revel bars and paper cakes

some of you guys doesn't know revel bars, me either, I just recently found out what they are. They are oatmeal base and topped with chocolates (can be a flavor of your choice) and top again with 

oatmeal mixture. (compose of flour, sugar, oatmeal, butter and eggs) mostly, the chocolate filling are pressed in between of the oatmeal mixture. well, personally, i'd like to use chocolates. It's 

very gooey, fudge y and melt in your mouth feel. I was exposed to this bar, because in our cafeteria at CSB-AKIC chef's station, my friends always bake this and sell for 25 pesos per slice.

I really liked the taste and crave for more every time I go there (controlling myself not to eat more, hello fats!) so I said to myself that I had to make these bars! pooof! taaaadaaaaa... my own version of revel bars!:) 

instead of sandwiching the chocolates to oatmeal mixture, i just decided to make a crumbs out of it, I don't know, just like it better that way. so here!:) i hope you crave!:)

also selling this for a box of 5. only for 150 pesos!:) big slices and super chocolateeeeyyyyy:)

grab em' now!:)

here's for packaging!:) 

moving on..... let's go to the other dessert. I just invent the name paper cake, well originally it's a crepe cake. layered crepe filled with pastry cream (traditional way) but I made my own version, 

For the filling, I used chocolate whipped ganache, and for the coatings, I used white chocolate ganache and dust with cocoa powder. the reason that i didn't used pastry cream (pastry cream is 

the one usually use for the fillings of cream puffs and eclairs.) because i'm scared that it gets rotten, because it's made out of milk and eggs. since i'm also selling this one, i must find a good substitute to it. 

7 layered crepe :) topped with candy sprinklers. 

see that layers?;) 

packed!

so here's for tonight!:) gotta sleep coz i still have OJT tomorrow at 6!:) thanks guys for supporting me all the way!:) please, don't get tired of me? thanks!!

break

finally!!!!! hello, long break!!! it's been a while since my last post!I miss blogging! And now, I have time to re-birth my blog again! hihihi!:) uhm, waddup? where should 

i begin? so many things running in my mind right now and I don't know what to share first. 

Oh! I know! My first ever function! Debut party Masquerade theme. The staff who works in my school, approach me and said, I saw your card, and I’m interested in your products. She asked me if I do bulk orders, and I instantly said YES! I do 

bulk orders for parties and any events. She said that her cousin will be turning 18 and she wants to order 100 pcs of assorted cupcakes. I got a really HUGE smile in my 

face! I said thank you so much Ms. Michelle for trusting me! I promise to make that night a special one. So the party happened last October 26, 2012 at Aquasphere 

Malate. Good thing it was holiday so I got the whole morning to prepare. The motif was pink and violet so I decided to change the icing for my hazelnut cupcake and cookie 

dough cupcake to Marshmallow frosting and tint it with pink and violet.

Ms. Michelle asked me to bring 18 candles and I don’t have it. I was like, oh my! I 

have to buy candles, but where? I asked my nanny to go to supermarket but sadly, they don’t sell candles. I was really panicking and said that, I have to have it. She will only 

turn 18 once and I don’t want to ruin it. I want that night to be perfect for the debutant, so my mom and I left immediately after I bake to look for the candles. We went to espana (i forgot the shop) and luckily, they sell candles so hooray!! Everything 

turns great according to my plan! :)

So I arrived at the place around 4 in the afternoon to set up the center piece. The mother 

of the debutant really liked the cupcakes, it was funny because when she’s helping me arranged the cupcakes, her fingers had a bit of icing and she secretly lick the icing, and said *and sarap ah* and I felt really happy and flattered.

Thank you God! Wouldn’t do this without you!!! Thank you also, Ms. Michelle and all her family members for supporting me. Thanks for the flattering texts/comments.

