We were at my in-laws for dinner (again) last Monday night ( June 8 ) and found out that we would have an advance first birthday party for my wife’s pamangkin Yuan on Saturday ( June 13 ). Yuan’s mom will be leaving for New Zealand at the end of the month (Yuan’s birthday is on July 11), and the small gathering would also serve as a sendoff party. So the rest of last week was spent preparing for the small party.
We dropped by Mall of Asia (MOA), specifically Living Well, where my wife bought some baking stuff, and did a bit of shopping. It feels so good to be debt free. We paid in cash, of course. 
After a short trip to SM Sucat the next day, where we bought some styrofoam, a small pint of black styro paint, and a couple of brushes (we almost bought a receipt printer too) for making the cupcake tower, we were at Dough It All, BF Homes, to shop for baking ingredients. Baking day was Friday. My wife made two more desserts in addition to the cupcakes. She made Calamansi Bars, which were a bit too sour for me, and blueberry cheesecake, which was just perfect, as always. I had an Art Attack moment and made the cupcake stand. You can always trust an engineer to build something. More pics to follow. My Internet connection is currently tooo slooooow!
wow, those cupcakes look really good! ang galing naman talaga ni wifey! you guys can really put up a swanking bakeshop
