About 2 years ago, when these adorable yellow creatures in blue jumpsuits hit the silver screen, kids and kids at heart alike went crazy over them and were hit by the "minions craze".

It was actually an advantage on my end when the minions craze started to spread.

Since then, orders kept pouring as clients request for minions-themed cupcakes, back when I was still happily busy making custom cakes and cupcakes when I was still back home.

And now that a new movie has come out, the minions craze lives on!

And I'm sure that I'd be getting a lot of orders again if I were back home.

Aside from the feeling of accomplishment when I see my creations, I love seeing how my customers appreciate my work. Oh how I really miss baking! I wish I can still continue it here. Knowing that I'm able to bring happiness is the very reason why love and miss what I do back home!

It's my parents' 31st Wedding Anniversary yesterday and we celebrated it by having a simple dinner at home. I was supposed to make a cake, but because we still have some leftover cake from Father's Day, I just decided to make some brownies for my mom and dad.

Choco Dulce de Leche Brownies

I made chocolate fudge brownies with walnuts and cashew nuts and then decided to make it a little more special by adding some dark chocolate and dulce de leche drizzle. :D

Today's the birthday of my older brother, Chino, so I decided to make a birthday cake for him. I was already thinking of designs for my brother's birthday cake as early as after I made my own birthday cake. Special thanks to my baby brother, Jaoey, for suggesting the designs. He knew how Chino loves cars and basketball so these were the designs that he had in mind.


I was choosing between a sports car cake or a basketball cake, and, because I thought it's kinda hard to sculpt a car out of a cake, I just chose the latter. :p
