The celebrant was able to get their promo at Php10,500 (good for 50 people).
They arrived very early for the set-up. I like the fact that the barista's were really approachable and that they wore a uniform. All drinks were neatly arranged on the bar. Looks very nice in the pictures.
Decors:
Balloons - Ordered metallic balloons (hot pink, black, and silver) from MOA
Fabric decor for the table and cupcake - bought at the "Fabric Warehouse" (VC provided pink table covers, so we just added black fabric for accent)
Damask fabric - already had this on hand

Chocolates and clear canisters from Chocolate Lovers
Starbucks GC's for the best glam rock look
Others were bought from the mall

Aleina Sofia Turns One
Dora Themed Chocolate Cupcakes
Its my first time to make 2D toppers out of fondant. Using a regular knife, I cut out dora's hair and face. For Dora's skin I combined three colors to make a tan colored fondant. The difficult part I guess was painting the brows and the lashes. I had no fine tip brush so I just made use of a regular tip brush. The Dora topper took me like an hour to make and another half an hour spent on kneading the fondant alone. The number "1" topper was the easiest to make since I had a cookie cutter. I also made a spiraled embossed fondant as a base.

Oreo Goodness and the Girl in Pink
Sharing my own version of oreo cupcakes.
My first try in fondant molding. I had difficulty in adding the face details. Lesson learn: make sure not to stain your hands with food coloring. I accidentally stained the left cheek of the girl ^-^

A "hearty" 1st birthday (Part 1)
My baby is officially 1 year old. I am so happy her self-catered party was a blast ^-^ Everyone claimed that they enjoyed everything from the giveaways, cupcakes, choco fondue, drinks, etc.
This was definitely an impossible feat if not for my family and friends. Kudos to all of you.
Here are the party details.
Food Menu
We prepared spaghetti, chicken pastel, "Humba" a pork belly dish with boiled egg (my MIL's specialty dish), hotdog with mallows on stick, and spring roll (c/o Jm my sis-in-law). Other food items we ordered were fish relleno and cebu lechon.
For the set-up, the venue owner provided only yello and red table cloth for the buffet. We did the whole set-up and decorated the center buffet table by overlapping the yellow cloth with the red one. I also pinned on the buffet Miel's name but we forgot to take a pic. You may view the DIY banner here.
Dessert
I borrowed chocolate fountain from my gorgeous Tita Maricor and just bought ready made fondue from Chocolate Lovers. I bought 2 kilos but only used up 1 kilo. There was even a pint of fondue left-over.
Drinks
Bottomless iced tea for all. I just bought powdered iced tea (800g/pack)... ordered 2 big containers of mineral water with faucet. One for plain water and the other one for the iced tea. I borrowed a cooler for the ice cubes. We actually bought 7 packs of ice cubes at 7-eleven but I somehow overestimated . We had like 4 packs of ice cubes left.
Mobile bar - I actually mentioned in my previous post that I got boozeondmove at a discount rate purchased thru buyanihan. Though it was difficult to contact them because there were either unreachable or they don't immediately respond to your queries. All my requests were done. They arrived early and set-up fairly fast. I expected them to wear matching shirts or uniforms, it would look fairly nice for the party. But then all the guests said that it was definitely a hit. So two thumbs up to them.
Birthday Cake and Cupcakes
Labor of love by the little celebrant's mommy ^-^ So proud to say that it was my first time to make a birthday cake. For a beginner, well I think it tasted yummy according to my little one hehehe and ofcourse my family. I made chocolate cake with white frosting.
For the cupcakes, I made 3 different flavors (chocolate, red velvet, and classic vanilla) and 3 types of frosting (buttercream, cream cheese, and italian meringue). Everyone claimed it tasted yummy. Most of the guests said that their fave cupcake was red velvet with cream cheese frosting.
I was able to borrow a cupcake stand from my Tita. I just bought a styrofoamed happy birthday sign. A friend helped put red glitters since the text color was pink. I decorated the stand with black and red ribbons then used stick-on gems.
I designed and made the cupcake toppers using free cliparts and MS word ^-^ I got printable red damask toppers here.
For the cake table, I used the extra fabric I got for the photobooth backdrop as table cloth. I placed tissue pompoms I made on the table top and a cutie doll as added decors.
