Mica and Jordan, and me, too, love chewy cookies. I love to share the recipe of this cookies to all of you, guys, but my copy is being misplaced by my cutie Mica. So sorry that I can't remember the exact measurement for each ingredient. Basically, it has butter, sugar, flour, cashew nuts, chocolate chips and vanilla. I just can't recall the measurements, dear. :(

Super Chocolatey Brownies

My brownies are made of finest ingredients and made-to-order only. Bulk orders come during the ber-months since this is one of the common gifts during Christmas season yet always appreciated.

These three variants are my bestsellers. They can be fudgy or cakey, depending on the customer preference. I also make walnut brownies and cream cheese brownies but for special order only and charged at slightly higher price.

Cake Decorating Class I

April 2006 when I enrolled at Heny Sison Culinary School for it short course in Basic Cakes and Icing. It was my preparation for baking Mica's 1st bday cake. I intended to enrol in the series of Cake Decorating Clases but schedule made me postpone my class reservation again and again. Finally, I made it on September 2007.

Cake Decorating Class I taught us the uses of basic decorating tips and made a character cake as a final project. I chose Sesame Street's Big Bird because this is the character my daughter Mica really loves.

I first wanted to decorate Strawberry Shortcake, which by the way, Chef Heny Sison told us that it was her very first character baking pan, quite an antique, we joked. She said she should put that in her memorabilia after using it since she was in her teens(?). Anyway, her Strawberry Shortcake pan doesn't really looked like an antique, hehe. It was in excellent condition, and the cake baked in that pan looked really good, too.

My classmate Tess was the one who decorated Strawberry shortcake but since I also love this character, I borrowed it from her for a souvenir pic.

Our class picture... :)

Mica's 1st Birthday Cake

I enrolled at Heny Sison Culinary School in April 2006 for Basic Cakes and Icing class. I was determined to bake Mica's birthday cake for her first bithday in August of the same year so months before August, I really made time to enrol. And the following weeks after I attened to that short class, cups and cups of flour, sugar and butter were the witnessess to my effort to perfect my cake.

August came and I able to make two birthday cake, both Pooh and Friends theme. I made a single layer round cake for intimate family dinner on the exact date of her birthday.

Mica's lemon chiffon cake. Not really an impressive cake to see but it's yummy, I'm sure.

Jordan, me and Mica

This is Mica's Pooh and Friends birthday cake during her Piglet party. I made two thick layers of mocha chiffon cake and spent long hours of decorating it.It was not the perfect cake, I admit. The marshmallow icing was not iced smoothly but my ever-loving husband praised it to the hig heavens! hehe!

the cake is leaning! wonky...

I also made mini cakes and cupcakes

david russel baptismal cake

For my godson DAVID RUSSEL MEJIA RUEDA, I made a carrot-walnut fondant cake and lots of cupcakes in butter and chocolate flavors. I also made him lots of chocolate lollipops for his christening party to the delight of his guests, kids and kids-at-heart alike.

Florence wedding cake

This is the cake I made for my friends Edgar and Florence wedding last October 21, 2007.
Three-layer chocolate fondant cake, the top layer is six inch-round by 4 inch-high, the second layer is 10x4 and the bottom layer which is the only layer edible is size 14 x4.

My First Fondant Cake

This is the cake my friend Dindin and I made for my brother's wedding in December 2006.

I baked the banana-chocolate chip cake and Dindin helped me covered it with rolled fondant.

Hah, if not for Dindin's help, I would never make this cake a success. She's the first one who personally and painstakingly taught me about fondant. Until now, whenever I need help, Dindin is just a text away.

My sister in-law liked this cake. Ah, thanks! I know this is so simple but I couldn't risk making a more elaborate cake.

My Sister's Birthday Cake

This is a banana-chocolate fondant cake I made for my sister Espie when she celebrated her birthday last October.

I wish to give her a gold bracelet as a gift but I think, making a cute cake for her is sweeter, plus definitely cheaper, hehe.

I believed she appreciates her cake a lot because she didn't take a bite on this but packed it nicely and brought to her officemates in Laguna, which is about four to four and a half hours drive from here in Nueva Ecija.

And I was told that her cake after receiving admiration from fellows vanished in a snap. To my understanding, it meant they enjoyed my cake and found it yummy. Mmmm...

Pablita Cakes, finally!

This is a long time dream to have a cake business.

Though not the conglomerate type, actually, a little cake shop in a little town, I believe Pablita Cakes is going to be a stable home business.

It's been over a year since I accepted made-to-order cakes for all occasion. And I didn't have a name for my home business. First, I called it All About Cakes, then I changed it to Sugar Passion, then Cakes by Jamaica, then Cake Ni Mica, which is similar to Cakes by Jamaica.

Finally, after much deliberation from family members, we concluded in having it called Pablita Cakes.

It's like a tandem of a grandpa and a very cute lil girl, hehe. I got the name from my daughter's second name, a female variation of my father's name Pablito.
