Bridal Shower Naughty Cake

                                         Bridal Shower Naughty Cake for Greta Francisco

LOL! I really do not want to make a naughty cake however my friends requested it for our friend Greta for her surprising bridal shower.

I made this cake out from the sight of my children but they saw it when they got up in the morning and to their surprise, my eldest son asked what is that white on top? I replied that was only a decoration like a flower. 

Then, my daughter told me that Greta will be mad at me why I made a penis on top of her cake. 

My daughter said that is bad mommy!

Personalized Pillow

April 14, 2021 0 Comments

I am bored I can think of so many things to do to avoid boredom and sewing is one of them. I am not an expert on this skill however I know the basic steps in sewing. I learned and I started to like it when I was in high school. My mother of course taught me the very basics of sewing and then I learned some of those steps during my second year high at school.


Making a pillow is very easy to do. For the love of my children, I decided to sew a personalized pillow for them. The picture above is a personalized embroidered yellow pillowcase for my eldest son "DJ" and the pink one is for my daughter "Ynna". It was my first time embroidering yet I managed to finish it like a pro hahaha! Well, it's not perfect but for my children who appreciate everything I did for them was amazing!

I made these pillowcases because my son and my daughter always fight whos who the pillow is. Since the name is on it there are no more fights. Problem solved!

Their reactions after I finished sewing the pillowcases, were overwhelming!

My friendship cake

April 14, 2021 0 Comments

 


This cake was made on the day when my friends and I had gatherings. It was also the day when my friend Rick and his girlfriend announced that they are going to get married this coming November 8 of this year.

This is also the first time that they taste my newly found way of making icing and the filling I put in the cake. I was so happy with the comments I received from my friends.

LOL... I named this cake as a friendship cake... even though, this was done in a hurry but I baked and decorated it with all my heart.

Baby Blue Dress and Long Sleeves

April 14, 2021 0 Comments

Note: this post was repost from my old blog... I just don't want to lost it...

This is my latest dress creation, made with love especially for my daughter and son. I decided to sew this dress and long sleeves when they got invited for a birthday party. The theme for that party was "Winter Wonderland". The celebrant made a request that all her guests will wear baby blue or white.


It was really a short noticed so I do not have time to shop for the suit and besides I didn't have much money to buy. I went to Fabricville store and I found out that day I can buy material for less.

My daughter Angelynna likes it very much and very proud. This is the 5th dress I made for her and I am very surprised that she knows how many dresses I made for her when my friend Jovelyn asked her how many dress mommy sewed for her.

2captchaThis long sleeve is for my eldest son and of course he is happy and proud too. This is one of his favorite.

One thing that made my stress away is when I made my children smile and happy for every little thing I made for them. Apart from that, it saves me money also. Savings is great!
I am hoping for another time to sew another suit for my kiddos.
Here's the material cost:
For dress
ribbon
zipper
$9.69
$1.00
$2.00
long sleeves
buttons
$4.99
$2.00
Total
$19.68

Birthday Cake Basket Weave Design

Birthday Cake Basket Weave Design
My friend (Jean) ordered this basket weaved design birthday cake for her mother-in-law. This was made in a rush hour. I felt so worried that she may not like the cake but I got good feedback that the celebrant liked the cake very much.


2captchaThe cake was vanilla cake filled with strawberry jam. I got the recipe from the cake boss website. Anyhow, this was the second time I tried the Basket-weave technique in decorating the cake. Looking at the design, it looks very simple and easy to do however, it’s not really easy, it really needs more careful because you might forget whether vertical or you are already in the horizontal line. As new to this technique I forgot several lines but I managed to hide it with some decorations like the flowers or the leaves on it or around it.

The flowers I made were a combination of buttercream icing, royal icing, and gum paste. In my experience, it is really not a good idea to decorate the cake in a rush because if you make mistake there will be no time to fix it. Fortunately, in my case, I have made several royal icing flowers and gum-paste flowers so it turned it very handy.

By the way, thanks to my friend Jean who trusted and gave me an opportunity to explore my creativity.

Barbie Birthday Cake

April 14, 2021 0 Comments


For everything, there's always first time so here we go, my first ever baked and decorated birthday cake for my one and only daughter Angelynna

On December 30, 2014 was her 4th birthday. She requested just before her birthday to have a Princess Birthday cake. I told her that yes e have to buy her birthday cake on the store same as we usually did in her previous birthday and her brothers however, she wanted me to bake a cake for her, with of course decorations.
I was speechless because the fact that I have no idea in decorating cake and also not good in baking. I remember one time I baked a cake and it was a big failure because the result was like cement. huhuhu! Really a problem for me.
Well for my daughter I am going to try again, who knows maybe this is the time. I tried to bake two weeks before her birthday, my first attempts was a big failure. I followed the instructions but I really didn't know what happened why the result is a big fat "F". After five times of attempt, I am glad I did it. Wohooh! A big success really I was happy.
Then the decorations, well, I knew it was not perfect but my daughter was really happy.
