Cakes

Last summer we were on a caking spree. Mum launched Cake Garden this year. I made the logo, her business card, the gallery and the Cake Garden blog.

Mum taught me everything on baking. I admire her passion for cakes and pastries. Her passion for cakes and pastries started very early. Back then, they were not as fortunate as us. She always wondered how a cake tastes like. She said she'd cut out pictures of cakes from magazines and newspapers and copy their respective recipes. Even though she finished a degree in Civil Engineering her heart always belonged to baking.

Cake Garden is the fine pastry baking we envisioned almost 20 years ago. What started as a “cheese cupcake” alternative business, may now finally find a home in Bohol – at barangay Bool of the capital city of Tagbilaran. Nestled on a hill overlooking the Dauis strait, the location offers our classic cheese cupcake and cakes of all sorts, baking education and also a majestic view of the Bohol Sea, Pamilacan island, the eastern part of Panglao island, and on a clear day, the island of Siquijor and even far Mindanao.

Cake Garden Business Cards

Cake Garden was originally Cake Land but due to the unavailability of the name, Cake Garden was suggested. I think it's also fitting since gardening is also her second love.

Mum's Garden

We do everything we can to support our dear mother who have worked hard on this.  She's dug  through books and magazines to discover new techniques and recipes.  I think she may have perfected the Leche Flan, a known Filipino dessert.  I don't know how many times she tried changing the ratio of egg whites and yolks just to have the perfect texture and taste.

My brother and I do everything we can to make promotional videos on our own.  Here are the videos we made over last summer and these are the Cake Garden Favorites.

Symbolism

Philippine Flag Symbolism Let's be honest now.  How many of you did not know behind the symbols of our national flag?  Just so you know, it is a fact that everybody lies.  Anyway, probably you are wondering why I am posting in such a nationalistic tone when independence day was almost three months behind?  Well, that makes us both.  A thought just struck me when I saw the commercial segment of Juan Time in discovery channel.

Parley

I'm pretty sure you've read James Soriano's infamous article " Language, Learning, Identity, Privilege " which garnered him mostly criticism from people who live in front of their keyboards netizens.  I know some of you are probably making or joining hate pages on Facebook, seriously, grow up. I have edited this post for the nth time because there are still thoughts and ideas that need to sink in.  Also, I made a decision not to post or react when I am angry or pissed.  Sure, I was pissed when I first read the article.  Who wouldn't be?  But I just officially turned 28 and I need to act, you know - civilized.  You've got filter the facts and try to address the issue on how personally you can change for the better as a person.  I only found two response articles via Twitter:  " Editing James Soriano " and " Coming Home to the Filipino Language ".  If you have any article or known any worth-reading article you can message me here or

Paradise

T he province of Bohol is one of the most visited places in our country. Foreign and local tourists alike flock to this " God's Little Paradise " to see it's nature, beauty, beaches and culture. I have a dedicated Bohol blog at Bohol Interactive to showcase the province through the community. Last January I featured Massimo Casal , a photographer now based on Indonesia but has his fair share of Bohol, his travel article and book project . Just last week, I got another heads up that he is currently on a new project, a " Photo Book on Bohol ". I get to see the amazing sights of Bohol both popular and the unexplored in his 39-page preview. Dive Bohol Massimo studied as an engineer. His work has given him the opportunity to travel around the world and particularly around Southeast Asia. Through his travels he has cultivated his love for photography. He also has great sets from Hanoi , Vietnam , Myanmar , Cambodia , Thailand , Taiwan , Europe and
