Cake Tasting at Honey Glaze Cakes


Alright folks, let me just make it clear here....we're not planning another wedding -- instead, we are prepping for a joint birthday celebration for our kids!!! That's right, plural na mga tsong - KIDS!!! Gaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! Hahahaha...

Little E will soon be celebrating his first birthday and I can't seem to wrap my mind around this milestone. Like the say, ang bilis talaga ng panahon! :) Of course, Little Miss Z is joining on in the celebration for they share the same birth month.

The reason I had to clarify is because our cake baker, Honey Glaze Cakes, is actually quite a known wedding cake supplier. In fact, I have really wanted to book them way back in 2012 for our very own wedding. But we were so short on time and had just 90 days to prepare, and of course we wanted to maximize our budget then, so we stuck with the "free" cake from our caterer...which was after all, A CAKE we were able to cut, but not something that was enjoyable nor delectable..hahaha..sorry na! :D

Since I only had a couple of months to prepare for this party, I tried to stick it out with our trusted suppliers but at the same time, I also wanted to explore other suppliers. I have contacted 2 other suppliers for this project but the other 2 did not reply anymore after seeing the cake inspo. I thought they were just too busy with Christmas orders so I inquired na rin with Honey Glaze. I really wasn't expecting it but they replied immediately! Di ba??? That's why ekis na the other 2 suppliers hehehe..

Since I 've heard nothing but GOOD feedback about Honey Glaze Cakes then we proceeded with our inquiry and booked a meeting and cake tasting with them immediately the day after Christmas. It was after all a spur of the moment inquiry and I told them it's okay if we will not have the cake tasting but what do you know, they immediately served the Belgian Chocolate Cake and Carrot Walnut Cake. No disrespect to the carrot cake (which was also very delectable) BUT BUT BUT the Belgian Chocolate Cake is indeed love love love!!!!! :D Aaaaahhhhh...You can see from the picture that they served two slices of each flavor and I mean it when I say I would've lapped it up immediately while Daddy A was busy fixing the car's parking hahahaha...*ssssshhhh!!* Okay, I didn't do that because #1 Dyahe, they have CCTV hahahaha and #2 somewhere deep in my conscience, I really wouldn't do that to Daddy A -- but I almost did! Huhuhu ...am I that bad? Hahaha..

It really is a clear winner and I probably stop sharing about the party cake details but YOU, should really try their Belgian Chocolate Cake when you have your next celebration. 

Ay, nakakakilig....even if it's not for a wedding *wink, wink!*

PS Thank you so much Ms. Marge for our impromptu meeting and cake tasting and you don't know how much happiness your pa take-out na cake slices gave me...Of course, I shared it with Miss Z at home! hehehehe :D
