Baguio City fevah is on!!!

 

     Baguio is ❤️... don't yah agree?  Capping off this year with a good leisurely travel up north... my fave part of the Philippines... We had a blast! Blogging for it real soon.. hopefully.

Sickness Sucks! being in the ER sucks!

      Up to this date... a month in counting I've been confined with my allergies and I even gave some to my partner... Again and again and again we visited The Hospital every 2 months since July... and we're back to the ER so to speak... the worst part is we've been here since we don't know when... the ER is packed... so no vacancies at all, with no room for arguments, she was placed in the Isolation room... and I did not intend to take a pic..dunno why... the place is cozy but I honestly don't feel like being here...  

     I wanna go home and I want her to feel good now... If not being good at least she may feel ok... at least...

Cramming!!!

    Who says we cannot make a cake in 2 1/2 hours? hehe... I had a six inch red velvet cake with 1 dozen of red velvet cupcakes order from a long lost friend who's now currently based in Denmark. I knew it was scheduled to be delivered August 30th but for some reason I really got lost track of time. And so we went on with the day, in fact we had such a ginormous schedule yesterday! Damnit! Doctors appointment for dad and some neuro test for him too... we had our lunch  renewing the car's registration at LTO and got stuck for almost 3 hours because of their down system. Anyways, moving forward, when we were about to have our late lunch.... friend from Denmark texted asking me to send her the pic of the cake... I answered immediately.... "bukas ko pa gagawin" then she texted back and said "tonigh ang party" And I was like "weh" 😊 I started checking for the calendar and because to be honest... we knew all along it'll be for Saturday!!!!!! The heck! I started sipping like huge amount of sip of my very large Bonchon Iced tea... I almost choke! Its almost 4pm and the dinner will start at 7.... and we're still on the road 😞 damnDAMN! With orders cancelled, we headed off to go home.... with trafficc jam as our obstacle and fights in between.... I almost fainted!!! Once parked, I jumped off and ran.... hit the kitchen and preheated the oven! And alas I have no table sugar! Eeeeeer! really Eeeer! good thing this sugar can be bought at a nearby store..... 5pm the cake's hitting the oven! 5:30pm it was the cupcakes turn! woah! it felt like we're contending in Cupcake Wars with limited time to spare.... Hello... Im no PRO yet... I know that! but really at 6:30pm we're finally frosting and decorating! Superb! I was so happy and satisfied with the simple work done!!! 

   Here's our finish product....

   

       Our friend's BFF red velvet cake!

   

WOFEX... World Food Expo 2013

     Exhausted from work? Well that did not stop me from attending Wofex on its last day... After my 8 hour shift we directly went right away at SMX Convention not knowing that doors would still be open for the public by 10AM. Whew! Before heading off for breakfast we bumped with a new found friend... a lady whose lovely talks left us hungry (hihi) for a while. It was Robi Domingo's mom that kept us well seated while we waited for 2 hours... Anyways, it was one such talk indeed! She's such a doll! At 10:15am we almost forgot our purpose... haha! We then decided to register.... finally! 

  

Taking Orders Sooohhhh Soon

My very first Fondant Cake...

     On this day, I inclined myself with a whole new endevour in cake making... A challenge I thought I would never pull up... 

My Ube Cake with Macapuno filling and Ube-Macapuno Cupcakes on the side!

   

      With 2 months preparation....... I finally made it! It was not that tedious after all. After the Caramel Cake I did last month I thought I am now ready to do this and so I did it this morning...... After my 2 week procrastination, in the middle of my work last Thursday..... I suddenly wanted to make the Ube cake at that very point...... but then again I was still in the middle of my shift and I knew I can't make it on a Friday as I still have my shift later that night! And so I set the date..... it'll be on Sunday! but I was so having one slouchy day! It was raining cats and dogs..... I decided to just not do it! but this morning I said.... I have to do it or else! And this is it! Thanks to my thorough research...... I finally come up with this...... I'm in bliss! I did not intend to write about it at this very moment as I just did my Inferno-Dan Brown moment earlier today but I was on this state that I was really so happy that I was able to create something that is not so much of my liking harhar! but I think it'll be one of my creations that I will dearly enjoy! 

     So for now..... be enticed! feast your eyes.... especially for those who love Purple Yam so much!

Dante's Inferno by Dan Brown

     Done reading the book....... I mean the eBook V purchased for me online... it was a surprise purchase after my longing to read the book and after all the so called controversies that lies having placed Manila Philippines in the brink of losing its tourism because of the negativity brought by the story.... with that note I was more inclined to read it all the more....... 

Happy Mother's Day!

I dunno! it was not my intention but whatever....... think I'll just have to go with the flow... 😉 so to all the greatest! Happy mom's day!
