A Wedding and A Cake

It was an Old Hollywood Glam inspired cake derived from a photo given to us by the couple. At the wedding, the entourage were clad in vibrant blue dresses and quaint headdresses. Reminded me a little of the Royal Wedding. There were a few invited Filipino artists, because the couple works at one of the TV Networks in the country. Great singers, nice video presentations, good food, and an open bar. It was indeed a charming ceremony. 

Birthday Cakes

Made this Rainbow Cake for my boss' grandaughter, Justine's 7th birthday, who is by the way too cute and charming.

I remember doing this on the day of my birthday. Such the eager beaver that I was, I actually gave myself stress on my own birthday. It was fun though, and I'm happy it turned out well, and I was given great comments about it.

Since it was my birthday too, and my parents were actually throwing a small party for me at home, it just seemed logical that I get a cake too, right. So I made myself a cake, lame, right? Well I sort of helped in making the cake, as my boyfriend claims he's the one who did it, when in fact, he just put the icing on the cake. Well, I got to give credit to him.

Chocolate Almond Torte

Pinoys at Heart.

Ah, Weddings! Always a delight! Plus the fact that I am part of the entourage is twice as exciting.

Notwithstanding the fact that behind this very lovely wedding lies an extremely stressful 6 months, more so an exhausting Christmas and New Years, it always is worth it.

A 3 tier cake, 3 days in the making. Where, one day was totally allotted for baking all the cakes to make sure it has completely cooled, and the rest for decorating the cake. The "rest" pertains to the stolen free time that I get, when I'm actually not being either a tour guide, a personal aid, driver, at work, or sleeping. I'm not complaining though. I found myself working on the cake at 3 in the morning, beause that was the only time that I get to work by myself, quiet, relax, not distracted by anybody. 

The wedding was lovely. Few guests, mostly family members since the couple have lived in the States with their 2 children for so long. It was indeed vacation worth remembering, for the couple and for every one else.
