yumi castrillo's cupcakes

 

Though we already have a cake supplier, we still met with Ms. Yumi Castrillo last April 17 at Valle Verde Country Club. I'm still thinking of gifts for my entourage and if we choose to give them cupcakes, at least I already have an option. :) Yumi was very pretty and friendly also. :) I discovered that she was also Atenean from college to law school. :) (yeah, Go Ateneo!) She gave us 6 cupcakes to taste: vanilla with white chocolate buttercream, chocolate with dark chocolate buttercream, shake your bonbon (chocolate with nutella/praline buttercream), carrot with white chocolate buttercream, sleepless in manila (coffee with java chip buttercream) and blueberry with white chocolate buttercream. they all tasted good, sarap talaga! my favorites are the blueberry and vanilla cupcakes. we also discussed our cupcake tower design and she was very open to ideas. she also gave us a customized package if we opt not to have so much flowers on our tower since our wedding theme is movie premier night. she also treated us to a snack but I wasn't able to have a bite of the club sandwich because her cupcakes tasted better of course, haha!  

Baking is just her hobby and she works hands-on on her cupcake towers that's why she can only handle one event per day. She even does the frosting on the spot! (galing no?) Al enjoyed the cupcakes, also. busog na naman kami :)
