Crazy, right?
But yes, our Sun Cellular finally has a new phone and fresh load so text us your inquiries and we’ll gladly reply within 30 mins.
Hi everyone! you may now reach us through our Sun Cellular mobile number 0943.323.7726 (I finally found a way on how to load it without leaving home and going to the nearest suking tindahan, haha!). Please understand though that oftentimes we’re so busy baking, doing other domestic-mommy stuff or tending to other non-baking related chores so we could not accommodate your calls immediately. (I don’t have an assistant, so please, please, please understand ♥)
In this case, please leave your name and message/inquiry and we’ll gladly reply as soon as possible, usually within an hour lang naman.

They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. But i beg to disagree, to imitate someone is like shouting to the world that you are not secure with yourself. You’re one insecure being who knows no value of yourself. I’ve had my share of copy cats back in grade school because sadly, I was the Regina George in our class, hahaha! I was so mean but most girls imitate me for reasons I don’t know. So basically, I know how pathetic these people are. But that’s old school, I grew up insecure as well but no, copying or being envious of someone is not my cup of tea now and never it will be.
Nowadays, even photos get stolen. Yes. Photos. You see the bottom line here is RESPECT. Respect for the ones who truly own the photo. This hurts most especially to us cakers who shed time and effort in making these beautiful cakes, more time to beautify them, take photos, watermark and upload them online.
What’s more disgusting is POSTING THIS PHOTO ON YOUR SITE without giving the REAL CAKER due credit.
This isn’t the first time that things like this happened, but it’s my first to encounter someone who swears that photo thievery is only an opinion and there are no intentions whatsoever to insult the baker. This caker knows how to bake good cakes so I see no reason why she has to grab photos from the internet to “add variety” to her cake collection.
I PMed her privately already telling her to pull down the photo. Failure to do so will force me to report her.
You think I did the right thing?
Baking and cook books are very expensive especially the former, that’s why dropping by every now and then in Book Sale ( a bookstore selling pre-loved books) has become a hobby.
Once you’re hooked with baking and cooking, you won’t stop learning. The need to learn about new recipes and tricks is there. So you turn into Google, Youtube and free PDF files for more juicy information. I do this too, very often especially when I’m short with cash. But there’s something about books that I couldn’t explain – I love smelling the pages and learning through actual books are way, way better than reading it online or watching people do it on video.
Here are the books that I have gathered so far, only a few but I’ll try to buy a few more in the coming months.
 |
| Baked: New Frontiers in Baking, Cookies and Bars, Sensational Cupcakes (NEW!) |
 |
| The Best of Good Housekeeping, Planet Cake Cupcakes (New!) |
So there, these books are must-reads as they are very easy to understand.
Back in 2009 I planned to name my then “future bakehouse” into My Pink Kitchen or My Pink Bakehouse but my baking plans were set aside because I opened a store in multiply. Come 2010, a domain angel gave me http://projectappinessbyiris.info and from there I came up with Project Happiness Bakehouse!
Why? That I don’t know.
I have plans in changing names but others told me how nice sounding it is and that we really live up to it by bringing happiness to every occasion.
So that’s it. Maybe, just maybe, the mission of our bake house is to really give happiness to other people. My husband and I discussed our future plans – that if this business thrives, will put up our own Project Happiness – to be able to help less fortunate kids.
How’s that for Project Happiness? 
I have been wanting to make a separate blog for my online bake house Project Happiness Bakehouse. The idea’s been there for ages yet I am not too lucky to have that much time to sit around and type about recipes, new designs and everything about baking.
Told myself that if I won’t start working on this one, no one will. It’s gonna be me, only me. As of this writing, I have just finished writing my new price list and boy it took me 3 whole months to work on that.
So what will you expect from this blog? Hmmm…our creations, of course – especially the blog-worthy ones, (believe me, we have cakes and cupcakes that I don’t even want to see LOL), my recipes (both original and tweaked ones) and some of my day-to-day blahs on baking.
I hope you will join me on this journey 
Tiny, my 2 year old oven suddenly died. Prolly she got too tired from all those baking – who wouldn’t? This little oven from Kyowa baked ALL the cakes of PH Bakehouse :) Got her from SM in 2009 and she never stopped baking since.
Two nights ago, she showed signs of death. After baking for more than 12 hours, she lost heat. I let her rest for a few hours and used her again, she did well so hurray! But guess what? 24 hours later, she began emitting smoke while I was baking 3 cakes! Waaaaaaah! We had to adjust the thermostat every now so as not to burn our cakes.
Anyhoo, everything went well and here are the cakes we’ve made on that fateful day of November 6, 2011.

Perhaps these three words are the most abused every summer. On our case, we’ve overused it as we went to places where sand, sea and seafoods were of abundance and yes, we’re not getting tired of it. Our whole family would always love to go swimming and fishing
Moving on, I’ll be sharing some photos of the fresh catch we got in Leyte:
That’s my husband, fishing! but instead he got a…
CRAB! super LOL moment! hahaha
super duper fresh fish (I forgot the name), I can’t describe it’s freshness. We grilled it and cooked the rest into tinola (yes, di lang manok ang tinotola sa amin!)
The fresh shrimps which is only costs P175/kilo
The sugpo which we bought for around P280/kilo
That’s how huge they were! very cheap for it’s price, right?
I have tons of photos here to share but for now, let me have my brekky first
Ciao!
I’m just giddy happy and I want to share it to all of you
