Piece of Cake Gourmet Cupcakes by Yumi Castillo

Topics: Food

Most of the cupcakes I tasted during the September Baker’s Fair were dependent on the icing to bring about the flavor of the cupcake, but not Yumi’s Cupcakes.
… We just hate it when we put the pastries in the refrigerator, it would harden and then it won’t go back to its original form/taste when eaten at room temperature, but not Yumi’s cupcakes.

Like the story of my brother, Lorenz who is a successful SAP consultant in the U.S. and met his lovely wife, Carmina in Singles for Christ in LA .
… The restaurant is a high-end version of Red Crab with a simple well lighted ambiance, wavy ceiling and a kitchen with circle windows that resembled those in the submarine.
…We ordered the Set Menu for lunch (because their ala carte was not yet available) which were reasonably priced for a 5-course meal with a serving size that may be good for two people.

We are happy that we will see Baby 4 soon and at the same time, a bit sad because we won’t be able to attend my big brother’s wedding in Caleruega/ Balai Taal. Also, Aidan is the ring bearer so we will miss seeing him walk in Caleruega. For those wondering what is the name of Baby 4, check out Rache’s post on Baby 4 .

National Thank You Day — a Toblerone Show…

There were two other competing activities within the same area: Channel 23 Day Break in the MOA Bay Area to celebrate semestral break ala Spring break and Anlene’s bid to break the most number of people dancing simultaneously in a single event as part of the World’s celebration of Osteoperosis in CCP. … I would love to believe that it was number #1 but reality is, I don’t think we acknowledged that we have an issue with saying “Thank You”.
…Most people were disappointed that it was only confetti shower of triangle shaped red/white paper and not the actual Toblerone chocolates as we were led to believe the entire show.
