Muffin Monster

Meet a mum who’s passionate about muffins!

hh250809-622270_15704052Ever wondered what it’d be like to quit your job and start a home-based business so that you could focus more on the family? Well, Ida Maslina has done just that! The enterprising mother of two describes herself as a “home-based entrepreneur mum who bakes and sells muffins and cupcakes online”. At first, she baked muffins for family members, but then she started promoting her goods through blogging, which was a suggestion made by her sister.


The 29-year old started her muffin business two years ago, after quitting her job as a network engineer, which required her to spend most of her time in the field. Although she loved the job, the arrival of her first son changed her perspective in life. She figured, with a home-based online business, she can spend more time with her family at home, and earn a living too!

She admits that in the beginning, she was not very confident in marketing over the Internet, so the encouraging response she has received was not expected at all! Currently, her Muffins Monster website already has a few ardent followers, who have become her regular customers. From just one flavour - choc chip muffin, she now has about 24 different flavours, which she develops from time to time in response to customer requests, and for her own research and development.

Due to the current trend, she also makes cupcakes, but her cupcakes are special, because their base is made of muffin, not cake. This means her customers always get that wonderfully fluffy and moist muffin texture that we all know and love. Ida’s muffins come in 3 main types: all-time favourite muffin, exclusive jumbo muffin and gourmet muffin. Her muffins and cupcakes are suitable for all occasions, from weddings to parties, and Hari Raya to corporate or personal gifts.
