Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh 7/8/10

This is an old photo of the cake I made for a friend. It was her son's birthday and he loves Winnie the Pooh. I offered to make the cake and gave her the cake as a present.

I made it with the Disney Winnie the Pooh pan and it was fun. It was a bit tedious with all the star piping but it was worth it at the end. I loved it and so did everyone, YEY!

This is the tedious part for me. I have carpal tunnel so I have to constantly stop and rest my arms / wrist.
The face is starting to form :-)

Almost done, my daughter took this picture for me. Thanks Babe :-)

All done and ready to be eaten. I also made cupcakes and chocolate dipped strawberries.

Coco for Brownie Bottom Coconut Macaroons 6/25/10

Brownies and coconut macaroons together? I didn't think it would be good but I guess I was wrong. Everyone loves it and it vanishes like magic. This is another treat I make that people request for me to bring other than the cake bites.


I used to just make the macaroons but I wanted to try something different and bigger than just the mini bites I used to make. So i figured no one can resist brownies and everyone loves the macaroons already so I started making them in the muffin size pan with the brownie on the bottom and the macaroons on the top, and they were a hit.

Pain Au Lait (Milk Bread) 6/22/10

When I was little there was this bakery by our house that was famous for Pandesal. We don't really buy them a lot but when we did I spread that Star Margarine on it like there was no tomorrow. When we moved to NY, I've never had it ever again. This bread, Pain Au Lait, is not even close to tasting like the Pandesal I grew up eating, but this bread is good. I don't make this all the time since bread making is time consuming. I make it when I have lots of time and when it is baked, it's worth the wait. This bread has a sweet taste to it, from the milk.

Cake balls be gone 6/22/10

I get lots of laugh every time I say cake balls *giggling* I know it's weird but that what it is. It's a cake shaped into balls, but I want to change the name to cake bites It's so much better and people don't laugh. So my cake bites has been a hit lately and every time I make them I always have people asking me to make it and some asking me how to make it. I always tell them it's in my website but I don't think they ever come and visit, LOL!

Anyway I've made tons of them, last week alone I made about 11 dozen in 1 day all by myself. So here are my parade of cake bites.

For a birthday, I'm not really sure who it was for :-(

This was for someone who graduated College, this was their school color. Green and Yellow.

This was a giveaway for a banquet.

Birthday cake bites ordered for her son who likes blue and red :-)

Barbie cake for Twins 6/15/10

Izzy and Rizzy are twin girl who were born in the Philippines, but they are American girls. They were born on July 12, Philippine Independence Day. They live here in the US and when their mom, my cousin, asked me to make them a cake I was really excited. I promised them last time I would make their cake, since I didn't get to make it when they asked me before.

I had to make 2 cakes for twins but I didn't want to make 2 separate cakes. My cousin, bought 2 Barbie dolls and I figured I would make a huge round cake and just sit both of them on top. It actually turned out pretty good. I thought it wouldn't fit.

When I was towards the end, I was not so happy with the results. I ran out of MMF at 10 at night and with 2 kids in the house with no vehicle, I was not happy at all. I was frustrated that the twins wouldn't have a lot of color in their cake and they wouldn't like it. BOY, I was wrong! When they saw the cake the next day they couldn't stop looking at it. They were so excited and happy. Just seeing them happy made me happy :-)

I have to make cupcakes so they both have their own color. I messed up one of the cupcake color. I thought it was going to come out pink but it came out reddish (need to buy pink color). The colors the twins like are purple, pink and green.
