Introduction and My Mother's Birthday Celebration
Greeting to everyone here in the Hindwhale Community, I am @yoieuqudniram from the Philippines and I guess this is the first time I posted in the amazing community.
I am an office staff and I had been very busy with life and work but I really love to write especially when I get stressed because it is my only outlet and I have no one to tell everything to. I hope this community will welcome me.
I am a mother of 3 wonderful children as well and soon I will be sharing our lives here as well as the wonderful things we will have.
But for today, I planned on sharing with you all the wonderful time I had experienced when my mother's birthday came.
That's my mother in the above picture, she never allow us to take portraits of her because she is very shy.
The day of her birthday was the usual day we had, I greeted her and she said "thank you but my birthday is on 27th". It's normal for me to hear this from her because she avoids being greeted. Her birthday on her Birth certificate is on 13th but her uncle says it was on 27th and was sure of it because he wrote it in his diary.
I went to work at 8am but got home early to help my sister who baked her a cake and to help with other chores as well.
The cake
My sister made a chocolate cake and also made a caramel and a boiled icing to decorate it with. y sister is really good at baking but she only bakes when she like to. I am very glad she baked a cake during my mother's birthday and it really meant my mum was special for her.
I am intrigued on how she made her cakes and watched her make boiled Icing. she put egg whites and mixed it using a hand mixer and then added the caramelized sugar
To make decorations, she added color to her icing and mixed them thoroughly.
The food colorings came in very tiny bottles and they are so cute to watch
Pink icing looks very cute
My sister then decorated the sides of the cake with white icing, but she asked me to do the lettering because she said she doesn't know how to.
Piping bags are filled with icings, ready for cake decoration
No one else would do the lettering so I practiced on the plate at first, showed it to my sister and said it will do, hehe.
I finally wrote on the cake and look at it not aligned! I definitely need lots of practice and need confidence. But all in all, the cake looks very nice and I even added a heart shape in it to show that we love our mother. But not only the cake looks nice but tastes very delicious as well.
Anyway, my sister assigned me and my husband to work on the meat for dinner, My husband helped me slicing them and I assisted on the kitchen.
I was not able to take pictures of the next happenings because I got so busy with helping in the kitchen and tending to my kids as well.
My mum was very happy with the simple celebration we made for her and I wish I caught it in my phone camera. It was a wonderful day to celebrate the strongest, kindest woman I ever known in my whole life and seeing her happy makes me happy as well.
This will be all for my blog today Thank you so much for your time and support
