Dylan's 3rd birthday-2nd cake

Here is his 2nd birthday cake that we celebrate here at our home at Cabanatuan City. Very simple and private. But he really enjoy his 2nd celebration and he was so excited to blow his candle and get his toy. Speaking of the toy, Ironman was so so out of season and I don't have time to look for it at the mall. So I looked for it at cheap toy stores in our public market and lucky me I found the only one Ironman toy which I only bought for 10 pesos. And his happiness is very priceless

Dylan's 3rd birthday-1st cake

Two days before Dylan's 3rd birthday, we go home to daddy's hometown- Bunol Guimba, Nueva Ecija. I assume that my father-in-law misses his grandson so much that he insists that Dylan will celebrate his birthday at their house. They catch some ducks at their backyard and cooked an Adobo dish. I buy 3 kilos of spaghetti, Italian with a touch of pinoy style with lots of hotdog. I also prepare Leche flan which I will post later for the recipe (which includes egg white). I also cooked Chicken Tiim- 3 whole chicken. And of course, 3-3 liters of Ice cream (all in 9 liters). Dylan enjoyed his birthday, but I compared it to his birthday celebration here at home (with the second cake) I think he enjoyed more here. Maybe it's because of his birthday cake wish- which is Ironman.

Happy birthday Tita Camil

This year, we are not able to greet Tita Camil in person. She is daddy's younger sister, youngest sibling. She is turning 13 this year, and of course teenage life welcomes her. We are hoping that she'll be better as she grows up into a beautiful lady. So, Tita Camil-be good and always obey your parents! We love and misses you! Happy birthday!

Sponge Cake (Spongebob cake) on Dylan's 2nd bday

I can't help it to put a lot of effort for Dylan's party- my 2nd year old baby last May 15, 2010. He loves spongebob and wants it to be his cake's theme. Unfortunately, mom is so busy with other things for the party. It is a good thing that Mamu is here to make the pinata and cooked the chicken balls aka chicken nuggets. Tita Lyn (my brother's ex gf) is also helpful for putting hotdog and mallows on the toothpicks. And also Ate as the ice tea master. So, I got some time to buy a smal cake at Goldilocks at around 300+ pesos and some for decorations. I found this embossed spongebob sticker at my Abubot's box. So I grab my spatula and liquid food color (blue) and started to crumpled the icing and make it look likes an ocean. I also got inspired with the chocolate blocks and pearl candies so I make it look likes a treasure chest. And of course, aquatic jelly candies and chocolate coins are a must. And add some really cute flowers brought from a local market. And the stickers look like a 3D object in there plus the cute factor of a stationery fish saying "Happy 2nd birthday Dylan"- a handwritten of mine. Also, don't forget spongebob's trademark- burgers! Dylan was so amazed with his Spongebob cake and very overwhelmed with his simple party, lots of kids and play and yummy treats from mom's kitchen!
