On Little One Valenzuela’s Birthday: Cake, Cookies, and Sweets (Part 1 of 3)

Cake by Mirage Cakes
“Ma, can I have a Little Mermaid cake?” asked Little One Valenzuela with pleading eyes. But Max’s package already got a cake with it! Ugh. With hubby’s approval, One Valenzuela searched the web for customized cake suppliers in Valenzuela. There she found Mirage Cakes.

Weeks before the birthday, One Valenzuela and Little One Valenzuela went to Ristoretto to meet Christine Janer, the cake artist and owner of Mirage Cakes, personally. Christine asked them for the details of the cake. One Valenzuela also gave Christine some cake images that she found online to make things a bit easier. They decided to come up with a one layer cake and 36 cupcakes based on the well known Disney film.

Come the day of the party, Christine brought the Ariel cake at the venue ahead of schedule. Whoa, it looked sooo good! The colors are so vivid and eye catching. Little One Valenzuela took her time to stare at the cake and cupcakes with awe and delight.

A closer look at the Little Mermaid themed cake by Mirage Cakes. 
The Little Mermaid themed cake was such a gorgeous work of art. If you will look closely at the photo above, high attention to detail is given to each embellishment. Mom and daughter loved every inch of the cake! On the other hand, the cupcakes were topped with various shells and starfishes. When it was time to distribute them to the guests, the cupcakes topped with Flounder (Ariel's best friend in the movie) were the first ones to go.
The cupcakes were so pretty that Abbey even got hold of the Flounder topped cupcake and asked the photographer to snap a shot.

How about the taste? It really took a while before the cake was eaten. It's too beautiful! Three days after the event, Little One Valenzuela shared the cake with a few close friends in a post party merienda. One Valenzuela carefully removed the mermaid on top before slicing the cake (PS: Saved the pretty lass! No mermaid was harmed during the process. ^_^).

Yummy noms! The cake base flavor is banana chocolate chip. One Valenzuela highly recommend that you also try this too when you order at Mirage Cakes.

Thank you, Christine for the fantastic cake and cupcakes!

Under the Sea Cookies and Chocolate Lollipops by BakeEat
To match the cake, One Valenzuela also surfed the web to look for personalized cookies and chocolate treats. She found BakeEat, owned by Ms. Aura Santos, via Sulit. Since her residence is conveniently located in Malinta, One Valenzuela easily met Aura, discussed the orders, and marveled at how cute her pink oven was!
Blue starfishes and pink clams by BakeEat
One Valenzuela took her orders a day before the party. Aura was so nice that she even made extra shell shaped chocolate lollipops and gave them for free. Thank you so much!
These set of cookies were given as tokens of appreciation to close friends and relatives who rendered sweet messages to the birthday girl. 

Pink and blue chocolate lollipops were placed in the pail.
The cookies and chocolate lollipops were wonderful additions on the DIY cookie buffet. Good thing, One Valenzuela already kept a few pieces before the party started.  The guests loved them so much that these were gone in minutes!

    1. The rate will depend po on what food package you will get and the number of persons. Around 20k and up? Better talk with Max's Valenzuela po for more accurate rates. Advance happy birthday po!

    1. Hi! Apologies for the late reply. Depende sa design at size ng cookies. About Php35 yang nasa taas noon. If I remember it right. Masarap!
