My New Velvet Confections Site

I finally got my Velvet Confections site going -- also on Multiply. Please check it out at http://velvetconfections.multiply.com. This is where I will post my baked goodies, some for sale and some for personal consumption -- haha!. I will also review several cake/pastry places so you'll know where to get your sweet treats. Of course, this is highly dependent on budget -- it is expensive to eat out nowadays. So, do visit and leave me a note!

Latest Baked Goodies

It will be almost a year now since I started baking last January. I'm very pleased with the many things I've learned about it and I'm simply thankful for the opportunities God has blessed me with.

I now bake Choco Brownie Overload (P70/box of 6) which you can order online or through text. They are extra gooey and have cashew nuts and white choco chips in them - a truly decadent delight. I accept a minimum order of 5 boxes per person.

I have also added new packaging for my cookies, and have recently delivered two of them to a friend for her to give as gifts to others. The cookies (PBO - Peanut Butter Oatmeal) in a large gift basket is P1,000 (100 pcs) while the same cookies in the smaller round anahaw box is P600 (500 pcs). They are unique gift ideas for the coming holidays.

Hubby is 41!

God is good!!! He gave hubby and me another year together. It was a quiet October 20th for both of us and we just stayed home while I tried to finish his fondant birthday cake -- Caramel Cake. Since I forgot to buy blue food color, I ended up creating a lavender fondant (MMF or marshmallow fondant) cake and had fun with my new Wilton cookie and fondant cutters -- haha!

We did have dinner at the Old Spaghetti House in Festival Mall. It's just too bad our rice meals were lackluster. Word of advice -- just order the pasta (spaghetti) they are more known for. We ordered Chessy Cheesy Chicken (for me) and Pesto Crusted Chicken -- both new recipes. The rice was a disaster (soggy) and the pesto chicken was blah! However, we are thankful for the opportunity to celebrate together in a nice resto. We just wished we ordered pasta instead.

The next day, the church office staff gave hubby a nice simple eat-together. We enjoyed the hot and crispy turon (check it out at the QC Hall), Pansit Malabon, biko and ice cream. Oh, and I brought the cake. Thank you Tita Doe and everyone at the office for a nice and very sweet gesture to my very special hubby!
