Weekend Snapshot: Birthday

Yesterday, we celebrated our grandfather's birthday, Daddy John. We had shrimp, lengua (cow's tongue), lapu-lapu, Bicol Express, and more. But my favorite is the birthday cake, the Estrel's caramel cake:

Anyway, this caramel flavored cake is a chiffon cake but it was not too sweet. The icing is neither thick nor thin, very smooth, and light brown in color. The flower trimmings are made with butter icing, not hardened sugar in toothpicks. It is so perfect. Yummy!

As far as I know, it costs P550 for an 8-inch round cake with caramel filling and P500 without filling. And since this is a made-to-order cake, you need to order two days in advance.

Aeirin is on Working Mom Magazine

One of my unfulfilled dreams has finally come true. Mommy Charm, Mommy Cara, and I are on the Working Mom Magazine October 2008 issue. Pinay Mommies Community (PMC) is featured on this issue.

It was the first week of September when Mommy Ruby asked us if we can represent PMC. At first I was hesitant, but Mommy Ruby convinced me that this is my chance to fulfill one of my dreams, that is to be in a magazine.

The interview and pictorial was done last September 9, 2008 at Bonifacio High Street. During that day, I really wanted to look good so I decided to stop by a salon. Funny, Mommy Charm was also there to have her hair done.

After the salon, we went straight to the meeting place. We were shocked that we had make up artist, because a day before the shoot, we were told that there would be no make up artist. We were so lucky because the other groups did not have make up artist.

Our photo shoot and interview took almost 1 to 2 hours. But it was really a fun experience for me. Thanks to Mommy Ruby for making one of unfulfilled dreams into reality. Here are some of our photos behind the shoot.
