Family Portrait Cake

I celebrated my birthday last January 12 (Thursday) with a simple dinner at home with family and relatives. Hubby and I also celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on that day. Time indeed flies so fast for it seems like yesterday when we tried to slice our cake together...

Our bittersweet 10 years was blessed with 2 beautiful kids, Chloe and Zoe. They were the precious gifts that I received from God♥

On my birthday, I only wish to have a beautiful cake so I contacted my baker friend, Zen of Isabel's Confections. My mom used to buy me cakes at Goldilocks but this time, I told her that a friend will make me a personalized cake. However, she still bought a small cake as per Chloe's instructions (shakes head)...

Going back to Zen, I only asked her 2 days prior to my birthday and glad that she accepted it. We came up with a photocake and I was so happy with the result! See pics below:

Welcome 2012!

We celebrated our Media Noche last December 31, 2011 my place and my mom bought this cake from Goldilocks:

It was our first time to celebrate New Year at home for we usually go to my mom's place and stay there overnight. But because of some untoward circumstances and for everyone's accessibility, we decided to have a simple party at home.

Happy 2012 everyone!

Pink Ribbon Cake

Pink Ribbon Cake was made by Zen of Isabel's Confections. She was the one who made Zoe's Tinkerbell cake on her first birthday (see here). I am so happy that Zen allowed me to post this beautiful cake she made for a friend. She also allowed me to grab some of her pictures and some were shared to me by a common friend.

Let it be known that October is the National Breast Cancer Awareness month. It is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention and cure. Let's continue to support and spread this cause in honor of our friends, family members or acquaintances who bravely fought cancer.

By the way, if you wish to order a cake from Isabel's Confections, you can contact her thru her site at: http://isabelsconfections.tumblr.com/. She's currently living in Cagayan de Oro with her beautiful daughter named Isabel =)... Again, thanking Zen and her friend for sharing me these pictures with a cause.

Yummy Sunday: Sans Rival Cake

For my Yummy Sunday entry this week, I'll be featuring here my birthday/anniversary cake that was given to me by my mom last January 12, 2011. This is a Sans Rival cake from Goldilocks and it tasted really good. I've tried this one before from another confectionery shop but it was so super sweet I only ate 1/8th of it. I thanked my mom for always bringing me a cake on my birthdays =)

Yummy Sunday: Valentine Cake

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! I should've posted my entry earlier but was busy doing other things... plus - I overslept this afternoon! hehehe...

Anyway, we took our lunch at Roadhouse, SM and did the grocery afterwards. My husband also bought a cake from Bigby's to serve as our dessert --- at home :D We arrived home past 4pm and I was really tired and drowsy. My daughter and I took an afternoon nap but we woke up instead around 6:45pm! My husband decided to cook dinner for us (I requested, hehe) and ate dinner kinda late.

So my Yummy Sunday entry for this day is about the Valentine's Cake from Bigby's. I husband said it's his gift for me and for our daughter, Chloe. And please join Perfectly Blended every Sunday and share to us your yummy foods!
