Tick These Checkboxes And Enjoy The Best Possible Cake

Wazzup Pilipinas!

In your special event, what is it that you pay the most attention to? You can feel free to say decoration, location, etc. Very seldom do we hear someone say it’s the cake. This is no laughing matter but every aspect of your event is important and the cake is simply one of them. You cannot afford to alter or collapse the sweetness of the bonding with your loved one. Many might think that cake is mostly about its appearance but the truth remains that the look of it is just a part of the cake but your choice will be right when you have a cake that is a great blend of looks and flavors.

Choose an Ethical Bakery

The person you choose as your baker may not have prepared many cakes and be self-assured with the design. They should be enlisted and insured and hold a certificate of capability for Food Handling. Validate that the work they show you is their work, it is very late on the day to find out that they are not whom they appear to be. Ask around for customer reviews. A dear cake is not certainly better than a less expensive cake.

Buttercream or Fondant?

Let us first understand the difference between them, Italian buttercream is made from Italian meringue with butter lashed through it. It is the most widespread icing used on cupcakes and if you like the pastoral or textured appearance on tiered cakes then this is the icing to use. Trundled fondant is a sugar paste and not marzipan, it tangs a little like marshmallow and gives a flawlessly charming customary finish.

Quantity Matters

When you opt for a Butterscotch Cake online, cake makers come with a special guide that will help you fix the number of servings. One must be guided by this in the final decision for the size of the cake.

Shortlist Your Plan

It’s your special event and it’s always great to be a man with the plan. Shortlist some of the aspects that you would like to see on your cake. It might be decoration pieces or even flavors that might be everyone’s favorite. If you already have a rough plan in your mind then it would help the baker to come up with a better design as well.

Be Open To Experimenting

You’re free to have your favorites in terms of design and flavors but you need to be flexible with your choices and not be too stubborn or adamant. Too much of strength in your choices can lead to discomfort for the baker and designer.

Keep in mind these tips and you will have the best cake at your disposal. Keep in mind that a cake is deemed successful only when it tastes good. Invest your time on garnishing and designs but the flavor remains the last and that is the most important aspect of selecting a cake.

#ShopeeScam Ruins Blackpink Meet And Greet

Wazzup Pilipinas!

#ShopeeScam became the #1 trending topic on Twitter after a number of Filipino Blinks claimed that the online shopping site scammed them into a chance of meeting BLACKPINK during their visit to PH by becoming one of the site’s “top spenders.

Online retailer Shopee apologizes to its users for issues that involved a meetu-and-greet with Korean girl group

ShopeePH is so dumb for giving tickets to the so called influencers/celebrities for marketing purposes when blinks could easily trend anything WW at #1 to give them clout, follow and hype them. But instead they decided to scam filo blinks. Their BIGGEST mistake!

Sue Ramirez, Kristel Fulgar, Sharlene San Pedro, Anne Curtis are the only celebrities who deserve to be invited at the event. The rest like Awra Briguela, AC Bonifacio, etc., are just insensitive freeloaders.

Lazada, Zalora, BeautyMNL and OLX are probably all partying after hearing Shopee's going to hell due to that Blackpink fiasco.

Blink or not Blink, ANY fan doesn't deserve to be taken advantage by insensitive capitalists. No matter what the name is written on your "jersey", we all deserve better. I hope and pray they'd be given justice.

Jennie had a panic attack and y’all fuckers still calling her lazy just because she has motion sickness that she uses medications for (proven) y’all have me SICK. fuck shopee!

ABS-CBN Bandila reporting this last night on national TV, posting the full report on all of their social media accounts, tagging BP’s twitter account and using the hashtag #SHOPEESCAM is one of the best thing they’ve done!

I have always known that blinks are powerful once they were united but I never expect them to be this powerful. Like damn they could drag a whole country down if they wanted to and I am not even exaggerating.

Blinks literally spent hundreds of thousands just to win and see BlackPink but Shopee did them dirty lol You think they will spend that much if they are not really a fan?
I'm not a Blink, but man no one ever deserves how Shopee treated them. They failed on every front of the event & have the gall to push the fans away after all the trouble. My heart goes out to all the Blinks. Hope this gets resolved soon and they get to meet Blackpink on better terms. To all BLINKS who are really affected by the issue, please file a legal case, regardless of the apology. That 1K voucher offer to remedy is laughable.

PH companies should never underestimate KPOP fans. Messing with these fans can bring down a company.  

In Ddudu-ddudu medley... Shopee ay magnanakaw, ah yeah ah yeah! Scammer! Ah yeah ah yeah!
