SanFo Treats (Day One)

Great place, great people, great weather, this also means great TREATS! Hahahahah! 

So on our first day in Newark, the whole gang (cousins, aunts and uncles, parents and so on..)headed for Monterey to go sight seeing. 

The highlight while we were walking was the Ghirardelli Ice Cream we had!

We got Coffee, Butter Pecan, and Classic Ghirardelli Chocolate


While going around we also saw this sign on a shop window which reminded me of mom! 

She did agree that is suits her hahahah!

Bday Sprinkles

Since it's "pre-sem-break" week, I finally had the time to bake this "Sprinkle's" cupcake mix which Pam gave me long time ago. Coincidentally it was also Isha's birthday, so the cupcakes made a very festive addition to the occasion. 

The Mix


Fresh from the oven


The leftover batter was used to make a "mini-cake"


The Finished Mini Cake


The Final Product

(with all the trimmings and box)

Buon Compleanno Sherrie!

It was Sherrie's birthday last Sunday, so the family headed to Tagaytay for an Italian lunch in Amo Roma! The pizza, lamb, and gnocchi was just excellent. But I have to say that the highlight of the lunch were the desserts!

We ordered the tiramisu

(It's sooo good that you wouldn't want to share so order your own)

andRicotta Cheescake (the honey garnish was just clever) 

The trip to Amo Roma was really worth it! It's truly rustic Italian dining. Happy Birthday again Sherrie!

hindi pwedeng "Tayong Dalawa"

On the Friday night before Ondoy hit Manila, MIX mobile bar was one of the caterers at the finale party of the popular telenovela "Tayong Dalawa". I tagged along to give Jarv a hand in serving the stars of the show.

Unfortunately, I had to leave early because of class the next day so wasn't really much of a help. It was really fun seeing the stars like Gerald, Kim, Jake and Regine as well as being able to watch the finale episode with the whole cast just a few tables away! Hahahahaha!


 On my way out, I was able to get one of the party favors which was the cupcake. It looks cool and colorful. That's about it for the cupcake (it just looked good...hehehehe)
