Make our Father's Day Delightful with Goldilocks

Make this Father’s Day the best ever by giving your dad a day that shows him just how important and loved he is.

Make him feel special by telling him how much he means to you—as a partner and as the father to your children. 

One part love, another part fatherly wisdom, add a sprinkling of corny jokes and you have the basic formula for a dad. The equation may be straightforward, but don’t take that to imply simplicity, because as many of us know, raising a child takes a lot of work! 

Father’s Day is time where we strive to show the men who raised us how much we appreciate and love them, because despite their responsibilities and hectic schedules, they have always given their time, love, and support to us.

You don't have to spend a lot of money on extravagant gifts, your gratitude and love are the greatest gifts you can give him this Father's Day.

So what can we do to show the dads of the world how much they mean to us? With every passing year, Father’s Day arrives with the annual panic of trying to find a last minute gift that we desperately hope doesn’t look like a last minute gift.

Thus, instead of a goofy tie, why not indulge your dad’s sweet tooth? Apart from the Chocolate Caramel Decadence – a luscious chocolate fudge cake filled with gooey caramel – Goldilocks Bakeshop also offers a range of gifts that will give any father a perfect end to a work-filled day. Exquisitely delicious, affordable, and true to the Pinoy spirit, there’s truly no better way to fill your dad’s heart with joy. 

It is said that the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and the country’s best-loved bakeshop certainly abides by this. Indeed, Goldilocks gifts are a scrumptious way to celebrate a special day, and put a smile on your father’s face.

Recreational and designing cake at The Cookery Place

I really enjoy the world of recreational cake designing held at The Cookery Place last September 25, with my friends and baking enthusiast. Thanks to Bake Essence for introducing and providing Fondarific, LorAnn oils, Make and Mold candy melts and we tried them in designing cake and cupcake. 

Here, we created something amazing, in this cake decoration lessons.  As the start with the design we want - think of an exciting design for cake for any party, celebration and as gift, and follow step-by-step instructions and tips, gave by Chef Jan of The Cookery Place. 

First, we prepare cake, as we put and cover the cake with thin butter cream, roll out fondant and cover cake. Smooth fondant over details on cake and trim at bottom border.

Then, thinking even beyond imagination  of what to design. Add details in our cake, position molded fondant pieces on cake.

It’s as much fun to make as it is to serve and eat.

Here are some pictures during the fun, cake designing and recreational journey we had.
