Come Dine In

My very first attempt to make a 2 tiered cake was for hubby’s 30th simple birthday celebration at home. It was a ferrari themed cake – with red, black and white as the main color – inspired by Andrea’s SweetCakes. I must say he was quite impressed, he doesn’t have much choice does he?

We had the typical pinoy menu like pancit for long life as they say, lechon kawali, camaron rebusado (mostly like shrimp tempura), crispy fried squid rings (calamari), lechon paksiw, sweet ‘n sour fish, plus our good friend Cathy brought some of her yummy homemade puto (it’s like rice cake shaped like an american muffin) and maja blanca. He got really nice gifts from our friends – Jay & Kaye gave him 2 fridge magnets and a Super Dry shoes, and Migs & Lovely gave him office shirt from Gap. Alyssa was thinking of the best gifts for father, so he came up with her own birthday card. Sweet she is! Me? Uhhmm… never mind. I didn’t bother for another surprise.
