Steven won this chocolate cake from his work. He joined a contest during their halloween party and the prizes are cakes. He chose this German Chocolate Cake from Safeway. It’s good, I’m glad he joined. He also got me candies and chocolates. That’s the nice thing about not having kids yet, I get the goodies. LOL! I do want to have children someday.
My husband made this waffles for me and designed the heart shape with an arrow using whipped cream. He is funny. The waffles is made of white cake mix and top with strawberries and whipped cream. Yum!
I cannot tell you how delicious this recipe is from allrecipes.com. This is the most delicious coffee cake I’ve had. Butter on toppings is a bit too much but you can always adjust it.

I made this Mandarin Orange Cake last Monday when a friend of Steven came. It didn’t turn out so well but when I refrigerated it, it tasted so much better. Steven made it on my birthday and his turned out so good. The Frosting is made of cream cheese. It’s really good! This is my Yummy Sunday post.

This is my wedding cake in the Philippines. It only cost me and my husband about $70 to have this cake made. It’s really simple because we thought we do not really need a beautiful wedding cake since we are saving our money. Every layer is a different type of cake, the big one is chocolate, the others are yam and chiffon. I love the chocolate better. Hopefully, I would like to be able to bake a cake and decorate it myself. It would be fun to practice.
