PoroSnax Silvanas (Cookies) - A Frozen Treat

You are what you eat... (I am a PORO!)

FUN FACT ABOUT ME #8: I just had my bangs for the first time in 23 Years.

All my life, I’ve been intrigued on how to make French Macarons. I have looked up several recipes, tips and tricks and although I am really eager to try and make them, I just can’t find any almond meal in my location..



In connection to that, I am also fascinated with Sans Rival and Silvanas because of their wonderful flavor and unique texture. Funny, because I have already made my first ever Sans Rival (which I am planning to improve on when I bake my next) and the recipe for Sans Rival, Silvana Cookies and Macarons are almost (take note: almost) similar, yet instead of almond meal, they call for ground cashews. Yum!
 SANS RIVAL (a Filipino Classic)


 With that said, yes I admit I became addicted to making Silvanas. At first, I tried using the macarons technique yet it was a fail. (Hey, nobody gets it right the FIRST time; so I’ve been told!) I didn’t believe that at first. I mean, the flavor and texture was fine but the appearance eeh not much.



I did four tries until I got it just right BUT (yes but) I wanted to make more, something beyond, something different with these classics so… I take my buttercream, made some cookie icing and voila. Poro-themed Silvana Cookies.




If you don’t know what a Poro is, here’s a quick preview: 


I call them PoroSnax because they are Poros we can snack on but the real PoroSnax look like these:


If you are still following me at this point then kudos to you, bes!

Therefore, I conclude since Poros eat PoroSnax; poof they became le PoroSnax themselves! *laughs* I want to be a Poro too... They’re so cute and fluffy just look at em.


Ps: if you are one of those obsessed with League of Legends too then my apologies for not placing Poro Ears slash Horn because I accidentally grounded ALL MY CASHEWS. Noooo!



I haven’t made a video tutorial on this but here’s a link to a whole album of me making em. 

I’ll post the recipe soon.

Hmm… Come to think of it, the Holidays is fast approaching. This will be a great time to make Silvanas rain.


Go then, eat your bread in happiness and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works.

Pusheen as a Lady Bug?

You are what you eat... (I am  Pusheen!)

FUN FACT ABOUT ME #7: I am a cat (Person) -meow


FULL RECIPE HERE: meow


I want to try something new today and lay off the sweets.
I actually like to draw something on a pizza and I thought, is that even possible?
So, I looked up online and stumbled over Domenico Crolla and his stunning pizza portraits.  I'm like "are you sure?" but there's no stopping me, let's do something simple like my favorite character in the world, Pusheen!



I made a deep dish pizza before with my 2 year old nephew (that was yum!)  



I gotta admit I lacked plans and practice with this Pusheen portrait thingy
but I'm really hyped on making another one next time. Enjoy!

Drawing 101 - am·a·teur 


If you're wondering what I did to outline Pusheen, it's actually a white cheese spread that I colored brown. :D You can explore on your options. 


My apologies for not achieving that golden crust, you're the boss of your own pizza portrait, just let it stay in the oven a few more minutes till you achieve desired crust.

DotA 2 Themed Doughnuts

You are what you eat... (I am a HUMBLE DONUT or better yet; a DOTA 2 GLAZED DONUT!)

FUN FACT ABOUT ME #6: I AM A GAMER :)

If you’ve been tuning in to my YouTube Channel, then you’ve already noticed.

I'm sure you'd rather be a doughnut to feed those heroes giving them something to nom on rather than feeding them with your own player (like what I usually do; cos I'm such a noob :/) The first option is a win win if you ask me. :))

Been playing DotA since it came out then I switched to League but recently I've been playing a lot of DotA 2 so every time that loading screen comes up (obviously I didn't buy any fancy loading screens yet; Ha!) I think of a sweet treat so...

I'm feeling more gamey lately so I came up with this: 
If you're on for a simple route, sure! Check out my Filipino Donuts.


Make your own: I'm all about easy and delicious. Yes!
No Mixer and No Oven Needed.

They are already good on its own and today I dipped them in some marshmallow glaze. 


You can also fill them because these are hole less donuts, I wouldn't want to waste that dough but donut holes are good too. If you're a donut bites kind of person. :)




The donut itself is not that sweet and so is the glaze. If you want it on the sweeter side, add some powdered sugar in your marshmallow mixture while on the stove.



Aaaaah! Fresh Doughnut <3

You are what you eat... (I am a Choco Mucho Angel "slash that" Monster Cake)

FUN FACT ABOUT ME #5: I Love Dark Chocolates! “Who doesn’t?” mehe :/


Did you know that Choco Mucho (a product of the famous; REBISCO) has different varieties now?

YES! Just take a look at these Choco Mucho POP Bites (it comes with a dark chocolate flavor) 


I know I got my hand on Choco Mucho from its first ever Milk Chocolate bar with delicious wafers and caramel and stuff, then they released different flavors and Dark Chocolate – is a personal favorite of mine. What’s yours?
From a humble chocolate bar, to mini chocolate balls now to top it off, I guess just like (Jack ‘n Jill’s) Cream-O, it released its new product which is the Choco Mucho Cookie Sandwich with thick chocolate filling; and they’re not kidding when they say thick they mean thick. From you first bite bursts its chocolatey flavor. I sure hope they release something dark chocolate soon.




Won’t you agree with me that we are Choco Mucho too? We may come in different shapes and sizes, go around with different colors and personalities but we are still one by heart. <3 A Chocolate Heart. Hihi

click me > CHOCO MUCHO Monster Cake <




Inspired by the new Choco Mucho Milk Chocolate Biscuit out on the market with thick chocolate filling and the moment I bit in to that I told myself: I really have to make a cake out of this.

This video is not SPONSORED or anything (or I hope it is, Ha!) and it is nowhere near advertising, I guess you can call it a review. sort of. *laf

Make your own: (I promise it is VERY EASY TO MAKE with SIMPLE INGREDIENTS)
NO Oven Required or any Electrical Tools; Just a Rice Cooker :)
