Pokemon themed Fondant Cake

I am so glad Ms. Ma. Cecil Baclayon-Lagare who is by the way a very nice lady customer was so pleased with her order. Although I was frustrated with the fondant color red, it turned out to be very dark red. I learned that as the color gel soaked overnight the color turns darker.
Actually, the lady from the baker's basket store told me that if violet and red/red mixed together would be a bold/super red. I really wanted a bright red so maybe next time I'll just use single super red or red red color gel.

I was a little bit worried that I would not satisfy her wishes but thankfully she really liked it as well as her guests on her son's birthday party.

Nothing else inspires me but to know that I have a satisfied customer who appreciates my cakes.

It's encouraging to know that I make people happy with my creations. I enjoy making them anyways.

To God be the Glory! God bless everyone!

My cheesecakes...

Durian Cheescake

This is how it all started...my cheesecake journey.....

It has been awhile since my last baking, that was during my son's first birthday. The durian fruit was in season that time. So I decided to make a Durian cheesecake. ...it was a big hit then!

Another time during our high school batch reunion, I brought this mouth-watering cheesecake for our dessert. At first, I was hesitant to make one because the restaurant we were going to served cheesecakes.

I wanted to be thoughtful to everyone so I brought it anyway.

Well, of course, who would resist CHOCOLATE and plus they didn't have to pay for it! ...hehehe... It was free for everybody so it must be good, right?! .....But no, really it was super duper soooo yummy! I didn't expect that it would be a hit! I have thought that cheesecake would not be appreciated well here in the Philippines... Yah, I was so so wrong. Most of them right away expressed interest in ordering one....

So, I got inspired and thought of pursuing this as a business....clever! I know, right?!

I started selling them since December of last year. So far, I've got really nice comments about the cakes... It was worth it knowing that I'm getting satisfied customers. This one here, I made during our thanksgiving feast at church.

I sold mostly the chocolate bliss and few of the blueberry cheesecakes.

The photo below is my version of Cookies n Cream Cheesecake

For now, I am planning to experiment on other flavors, specifically a mango-flavored one. I've been wanting to do this for quite sometime now... I and my hubby loves mango and so everyone here in the Philippines. Hopefully, it will also be a great addition to my cheesecake selections.

Ultimate Carrot Cake Goodness!!!

ULTIMATE CARROT CAKE GOODNESS!!!

My very first moist carrot cake ever and it turned out to be full of gooodnesssss!! I would never have thought I would love the taste of carrot in a cake. Not until I got americanized and tasted the Duncan Hines decadent carrot cake mix. That's what I missed about being in the states everything is almost instant...how convenient, right!

Anyways, whenever I liked something that I ate in a restaurant for an instance, there's a thing in me, that makes me wanna do a duplicate or "do my own version" thing. Sounds challenging, right! Since I missed being in the states, I thought of making a copycat of Duncan Hines decadent carrot cake and the result was awesome! My husband and lady friends loved it!

I shared some to a dear friend for a birthday present, not knowing that it is her favorite cake....how timely! ...I wish you could see that excitement on her face!

I have to admit that this cake is a lot of work...but its worth it! As you can see candied carrots were also made from scratch! And oooh....the cream cheese frosting was heavenly...yumm!

......Please feel free to e-mail me if you want to try this recipe

.....and also I can take orders if you don't have time to bake!

Candied Yams (Boiled Sweet Potato with a twist)

My version : Candied Yams

(boiled sweet potato with a twist)

A fellow American was helping us with our vehicle problem the day I made this. I figured since he was away from home that he would be thrilled to know that there's something baking in the oven that would remind him of traditional american side dish. Well, I've never made this when I was in Texas. It is just now that I'm back in the Philippines that I missed so much of the good stuff there. I have to admit that I'm experiencing homesickness! And this is one of the many great stuff that reminds me of my life in the states. I thought I could never find comparable ingredients here. Canned yams are always available in the US groceries not here though. My hubby so love this dish and so do I. I crave this once in awhile.

Actually, this is a traditional American thanksgiving side dish. So I made one during our celebration. My friends here in the Philippines never tried this recipe ever and of course they all loved it! Ingredients are easy to find:

Boiled and mashed Yams or Chinese Kamote(orange flesh), that's the name they called it here when you go to the wet market. By the way, the other variety of sweet potato like the yellow and the purple won't do well for this recipe.
1 small can crushed pineapple mix into the mashed yams.
Brown sugar, butter, chopped walnuts, cinnamon and a little flour tossed them altogether. Make two batches of this. One to mix into the yams and the second batch to sprinkle on top.
Marshmallows for toppings. Bake it until it turns brownish. (see the photo)
