Caramel Cake Anyone?

3.28.2015
Cakes, chiffon, chocolate, vanilla, marble, ube, icing, cakes... One of the basic things needed for a birthday. There are lots of bakeries out there with great tasting cakes but this one intrigued us.

Yesterday was my mom's birthday and we thought about giving her a cake. We thought about it and found this bakery, Estrel's Caramel Cakes. At first we were doubtful but checked it anyway through zomato and found nothing but good reviews. We went there to check if there were available cakes but kailangan pala magpa reserve and so we did. The accommodation was ok, they give numbers upon entrance to those who will order and for those who will pick up. We talked to one of the staff and had a conversation about our order, the color of the flowers, dedication, cake size and outer layer if it's caramel of marshmallow. After that they asked what time will we pick it up on the next day then straight to payment. The prices were reasonable and almost same with other bakeries.





This is the interior, I only have one picture nahiya kasi ako kumuha haha. It was airconditioned of course and i like the minimalistic decorations and everything was in pastel colors. So on the left side is where you take orders and on the right is where you pick them up. 


This is their box, we ordered a 10" cake. The box was very simple, maybe they can do more on the design or packaging. Walang hawakan so mahirap dalhin, siguro kasi puro mayayaman bumibili puro may kotse kaya di na kailangan bitbitin haha, but ok lang naman.


(photo from my mom) And this is the cake! Super green kasi favorite ni mommyang green. The taste of the cake was outstanding, it's not too sweet nor bland but just the right amount. The cake has two layers and in between them is another filling, caramel, which tastes like custard and super delicious. The outer coverage is caramel and the flowers are made from butter i think. All in all rating for the cake is 10. It's super sulit and we will still order again :)

Sky full of stars

3.16.2015

Last Saturday I've had the opportunity to watch again the pyro olympics in MOA tho it's the last day of the event. I never have tried buying the vip ticket before but thankfully my companion bought for us :) While looking for a place to seat there are none left, buti nalang nakita namin kung saan pwede humingi ng chair then we looked for a spot. Maraming tao and also booths like tanduay, shakeys, bon chon and others, there are also poi, not sure of the spelling, dancers entertaining while we wait for the event to start.
The last country we saw that competed was China and it was really good. I liked the part where they used these epic instrumentals, like they used one from "The Pacific Rim" it was really nice. I didn't notice how long the fireworks ran but I enjoyed it the whole time. After all of that they announced the winners and they are 

  1. Netherlands
  2. China
  3. Portugal

Luckily we witnessed one of the winners. After that the Philippines gave a firework show too as we were not part of the competition. Super ganda din :) I enjoyed everything the whole time kahit na ang daming tao and mahirap mag rest room hahaha. Hopefully next year I can witness the spectacular show in the sky

Lots of love

Skin potions and myskincouture review

3.05.2015
Soaps... Whitening peeling soaps... A lot of Filipinos rave and are crazy about these products just to achieve that glowing pinkish smooth white skin. I was very curious about these soaps and always wanted to try some of them but I wanted something that's organic and my skin will love.

At first I was doubtful at purchasing products online because we'll never know if they're legit or the products work. The good thing is that they have feedbacks from their customers and after reading a lot of them I was sure that I wanted one. Last week I purchased from skinpotions (on instagram) and myskincouture their popular soap and serum. The transaction and delivery was also fast so I was glad. Below are the products that I have and really loving.




The Barbados Cherry oil, I apply it at night before I sleep because it's an oil it does not dry up easily. However when I wake up my skin looks glowing and not dry. This product is good for the skin because ir provides Vitamin C and A that makes the skin healthy.


The Tomato Serum, by the way I really love the scent kung pwede lang inumin haha. This one I apply after I take a bath, it shrinks down pores and tightens the skin also it reduces oiliness which also makes the skin look pinkish and healthy. I use it as a primer before I put on powder or even make up.


Ultimate White Soap, used at night. This one really does the peeling work done. It just needed to stay at less than 2 minutes or it can irritate the skin. Also it does micro peeling.


10 in 1 soap from myskincouture smells reaaaaaally good. From the moment that I opened the package the scent was all over the room. I let this soap settle on my skin even above 2 minutes because it does not irritate my skin. There's a bit of micro peeling here.

So it has been a week since I've been using this products and I can at least see some improvement. I'm loving these products and I have been using them everyday. I hope after a month maybe I cacn see bigger changes on my skin :)

By the way here is a link for my new Skin Potions review: Skin Potions your best Skinfood

Lots of love
