80th Birthday Cake Design For Male

My Father in law turned 80 this year and I volunteered myself in the cake department. I would love to create one or bake one but time is not on my side.. as well as creativity. It actually took me a while researching for the best 80th Birthday Cake Design For Male. I was ready to order a classic birthday cake for male look (think of blue, blue, and well, blue) but when my sisters in law mentioned that our father loves billiards, I knew that would be our cake.


Daily VLOG for my FIL’s 80th Birthday Celebration

Ordered this fondant billiards themed cake from SamThing Baked (click for their FB page), a reco from a mommy group where I am a member. Ordered a fondant cake plus 80 cupcakes and paid 5210 pesos for all, including the 5 tier cake tower. The cake was only 2000 pesos while the cupcakes where 2660 for 80 pcs (additional cost for the printed topper). The flavor of the cake is chocolate and the cupcake is red velvet.

My transaction with SamThing Baked is really smooth, had to commend the owner for their patience because as I have mention, our decision process for the design took long. She’s very accommodating and the taste? I love the cupcake, just the right amount of icing (not too sweet too). If I will have a party again in Caloocan or Manila area, I will definitely order again from SamThing Baked.

Perla’s main component is coconut oil and it leaves the skin well moisturized that is why it is OK to use even for sensitive skin.

Champion Bar. No wonder this soap has been around for long since it really is an effective and safe laundry soap. Moms testify that Champion bar is ok to use even though you have sensitive skin and it won’t damage your hands. Although not as effective as Perla when it comes to leaving the hands moisturized, Champion bar is easier to rinse on clothes.

Cyles is one of the laundry soap mentioned. Cycles is a brand specially made for baby clothes. It’s surprising that this brand is very mild and OK to use for sensitive skin. The real intention of the brand is as a laundry soap for sensitive skin. Other brands that are intended for baby clothes and is very mild are Tiny Buds, and Smart Steps.

 

Our Years Of Shopwise Magical Christmas

A mom from our Facebook support group asked where’s the best place to shop for Noche Buena and Media Noche and most moms answered SHOPWISE. Kahit naman ako, sagot ko din Shopwise. We have been doing our Noche Buena and Media Noche shopping sa Shopwise ever since the world begun. Even though the nearest Shopwise is in Quezon City pa, it has to be Shopwise. Why? All I need for Christmas (and New Year) celebration nasa Shopwise. From my handa to Christmas decors and some last minute Christmas gift shopping. And I am speaking from years of expereince of shopping at Shopwise a few days before the celebrations.

First Christmas sa sarili naming bahay. Syempre I want it to be as grand or as memorable as possible. We need some new Christmas decors, some new plates and the likes pero short naman sa budget kase kalilipat nga lang. Shopwise was the answer to my dilemma.

Mura kase ang Christmas decors sa Shopwise and aside from the usual decors, I was also able to buy plates, glass and table runner for Christmas.

For New Year, to complete our Media Noche fruit baskets, we always check first the fruit section in Shopwise.

I can’t remember a year that we were not able to complete the 13 fruits needed for Media Noche fruit basket since Shopwise have all the fruits, round fruits, we need.

There was a time that we decided to have wine and cheese platter for Christmas because we noticed how big the wine and cheese selection at Shopwise.

We have no wine brand preference for now so wala akong ma i sa suggest sa inyo. Pero what I can tell you is sa Shopwise, you can find the cheap wines and expensive ones. Marami kang choices. Same goes when it comes to cheese, you can buy per 100 grams.

Las Christmas naman, we invited my brother in law’s family to spend Noche Buena with us. We already have a gift for their baby girl which we brought at their house already.. but since they will be spending Christmas with us, we decided to buy her another one.

Shopwise never failed me when it comes to this area of adulting. They always have something na pwedeng ipang regalo. From toys to small house appliances, clothes and even gadgets like charger and ear phones.

And of course their wide assortment of Christmas basket that caters to our budget. They have affordable assortments and there are expensive ones din.

The best part for me is the wide range of meat that is available sa Shopwise. We can always have the steak that my kids look forward to, or the BBQ that my ate wants. Or the chicken for our macaroni salad. And speaking of, I love how Shopwise highlights ang mga pambansang panghanda like Macaroni salad and fruit salad.

Holiday Ham never runs out of supply sa Shopwise. That’s our favorite Christmas ham, sarap kase and very real ang lasa.

Shopwise has been a part of our Christmas tradition talaga. And this year will be no different. As I was checking Shopwise Facebook Page for their schedule, I saw this video:


Wide variety, wide assortment, wide selection, tingnan nyo, parehas kame ng description ni Mariel ng Shopwise.

We’re planning to do our shopping this weekend for our Noche Buena, how about you momshie? are you done with your Noche Buena shopping? Kailan kayo mamimili sa Shopwise?
