Sweet November

Forgive me for blowing my own toot... I have to do this. =) This cake is extra meaningful for us... It is our first time to do an international delivery and it is for my good friend Mavelle and Jairus' wedding.

This wedding was first slated for May 2010. Though I said yes, it was half hearted. I'm sorry for that Maves. We just moved in to our new home and we weren't financially ready to travel, that is the three of us. Ace gave the go signal that I could go alone but I just couldn't go through it. Chos!

It was providential that the wedding was moved to November of 2011. It gave us more time to work and save. I guess we are blessed, the heavens helped us. =)




Off we go. Three weeks of touring Hawaii, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas and San Francisco. Snippets of our tours deserves another post. =) I'll do that some other day.

We arrived in chilly SanFo on the 8th at 4 in the afternoon. Ace and I went straight to work, that is to bake 300 cupcakes and the big cake for the 10th. 20 hours including sleep time for everything? Oh my my! We have to finish everything on the 9th by lunch for we are attending the rehearsal dinner, a schedule to the salon. Yay!

We needed all the help we could get. I'm so glad that Mavelle's aunts and sisters were there. Junel- Mave's best friend, our fellow UP-ean, who travelled from the Philippines to SanFo to witness this event also helped.

At this beautiful vineyard. Palms Events Center. I hope I got that right.







Isn't it a beauty?




This is the dessert bar. The cupcakes were displayed here. Speechless! Utterly glam. Fabulous to the nth level.

Not only was this delivery special for it was our first abroad, but also because of this...

Indeed, this was a sweet November. =)
