Darth Yoda

Serena had her 30th "Mets" birthday cake from Jean. This time Serena placed a Darth Yoda cake for Joyce who was turning 30.

Yoda, the cake topper, took over 8 hours to make, starting from scultping the rice crispies to covering it with modeling chocolate. The slowly scultped his face to give it a grumpy old man look like how he is in most movies. I was glad that the number of the cake topper characters was reduced from three (3) Star Wars characters (Darth Vader, Yoda, and Luke Skywalker) to just Yoda. Otherwise, I'll be jumping hoops trying to find time finishing up three characters in as short as one week.

I had my first sculpted Yoda trashed due to air brush malfunctions. Glad that after 4 days working in phases with Yoda, I was able to pull it through. Here he is..... To add humor, he's using Darth Vader's stolen/acquired red saber...

Yoda was made of rice crispies and covered with modeling chocolate. His robe was made of fondant airbrushed with brown food coloring to give it a nice old, dirty look.

Cake was a chocolate cake filled with Italian chocolate-mocha buttercream.

I am happy that Serena "Loveeeee it" [cake].

Hermes Purse Cake

Surprisingly, this cake was Katrina's 3rd order. Her previous orders were the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag cake and the Laker's basketball cake. I glad that she was very pleased and happy with her orders that she decided to place another order.

I would humbly say that this was one of my best purse cake creation. I liked the crocodile texture. It brings a character to the purse cake.


Her aunt Nelia loves purses, so we agreed to make her Hermes cake replica. She also loves the purple color, so we decided to make an ube (purple yam) cake with buttercream frosting and macapuno (young coconut preserves). I made her extra cake accessories that she did not expect at all. I made it extra special since she had ordered previously. I made her edible LV face foundation, LV lipsticks, Movado watch, pearl necklace and bracelet, and Hermes price tag.

Laker's Fan

This was one challenging cake to make. The roundness of the ball was difficult to achieve. With challenges, the cake turned out the way I hoped it to be. However, the humidity in this season (summer) is not cooperating with me even with full blast airconditioning. What I need next is to purchase a dehumidifier. Hope this will solve my problem with humidity.

This cake was gifted to Uncle Boy on his 50th birthday from his beloved niece Katrina and nephew Jepoy. She wanted a simple cake, but I made it more than what she expected. She was ecstatic! It's more that what she expects!

The cake was made in mocha sponge cake filled with mocha Amaretto Italian buttercream. The cake was airburushed with orange food cloring to bring out the true orange color of the basketball.

The Laker's Playoff Ticket was made in icing sheet printed in food coloring and attached to fondant. The Laker's Logo was hand carved on fondant.

Once again, another happy birthday celebrant! Happy Birthday, Tito Boy!

Baby Shower Cake from Khat and Family

Coming out from a routine 8-hour day shift and being pregnant at the same time, was exhausting and energy draining. To top that, I had to decorate a special baby shower cake for a friend. Oh boy! I had to admit that it was a challenging day for me. I learned a valuable lesson that day. My body is not as it used before – not pregnant. I cannot juggle multiple activities at the same time and stayed up late for long hours, like I used to. I was so tired.

Although, it was a tough and long night for me… I was able to deliver, yet another beautiful cake. I am happy and pleased with the outcome of the cake considering I had faced few challenges – crooked cake at first and dropping the cake later due to fatigue, and baked new batches of 6” cakes, make new batches of fondant, and start to re-decorate again.



This cake was a vanilla-butter cake. The cake was filled with rich and sinful American chocolate buttercream with crushed almonds. The cake was decorated with marshmallow-butter flavored fondant and adorned with edible pearls. The baby teether keys and hair clips were made of fondant. The "Mary Jane" shoes was made of fondant. Basically, everything were edible. Kids would love them!

Baby Bodysuit/Onesie for Capt. Baby Ethan!

Aunt Eden requested a "onesie" cake and 50 pieces of cupcakes. Since it is going to be a baby boy, I suggested for a sailor theme onesie design. I provided a sketch...oh boy, was it a hit! Viola! Here's the cake...

I am happy that the cake turned out to be so beautiful and that aunt Eden was delighted!

The cake is a chocolate cake, filled with Italian mocha buttercream, and adorned with marshmallow fondant. to give the shirt a little texture look, I airbrushed the "onesie" cake with baby blue food coloring. The sailor hat, shoes, and teether keys were made from fondant and are edible. The cupcakes were also decorated with edible sailboats made with fondant.

This is the picture before it was delivered.
