Te esconder, desaparecer, nunca

"To hide to you, to disappear, never"



Every time I listen to this song whether it's a rainy or stressful day, it never fails to lift my mood. I close my eyes and pretend I'm in the beach - there's the clear blue water, I can smell the salty air coming from the ocean, I hear the sound of waves and the sound of trees when the wind blows. Ahhhh... the good life!


I hope everyone will have a great and extraordinary day when you listen to this song!

For Yolanda Survivors

Monday:

I started my week with an order of 200 cupcakes for Tuesday, a dozen of cookies and another two dozens for Wednesday. The 200 cupcakes is for an art exhibit to be held on Tuesday - the major proceeds of this art exhibit will go to the Yolanda survivors. It's really for a great cause! 

Patiently waiting for the other cupcakes to bake in the oven...
24 out of 200 Dark Chocolate cupcakes

Voila! (A sample)
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.. yum!


Tuesday:

My friends and relatives ordered red velvet cupcakes (My made-from-scratch cream cheese frosting is sooooo good!) Everyone is digging on this cupcake.


All set!


Banana Walnut Bread



Yesterday had been productive unlike the previous days. I went to my alma matter - fixed my school papers then hung out with my close high school friend. It was very fun catching up with her after many months of not sitting down on the same table, eating lunch and chatting with her. After that, I planned to bake my Banana Walnut Bread (this is probably the best thing I baked so far).


Cooling for five minutes

This is very very delicious especially with a hot coffee

Also, since my grandmother's brother passed away, I decided to bring it at the wake so that I can contribute something. I was very nervous because the second time I baked this I forgot to toast the walnuts - it didn't taste good it was dry. So this time I made sure I incorporated all the ingredients and toasted the walnuts (I don't want to let them eat something that's not worth eating). I don't want to commit any mistakes this time though it was over baked but everyone really loved it! I was surprised with the comments I received from the people at the wake. I didn't expect that they'll love it because I over baked my bread.

I baked this with all my heart - for my relatives especially our 'lolo'.

I hope someday I get to bake more different breads. I'd love to see people smile when they eat my breads, that's one of the best things in the world ever.
