Angry Birds Version Nth

I get at least 10 cake orders and 8 dozen cupcake requests every week for the Angry Birds theme. Here's one that I made over the weekend. It's a mini fondant covered chocolate cake with all the little fellas in that popular video game. The customer told me she was going to give it to someone who needed some anger management. Cute. :)

red velvet cupcakes with The Cupcake Theory's signature cream cheese frosting

I finally have an official photo of The Cupcake Theory's best selling red velvet cupcakes (named Sultry, Sexy, Red by yours truly. Ha! ). I've been meaning to take updated photos of my cupcakes since I've been using photos that my customers' gave me. Those were perfectly fine and taken by people who were practically born with their cameras but the cupcakes' looks were outdated. It's been more than two years since I started selling cupcakes and during the first 6 months, it was a constant trial and error when it came to the piping. I finally found "the one" and decided to stick with it and use it as my signature look (for more than a year now). Many thanks to family and friends who willingly and tirelessly put up with all my cupcake fickleness! I'm still editing photos for the other cupcake flavors and cannot wait to post them!

That Chocolate in That Box

Curly Tops is still my favorite after all these years. My mom told me that my father used to give her this when they were still dating.

Due to the Martial Law some 20 years ago, imported chocolates were practically non existent here in the Philippines. My aunts and uncles who traveled a lot would usually bring us imported goods during that period but I still preferred my Curly Tops.

I especially like the fact that Ricoa didn't change their packaging.

This is the ultimate comfort food.

Paint Shmaint

I love making hand-painted cakes. Here are some:

"Across the Ocean"

I got a call from Cathy (who is currently in Dubai) and she wanted something special for someone here in Cebu. Too sweet!

The birthday boy is a big fan of artist extraordinaire Christian Tamondong. This cake was inspired after one of Tamondong's paintings - which the celebrator has. :)

Hello, Gwinnie!

My uber fabulous, extremely generous and unbelievably thoughtful London based-friend, Ragen, got me a personally signed Gwyneth Paltrow book for my birthday. Rage, you're the sweetest!

Gwyneth and my friend Ragen - small talk. Haha. :)

Signing the book! Thanks, Ragen!

Why, hello there!

This girl can sing, dance, act and cook. Is there something that she can't do?

I'm a fan!
