One Divan Day




Last Wednesday we were tasked to build a divan in one day. This was for an impromptu photo shoot for a high profile shampoo product (for Thursday). A divan by the way is a long low sofa usually without a back or arms, typically placed against a wall, much like a daybed or settee. This was for the production design team of my hubby, Che. With my college background in interior design and sheer determination we were able to pull it off in less tan 8 hours. We had two covers made one in velvet black and one in grey.

Sk8r Kaya


Kaya bought a skateboard with some of her Christmas cash. She's been practicing how to do an "ollie" for a couple of days now. We have been hanging out at Bonifacio High Street so she can practice with her skateboard. The guys at Stoked were very helpful, they gave her tips and even tuned up her board for free.

Golden Wedding



We celebrated the Golden Wedding Anniversary of my parents last Decmber 21, 2008.
I made the wedding cake and cupcakes for the affair. It was my first attempt at making a pound cake with butter cream frosting. I also flavored it using Rum. So I guess I can call it, a "Pound Butter Cream Frosted Rum Cake".
