Marta's Cakes


I've heard a lot of raves about Marta Matute's cakes - I've seen quite a few and tasted only one. I liked the colorfulness of her cakes! That is what actually sets her apart from the other cake makers - the style she uses to decorate her cakes.

I read from Market Man's post that she opened shop in Serendra. I was there about a month ago - but missed it! But about 2 weeks ago - I made it a point to go and visit the place - to see what it was about.

Before I entered the shop - there was a sign at the door that said they were on dry run. And so when I entered the shop - I was expecting to see lots of people going gaga in the kitchen - kind of like what I saw in another dessert place just down the street. But alas - it was not! Instead of chaos - there was complete steady-ness. I was welcomed by a spacious restaurant - a well lit store, cute tables and chairs for adults and kids - a chiller with colorful goodies - and Ms. Marta Matute herself!

She greeted me and my Panget with a pretty smile! Introduced her products one by one as she pointed them out on the display. As always - I picked the Vanilla Mini-Cake while my panget got the Mocha Mini-Cake (because of it's orange colored icing). The person behind the counter was very courteous and friendly - she even asked us if we wanted water.

Here are the pictures of the Mini-Cakes:


Vanilla Mini-Cake with Butter Cream Icing and beside it is what it looks like in the middle - I'm sort of a neat freak - Hahaha!!


Mocha Mini-Cake with Butter Cream Icing - As you can tell, my Panget isn't!!

I liked the Mini-Cakes because they're firmer - there's more bite to it compared to a cupcake (but I still love cupcakes! - the ones that I make of course! Just Kidding!) My Panget said that when he tasted my Vanilla cake - he was amazed because - for the first time ever - he tasted the vanilla in the Vanilla Mini-Cake! Thank goodness he liked it! He's such a sweet tooth pa naman! Now - will I be going back? Most definitely! For the cakes and for the Mini-Cake Decorating activity - that should be fun! :)

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
