Yummy Chocolate Cake

Yummy Chocolate Cake

I call it yummy chocolate cake because my daughter always says when she take a bite of it, " Mama, yummy!"

The recipe is very popular on the web. It comes in different names but I think the original (correct me if I'm wrong) is Hershey's Perfect Chocolate Cake.

Some bakers just adjust some of the ingredients to their preference. That's what I think judging from the numerous sites I have visited by googling it. Some sites really attest to it. They call it the Best Ever Chocolate Cake.. Ever!

Try it and see for yourself.

The picture above has less frosting to show how dark and moist the chocolate cake is.

These cupcakes were the product of my piping practice session.. and the camera used was from a mobile phone so pardon how bad the quality is.

Here's another recipe I like. It is kinda same like the recipe of hershey's.

Nursery Kids Swimming Party

2008-03-29T07:16:00.000-07:00

Notice the height of the water in the swimming pool? That's customized for our little swimmers. They had a break from school and an early summer treat last March 18, 2008. One Jeepney full of nursery kids with their mommys, lolas, lolos and yayas. Their teacher, Miss Amie, was there too. We had to force her to come (joke) errr... we had to borrow her from her loads of schoolwork so the children can be with her. Present were John Vincent Bullozo, Charles Maddela, John Loyd Carbonell, Kyle and Kristian Marinay (twins), Eryll Bachine, Deanne Bamba, Tonee Domingo, Gweneth Duldulao, Jemjem Nicolas, Jeanise Laporga, Kailin Lian and of course, Jaenie Jaye.

Jemjem celebrated her 4th birthday celebration at the resort so foods were not a problem, and there were a lot! As usual, again(!) we resorted to plastic system. The "pabaon" style of Filipinos where food were put into plastics (PE) so there won't be leftovers.

Funny thing is, since graduation is but a few days to go, some guardians for that matter, wont let their child swim under the hot scorching sun for fear of skin darkening. Some won't even allow the child to swim for more than an hour for fear that the child might catch a cold or flu. While their classmates were having fun in the water, three children were sad sitting with their guardians. It's summer, it's an outing and the water is just so inviting for a very hot and humid day. Well there's always a next time. Have Fun everyone! Summer's the season to have a little color ehhhmmm.... tan!

Crazy over Jollibee

2008-03-29T07:01:00.000-07:00

Children go crazy when they see the Jollibee mascot. Chaos break loose and all the children want to be with the mascot. They want to hug him, hold him, and boy, all wanted to take a picture with him. We can't tell them that its just a big stuffed toy and there is a real person inside. Let's not burst their bubble.
A cousin of my child celebrated his first birthday and christening and his parents had a Jollibee party for him. As with any party, there were games, prizes and food too. It's not just the children who were happy, we parents were happy too. Happy to see our children happy.

Jaenie's 4th Birthday!

2008-03-18T19:56:00.000-07:00

We celebrated Jaenie's birthday last March 12, 2008 in Jolibee. Picture taken with Mama Viol, ate Te'a and Kuya Jappi.
They had a great time. We ordered some chickenjoy for the kids, spaghetti and some burgers too. The Simbala cousins were so excited to play that they can't concentrate on eating their orders. Jaenie's father called the moment we were there so it seems that he was present too.
Next time it's going to be a real Jollibee Birthday Party.
