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. 
YES! Hooray! Yahoo! Wooah! hahaha!!!
Temporary, because the original will be posted. Hoping to receive it within the day until tomorrow. 
Isn’t it obvious that I am just too happy??? LOL But yeah, I really am. I took the course in about 2 hours, took the exam, and voila! I PASSED! I really thought I can perfect the exam, but d*mn! I got 3 mistakes! haha! Forgot the bacteria the comes from open wounds when got contact with food as well as the purpose of the blue bandage to be used with it. The other mistake, I forgot what it was about. But what’s important is I now have a certificate for Food Hygiene. Once my kitchen is checked and approved, I’m good to go. Does it mean I have to welcome dark circles again? Well, as of this moment, I am welcoming them with open arms. Praying for orders to flood my mailbox. I can’t wait to see what else can my hands make – will I even be able to create 3D figures? That, we have to look forward to.
Sorry guys, it’s cake again for this week. But hey! Did you see the featured entry on this week’s FTF? weew!!! I’m so so so happy! Thanks Marz Willa for picking my last week’s cake.
Been really eager to try the stripes/ribbons-effect. I’m not too happy with the outcome of this, though a lot of my friends are and yeah, my hubby too. He said this is really nice and I felt like he’s saying the truth. 
But then, I didn’t have enough fondant on hand to add more decorations and since it’s only for practice, I didn’t want to bother myself to make some more, knead and color. At least I was able to suit my cravings for this kind of design.
