Christmas Themed Cupcakes!

My good old buddy, Kristine, and her bf went here in the metro last weekend to enjoy the short holiday break. I decided to make some of these so they can get a taste of my baked cuppies!





These are Christmas themed Peanut Butter Cupcakes topped with melted bittersweet chocolate and covered with blue nonpareils. You might be thinking that I should have used white, red, or green to go with the theme. But since most of the Christmas decors we see around are not the usual colors, I thought maybe I could also try blue for a change.=)


You should try this recipe!!! I've tested other peanut butter cupcake recipes but this one so far is the best. I actually immediately threw away the other peanut butter cupcake recipes I had after I tasted the outcome of this one=)) lol.


What I love about the taste is that it has the right amount of sweetness, you can really taste the peanut butter, and it has that perfect dense and moisture. =)


I'm scheduled to bake 7 dozen plus four more pieces of Christmas themed mini cakes next week. Need to prepare myself again for another sleepless night!




Finally reunited with my friend after 6 or so long years!



Advance Merry Christmas everyone!

Pocoyo Themed 1st Birthday Party at Shakey's Tomas Morato


Here's one of our catered events last October 10, 2009 held at Shakey's Tomas Morato. Among all the Shakey's branches we've catered to, this so far has the biggest party area.

Our client ordered for a customized Platinum Package with imported Callebaut belgian chocolate flowing on two chocolate fountains. She also got 100 pcs of our Gourmet Mini Donuts which I setup on a three layer tower with ribbons and labels following the birthday party's Pocoyo Theme. So happy mommy Mary and all their guests enjoyed and loved the dessert treats!

You can easily compare the difference between a local chocolate from an imported chocolate if once you get a taste of both. I'm sure my client can easily agree with this. Personally, i think the imported Callebaut Milk Chocolate tasted so much like Hershey's Milk Chocolate bar and the imported Callebaut Dark Chocolate can be comparable to Tobleron's Dark Chocolate bar. So yummy!
Their dippers by the way included marshmallows, chocostick wafer, breadstick, vanilla wafer,churros,mini donuts,banana, apple,melon, kiwi,Mini Cupcakes in Chocolate and Cheese flavors, Imported Pretzels,

and 100pcs of Gourmet Mini Donuts.=)

Bon Appetit!=)

Incredibles Themed 1st Birthday at Shakey's Makati


Here's our first Incredibles themed 1st birthday held at Shakey's Makati. It's already our second time to cater an event at Shakey's Makati. The first one though was taken cared of by my dad since on that day I and my sweetie were about to land the country from our trip at Singapore (or should I say my Oracle Hyperion training. lol).


We came in the store on schedule but we were initially shocked to see another chocolate fountain supplier preparing for her setup for the same event! At the end, they realized that we should be the chocolate fountain supplier for that event because I got the confirmation from the client.By confirmation I mean the 50% downpayment fee was settled. I guess the mistaken chocolate fountain supplier, who seemed to be tied up to that Shakey's branch, confirmed the schedule without any downpayment fee. I felt sad for that lady but she had no choice but to leave the area for our setup..


Our client got the Platinum package with the following details :
- 2 kl Milk Chocolate fondue on one chocolate fountain
- 2 kl White Milk Chocolate fondue on one chocolate fountain
- Chocolate Wafer Sticks, Marshmallows, Vanilla Wafer, French Bread for the regular non-fruit dippers
- Mini-Donuts, Chocolate Chip Cookies for the special non-fruit dippers
- Watermelon, Melon, Banana for the regular fruits and Kiwi for her special fruit

I'm happy to see that our clients were impressed with the setup. Everyone kept on coming back on our table for their dessert treat=). I even got text messages and email inquiries from some guests night of the same day.

Dark Chocolate Almond Cake and Moist Almond Lemon Cake

My kitchen was full of sweet sugars, butter, flours, and cakes last weekend! I made Dark Chocolate Almond Cake for my daughter's real birthday last Friday, a Moist Almond Lemon Cake for my dad ( my belated happy birthday gift), and lots of mini cupcakes and 2 mini cakes for Missy's 3rd birthday party yesterday which I'll brag about on my next post.=)

Here's a shot of the cake I made for my baby girl..
It was sooo tasty, moist, and soft too! My dad even said it tasted like ice cream! lol I added a little bit of almond extract to my chocolate fudge icing. I guess that gave it that out of the ordinary taste.

Here's a slice of the cake which really speaks how moist this chocolate cake is.


This Moist Almond Lemon cake was made right after we catered to our One McKinley event last Saturday night. I actually made it in the wee hours of the night just to make sure that my dad gets surpriseD when he sis it in the morning=D I was happy that I came out perfectly! The recipe came from Ina Garten of Barefoot Contesa (one of my favorite shows!) .

Here's a shot of the cake with the lemon syrup.. another moisturicious cake! lol

A shot of the lemon cake after I put on the lemon glaze..

And to finish it off, here's a shot with the sprinkled roasted slivered almonds and message from us (thanks auntie dez for the suggestion and treat! you still owe me though.hehehe)





Pink Themed Silver Package for Baby Shower at One McKinley Function Room 1, Global City Taguig

Here's our first catered event at One McKinley Place Function Room 1 for a baby shower event. Chef Redd who was in charge of catering to the party got our service as an addition to their dessert station. I've heard that most of the baked goodies that were included on the dessert station were baked by the soon-to-be-mom herself=)



It's a pleasure for us to be chosen by a chef to be one of their dessert suppliers. =)




Bratz and Barney in Fashion themed 1st and 7th birthdays at Prestige Tower Ortigas Center



This was one of our events held last Saturday. I loved how the party venue was dressed up! The colors were so vibrant and did very well match the theme of the party.
An edited version of my shot..

Our client here requested for a Silver package with Marshmallows, Chocolate Wafer Sticks, Breadsticks, Banana, and Apple for their dippings as Bittersweet chocolate (my favorite!) for their chocolate fondue.

Black 'n White Chocolate Almond Cookies!

Hubby requested my home baked cookies for merienda=) I knew it. He did enjoy the first batch of cookies I made last week! Request granted, I made him my own version of cookie and I call it Black n' White Chocolate Almond Cookies! Yum!yum!

It's main ingredients are chopped bittersweet chocolates, white chocolates, and almonds. See how much chocolates I added on my cookie batter?=) Really, it does taste so heavenly!

Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies anyone?

I baked these chunky chocolate chip cookies for my texas poker addict sweetie last night!=)
He normally plays till about 2am to 3am! Anyway, so i though maybe my all time favorite cookie recipe will make him enjoy his game and win back his lost 4M pokey money.=)) lol Good thing it's only an internet virtual game!

Here's a shot of my cookies inside the oven. Yeah.. you might have noticed that I'm not using cookie sheets. That's another item on my list that I intend to buy soon. Oh well, at least this brownie baking pans work! =)

Most of the recipes I use come from the Pillsbury baking cookbook that my mom bought me when I was still in highschool. I must say that all the recipes I've tried so far are all perfect! I'm really happy that I'm now baking for my hubby and kids=P


Piggy Themed Cupcakes!

Here's my second project guys! I really enjoyed baking these cute piggies=)

They look sooo like a cute family of pigs! The icings used in these cakes are all butter cream. But I used melted milk chocolate belgian choco to draw their mouth, whole on their nose, and cute little eyes.
