Angelynna's 6th Birthday

7:26 pm 0 Comments

Angelynna was celebrating her 6th birthday on Dec. 30, 2015. On that day, she was really sad because she felt nobody remember her birthday. She asked me if she could go with me at work. I granted her wish to come to work on that day because I knew what she felt and thought that nobody cares to mention or sing a birthday song.

I observed her the whole day, she tried to smile and pretend to be happy. At her age, I thought she cried that easily and also thought that she forgot her birth date but I was totally wrong.

At 5:20 PM, when the children in my care and I went to the other classroom waiting for their respective parents to pick up, I never seen Angelynna nowhere in the daycare, I became so worried. I thought, she followed us! I went back to the classroom when I heard somebody's crying inside. My heart melt as I saw her crying on the corner of the classroom. I asked her what what had happened, she simply said "nobody love's me" she sobbed... I told her how much I love her, the reason why I did not prepare her a birthday party because I was working however, I will make it up the next day on the 31st. By saying it, she stopped crying and started to smile and hugged me so tight.

One more she requested was the Clawdeen Monster High Birthday Cake. Although, this time she had no visitors but I can feel how happy she was.

Here's the video of her 6th birthday celebration.

3-Tiered Yellow 80th Birthday Cake

Three Tiered 80th Birthday Cake with yellow fondant roses

This cake is one of the best cakes I ever made so far. Hehehe, I am so proud! This was heartily baked and decorated for my loving aunt Mama Eda for her 80th birthday on the 20th of September. It was really my honor to make the cake. When my cousin contacted me to do this craft, I was so happy. For me this was just like more than a gift because making this huge cake made me realized that truly I can do cake decorations and experienced a new way of creative thinking. Well, of course I did some researched on how to stack the cakes, making flowers and the figurine.

The roses were made of mixed fondant and gumpaste. I made all of those ahead of time to make it hard. The figurine was made of just fondant. I'm having a hard time making that figurine; it took me a while to figure it out how to make a granny looks. The lovely granny figurine that holds flowers setting on a lovely fondant chair surrounded with yellow flowers added to the great looks of my cake which made me very proud. The butter cream icing grass made the cake stand out.


 The flavors of the cake were mocha and buko pandan as my cousin Criselda requested. I never had a taste on it but I heard comments from my cousins and some other guests. At the party, one of the guests who seated beside me said to the woman beside him (Ithought is his wife), he doesn't like chocolate cake, so he pushes the cake away from him. While I was listening at their conversation, the woman told the guy, just taste it! So the man tasted the cake a little bit and his reaction made me so happy and content because he liked it then he asked for more cake LOLz...

Mama Eda was very happy when I presented the cake for her and so I am very happy too.

An Amazing Piece of Art

6:52 pm 0 Comments

This was my midterm project in my Artistic Expression course last semester. This was made of homemade play dough. Accompany with this project is an essay.

Here's my Essay

An Amazing Piece of Art

               One of the most prominent competitions here in Montreal is a horticultural art. This year’s 2013 exposition theme is “Land of Hope” where the main objective is to let everyone know the importance of preserving the richness of life on earth and the Mosaiculture were displayed at Montreal Botanical Garden that lasted for three months. These sculptures were created using steel and aluminum forms that were wrapped in a metal mesh, filled with earth and planted with flowers, ivies and grasses to provide textures and colors. Since, I went in the museum late there were only a few that I’ve seen and among of the arts that I totally amazed was “The Man Who Planted Trees”. It was a giant sculpture. This was created by the group of horticulturists in Montreal and a member of Mosaïcultures Internationales de Montréal, an organization who made the event possible. The sculpture is being honoured to a shepherd in a story who planted trees and bring back the life of the ruined landscape of the abandoned valley in France in the early 20th century. This amazing piece of art I’ve chosen consists of 800,000 individual plants according to the man I had spoken on the site and the flowers that were planted were mostly in the Alternanthera plants family with different colors from the hat to his back, arms, hands, legs except the neck line and in the middle of the vest which I thought were silver falls and silver mist plants. His beards were Stipa tenuissima plants, I am not really sure but what I am pretty sure, those were grasses.

The actual sculpture at the Botanical Garden Montreal
As I look closely to the giant sculpture I was fascinated every detail and the beauty of it. The elements of arts were widely distributed throughout the creature which provides a jaw-dropping piece of arts. What are the elements of arts? These are the visual component which artists used in order to emphasize their creativity, analyze, communicate and become realistic. 

The elements are;

Ø  Shape – I may say that the sculpture have a dominant patterns since the artists used shaping techniques. It consists of geometrical and irregular figures. Like for example, the hat has circle and cylindrical figure, I can see triangles and rectangle in his arms, straight line and some irregular patterns in some parts.
Ø  Light – Since this was a plant sculpture, the light was being expressed by shiny part of the plants and the plants itself.
Ø  Color – The color of this sculpture were mostly green and mixed with red, yellow and brown.
Ø  Texture – The surface have both soft and rough since the plants used were mostly Alternanthera where in some leaves of this plant has rough and some have smooth.
Ø  Space and mass – It is by default that this sculpture has both space and mass, because these are three dimensional piece of art.
Ø  Line – Pertaining to this element I can say yes I can see lines. The artist emphasized clearly the edges that for me those were lines.
This giant and mounting living artwork was a really beautifully made. The artists or horticulturists who created this huge flower sculpture were trying to convey a message to everyone about the significant in flower gardening aside from promoting great attractions. The group of horticulturist were motivated from the story about the man who planted trees during the 20th century. They tried to bring back this kind of motivation to everyone that there is nothing impossible if we are determined to do things for the environment. Thoughtful eco-awareness was being imposed and brought as the artist’s skillfully interpreted that our ecosystem is endangered and that we need to protect them by planting more trees and flowers. The horticulturists retell the story through creating this jaw-dropping piece of arts that there’s always hope in everything.

My feeling towards the art was I am really mesmerized when I looked at this giant creature. I can never imagine how much hard work they put in it. The details of this piece were totally awesome and skillfully designed and planted very carefully and thoroughly. I stayed there for at least half an hour, analyzing and relating myself how this creature helped in promoting the theme. Did the artists relay the message correctly? Did the people understand what it meant? I asked two persons who were on site that also fascinated the arts like me about their opinions and we end up of the same feelings, idea and understanding about the art. The art represents hard work, motivation, love and dedication towards the environment.

Birthday Cake Basket Weave Design

Birthday Cake Basket Weave Design
My friend (Jean) ordered this basket weaved design birthday cake for her mother in law. This was made in a rush hour. I felt so worried that she may not like the cake but I got a good feedback that the celebrant liked the cake very much.


2captchaThe cake was Vanilla cake filled with strawberry jam. I got the recipe from cake boss website. Anyhow, this was the second time I tried the Basket-weave technique in decorating cake. Looking at the design, its looks very simple and easy to do however, it’s not really easy, it really need more careful because you might forget whether vertical or you are already in the horizontal line. As new to this technique I forgot several lines but I managed to hide it with some decorations like the flowers or the leaves on it or around it.

The flowers I made were a combination of butter cream icing, royal icing and gum-paste. In my experienced, it is really not good idea to decorate cake in a rush because if you make mistake there will be no time to fix it. Fortunately in my case I have made several royal icing flowers and gum-paste flowers so it turned it very handy.

By the way, thanks to my friend Jean who trusted and gave me an opportunity to explore my creativity.
