people gathered around our little table.
It was conversations with new customers.
It was smiles after trying our baked goods.
It was friends and family showing up.
It was realizing that this little dream inspired by Dash & Shai is slowly becoming something real. 🥹🤎

To everyone who purchased, stopped by, helped us, shared our business, took a flyer, recommended us, or simply came over to say hello—THANK YOU.

And to our family and friends who showed up and supported us behind the scenes, this day would not have been the same without you. 🫶

There were nerves. There was excitement. There was a LOT of preparation. 😂 And yes, there were probably a few moments of “Are we really doing this?!”

But we did. 🤎

First pop-up: DONE. ✅
First pop-up: SUCCESSFUL. 🎉
And hopefully… the first of many. ✨
This is only the beginning for A Dash of Shai.
Baked with love. Inspired by my boys. Made to be shared. 🤎

From our little kitchen to our community—thank you for giving our small business a place at your table. 🥹🫶

🎄✨ AMOY PASKO SA PILIPINAS… EVEN HERE IN CANADA! 🇵🇭🇨🇦 ✨🎄

There are certain smells and flavors that instantly take you home. 🥹❤️

Kahit nasa Canada tayo, one familiar aroma can suddenly bring back memories of Christmas in the Philippines—the cool December mornings, Simbang Gabi, Christmas lights and parol everywhere, family gatherings, and of course… the Filipino treats we always look forward to during the holidays. 🇵🇭🎄

And something very special has been baking in the A Dash of Shai kitchen. 👀🤎

I’m keeping it blurred for now because I don’t want to spoil the surprise! 🤭 But here’s a little clue…

🎄 It’s a beloved Filipino Christmas classic.
🤎 It’s warm, comforting, and nostalgic.
🇵🇭 And one bite might just make you feel like you’re back home in the Philippines.

But for my fellow Filipinos… I have a feeling you already know what this is. 😍

Can you guess? Drop your answer in the comments! 👇

This is only the beginning because I’m bringing more Filipino favorites to A Dash of Shai—little tastes of home, made right here in Canada. 🥹🇵🇭🇨🇦

COMING SOON. ❤️
