Princess Sofia Cake and Cupcakes | Simple and Easy

It's been 6 months since I uploaded a video on my YouTube channel. I have been busy with my job, as I am also working online. 

I had a few saved videos recorded. Some are new recipes, and some are cake decorating, but unfortunately, the laptop's hard drive crashed. Sad they are gone. When I started the new job, I never could record some of my work, and I slowly began not receiving orders anymore. 

But one of my customers booked a set of cakes and cupcakes for December 26th. I took this chance to record this.

No extraordinary work for this. Just a simple design made of chocolate cake and boiled icing. Toppers are printed on glossy photo paper, and Sofia is the typical figurine I had a few months ago.

This is a 7x4 inch chocomoist cake with 2 dozen 2 oz chocomoist cupcakes. 

Check the video on how I did it: Princess Sofia Cake and Cupcake.

Let me know what you think about my comeback cake decorating. 

Snake Plant Cake for Plantita and Plantito

Dahil nauso ng husto ngayong pandemic ang pag-aalaga ng halaman, nauso rin ang cake na may themed na halaman o mga bulaklak. 

Nakagawa na rin ako ng ilang cake na may themed na "plantita." 

Snake Plants, bagama't noon pa man uso na rin dahil it is also categorized as one of the common household plants. It purifies air daw and eliminate odors. Kaya naman hindi kataka-taka na gawin din itong cake.

For those who are in least budget, mabigyan lang ng cake ang isang celebrant ay pwede na ang printed toppers. 

Cake is made of Chocolate Moist. Icing is Boiled Icing. Cake crumbs naman for soil like design sa top.

This way, maipapakita nila kung gaano kaimportante sa kanila ang celebrant and their hobby, too.

It makes them so special, isn't it?

For those co-bakers, heto ang photo na pwede nyong gamitin for your cake topper.

Wala ng background and ready to print. Use a photopaper para mas maganda.

How to make Nilupak na Cassava

Nilupak is one of the famous delicacies of Filipino which is made from Cassava. It has only four main ingredients: Cassava, Condensed Milk, Sugar, and Melted Butter.

When I was young, I would always buy a slice of nilupak whenever me and my late grandma went to palengke. It was being sold per piece or per cube.

My cousin just gave me raw cassava or kamoteng kahoy which is one of their crops. About 2 kilos of them. 

Noong una, I thought doing pichi-pichi pero wala akong niyog pa. Nagsearch ako kung ano ano ang madali at less ingredients na pwede kong gawin out of kamoteng kahoy. Surprisingly, nilupak which is one of my favorites, madali lang palang gawin. Madami lang effort.

Ingredients for Nilupak:

• 1 kg Cassava or Kamoteng kahoy
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup Condensed Milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine
• Cheese for toppings

Instruction:

• Peel off the skin of cassava and wash.
• Cut into small portion.
• Steam of 40 minutes in medium fire or until the cassava is soft.
• Mash the steamed cassava.

                       3 ways:

Through Fork

Through Potato Masher

Through Food Process

Or through Mortal and Pestle.

• 
  Add the butter, sugar and milk and combine.

• After it was mixed and combined, put it in buttered pan, pressing down to evenly distribute.

And finally, serve with love! ❤❤