Really happy you loved the cupcakes!!:) till next time!

just preparing and practicing the piece at home:)

6 am. And still have classed until 830 pm. Plus, I’m baking for my on-line shop J (will be posting about it, soon!) so, as you can see, my sched are 

really tied up! Got no sleep, eye bags all the wayL but horay for today! :) rest day for me.

So, what to blog?? Ah! I’ve made several sweets a couple of months/weeks ago, so I think I should just blog it all up here in the same page.

so, recently I've been so desperate to make chocolate shapes. I was browsing the net and saw many chocolate art! I said to myself that I gotta do this! It's 

a great gift and surprise for everyone. and, it's unique! so tadaaa, my chocolate house. yes, uneven roof! still working on it. was not able to put flowers on the side, ran out of chocolates:( I read an article that there was a 

man who made a chocolate house, and inside it, there's a ring for a girl!:) a unique proposal way. it really touched my heart I was like awwww ang sweet! i'm pretty sure if i do this again, it's way way way way better!:) 

next one, my chocolate pig, sun flowers, x-mas trees, connecting flowers and butterfly. 

planning to sell this. should I? I was thinking of mint, almond, strawberry and orange flavor. 

tell me what you guys think. I need your advice:)

yes, I made 5 different frosting on 1 cupcake:) marshmallow icing, royal icing, butter cream icing, whipped ganache, and french butter cream:) 

I really like pastel colors! it's so appealing and very calm to the eyes:) 

 so here ya go!:) 

bye for now:) got tons of school work to do:((

fondant and gum paste

Don’t get frustrated and think that you can’t do things because it looks so complicated nor think that you don’t have talents for this kind of thing. Hey, you can PRACTICE! Practice makes perfect! I, myself don’t have any talents (literally) when it comes to drawing, crafting 

and moulding. Imagine, since when I was a little girl, I can ONLY draw power puff girls without getting these girls a distorted face! J I sorta professionalize it! J Even at the present, I can’t draw properly. Sometimes, it gets distorted, uneven size, chubby and ugly. 

I get jealous every time I see a doodle on my friends’ papers and I try to do it, but I really can’t. So I end up drawing a man stick! :)

Okay, enough about the drawings! What I really want to share with you guys is about fondant and gum paste. I know some of you guys are only familiar with fondant. But basically, these 2 are like cousins! One can’t stand alone. Why is this so? Okay, Fondant is

a dough-like glue very flexible. It can be rolled out and used to cover cakes, and cupcakes. The basic element for fondant is confectioners’ sugar with the addition of 

gelatine, corn syrup and glycerine to give a flexible sugary paste.
Fondant gives the cake a good-looking porcelain look surface that can be tinted, piped, and carved.  

While gum paste used mainly for hand modelling figures and can be rolled very slim for 

petal flowers, leaves and very meticulous decorations. It is related in consistency to fondant but it dries very solid, gum paste is an edible creation and taste very bland.

For me, I like fondant more because it’s very kind and won’t give you a hard time to knead. 

Plus, it’s more delicious than gum paste. I don’t recommend you to eat it! Because it is PURE sugar!

Moving on... yesterday, I was in the mood to play with this fondant and gum paste. Just like when we were kids? We used to play clay dough. Remember? So I got really excited 

and reminisce a little. *gosh! I felt really oldL *

I decided to make a 3D SpongeBob, Christmas tree, minions, flowers, and a boy + girl.

It was really exhausting, for the reason that you have to keep on kneading and cover it so 

that it won’t become firm. Plus, my fingers were like a rainbow. Haha! I kept on washing my hands to prevent mixing of other colors in my fondant. So here!

coz I miss boyfie;( *chocolate cupcake* 

huge fan of minions! half bodied. hahaha

my oh so fake and gulat sponge bob. *vanilla cupcake*

was not able to finish this!:( i was planning to fill this cupcake

with flowers so it'll look like a bouquet!

super advance Merry Christmas guys!:)

happy shalalalalallaa:))

 Believe that you have it, and you have it.
