The Newest Cake Fairy In Town!!

I've always known how artistic Jeh is. (Full name: Jerrielyn Dela Cruz - Albay, a stay-at-home mom of 3 and a loving wife to Joel). She is after all, my bestfriend.. Our friendship dates back since college and since we became best buddies, we've been inseparable,  that is until we had families of our own and could barely find time to  go out that often, but we never lost touch... Our lives are forever bound as we are practically family already. I am her eldest son's godmother and she is my soul-sister...

Today, after what seemed to be such a long time, I saw my bestfriend again, at my god-daughter Thea's 1st birthday party whose birthday cake she designed... Just to give a rundown on how the party took place, it was a simple yet very very lovely Hello Kitty party, everything was just downright awesome.

Going back to Jeh,  honestly when I learned that she was into baking lately, I had an inkling that she would do well in it. Even when we were in school, she was always the "all-knowing" when it comes to lay-outs and anything art-related.  She was born with that talent. Or should I say, blessed with an innate artistic skill that others could only wish for (that includes me)... sheesh....



And boy was I right... As soon as I got into the party, the first thing that caught my eye was the GORGEOUS Hello Kitty castle cake she did for Thea... Surrounding the cake were moist chocolate & banana cupcakes with edible  Hello Kitty toppers... Being in the events business,  I have seen so many beautiful cakes but still, this one took my breath away... Maybe I am biased knowing it was my bestfriend who did it, or I'm just crazy over pink and lavender or it could be that I am simply a cake addict. My husband even says cupcakes are my kryptonite.  But truly, the effort she gave into this creation was just remarkable. The designs were intricate, clean and very detailed, that's how Jeh really is.. The mixture of colors were perfect. Heck, I would love to have a Hello Kitty cake like this for myself.

can you be any more intricate than that???
can you be any more intricate than that???

I never thought she could be as good as those famous cake suppliers in my list. I couldn't help but sneak in for a cupcake and it tasted just as good as it looks, it was moist and delicious on the inside. Taking a bite at that chocolate cupcake was literally cupcake heaven...



I can never be any prouder than I am now for Jeh.. I think she has finally found her niche, who would ever think she'd be baking cakes and selling them too!!  Looks to me like you have to plan on getting that bigger kitchen and oven you mentioned. Expect more clients to surely come marching in.. We'll see each other again very soon, my dear...

For now, let me finish my last piece of banana cupcake... Oh yes, sugar rush, I love you.... Come to Mama...

Just Because....

And for no reason at all, I get this from "the boyfriend" upon arriving home from our food tasting... I was trying hard to remember what occasion it was intended for, turns out he saw this at the mall and decided to just get  it. Talk about pogi points...



Whooo hooo!!!
