Milk Chocolate Box Cake







A compact, very chocolatey, kinda chewy, dense chocolate cake with creamy pastry cream filling topped with one of a kind milk chocolate soft buttercream. Im proud of this creation. This is something you wont find and taste in other bakeshops or baker. 

This one will come with four pretty poinsettias in the corners. Not in picture because I ran out of icing sugar. Bugger! Boxed in a clear plastic box so convenient for this holiday rush. This will also come with red and green ribbons. Plus a gift card.

PM for orders.

At your Christmas Table: Walnut Caramel Fudge Brownies




Christmas is fast approaching. Everytime someone announce on TV that its __ days to go before Christmas I feel a lump on my throat. This past days I feel distraught, I cant seem to make up my mind on what to sell for Christmas. So finally after months of planning and kitchen tests I finally formulated an "im not so expecting this" creation. Finding a good recipe is like finding a needle in a hay stack and then adjusting the recipe so it will be very good is like inventing a rocket for a trip to Uranus. Yes that grueling. I feel guilty everytime I think of how may chocolate bars, walnuts, premium butter I wasted so I can come up  with a recipe this good. A million thanks to my cookie monster nephew who never got tired of eating my scraps.

When I formulated my brownie.... I had the Becky's Kitchen Brownies in mind. It should be that good, I promised myself. If not that good, as close as I can get! Im just realistic Becky's Kitchen is an institution......luckily it turned to be really good, equally good as Becky's, Im not shy to say that because its true. 

And its pretty too! not girly pretty but delectably lipsmackingly pretty.

If you like walnuts and fudgy-caramelly brownies, then this should be at your dinner table this Christmas plus Im sure your friends will love this....

16 squares for 400 Pesos, boxed up and tied up with red and green ribbons, It will be a sweet Christmas. 

Watch out for my marvelous square packed moist chocolate cake soon...

* Deliveries will be reasonably charged according to distance.

The Very Pretty Rose Cake

Im an old soul. I love childhood memories, the old life and rustic stuffs. So lets call this style the classic rather than old school. If you will ask me to bake you a wedding cake, I wont be doing it with fondant and airbrushing but rather with creamy buttercream or silky marshmallow icing.


Here just like a Classic Victoria Sandwich Cake. Stawberry Jam sandwiched between two fluffy chiffon cakes. So good... just like the old times.... nowadays cake fillings are so complicated... from salted caramel to rose water flavored choo choos.....

TIP: When filling your cake make a "dam" first on the outline of your cake to prevent the filling from spilling out unto the sides and mess up your frosting... its good that your dam is the same color or almost same color  with your frosting.

UPPER LIGHT BLUE CHIFFON CAKE was colored with four drops of McCormick Bright Blue.


TIP: Always have a leveled top cake and brush away the crumbs before you frost.... Dirty Ice first then get crazy with icing, FROST Away!



Here I used WILTON 2D Tip for perfect rose swirls! and Light TEAL color from paste type Chef Masters!
