Cupcakes Invasion

I really must have such a sweet tooth to write about this and this.

And now here's what I give you, dear readers, for tonight:  fantastic polvoron cupcakes by Double Delights!
Yes, you read it right:  polvoron and cupcakes in one.  I was so curious how they tasted because they looked so cute and so nice.  I bought myself four pieces today.  I had such a hard time picking out the top 4 cutest cupcakes, so I just chose a blue angry bird, a zombie, a Santa Claus, and a rose.  

Here's how they looked when inside the plastic case

Here's how they looked without the plastic cover

Side shot....I love how cute the zombie is!

(Is that an oxymoron?  hehehe)

The rose looks cuter in person than here on my photos

Wanna order?  Here are the details.

The cupcakes were a bit pricy at php35 per piece.  But judging by the artistry and labor that went into the production, I think I'd give them 5 out of 5.  Maybe I can give these cute ones to my bearers, flower girls and kiddie relatives.

How about you, what's your latest wedding-related find?  ;-)

Photobooth --- to have or not?

Thanks to the wonders of extended banking hours, internet, email, and text messaging, H2B and I have already reserved and paid the down payment for our non-negotiable suppliers.  I know that the wedding budget will keep on getting bigger so as early as now we need to be focused and stick to it.  As I have said previously, we need to think clearly and not be overwhelmed with the many choices out there.  Couples should clearly define what are their must have's and just the mere nice to have's.

Let me now write about one of my nice to have's.  As a shutterbug myself, I am thrilled with the idea of having more photographers in my wedding.  I'd gladly hire a different team of photographers to work with Noel if I could.  So getting a photobooth will be a dream come true for me.  It has also become a staple in weddings very recently.  However, let me be quick to say that as of now, this is just a nice to have.

Last Friday, I attended a thanksgiving dinner cum birthday party for one of the respected DepEd officials in our city.  She was also about to retire, so this dinner meant so much to all of us who work in Pasig.  Guess what was one of the features of her day?  A photobooth from Picsteria, lovingly shouldered by some people from the Division!

Picsteria offers four packages:
2-hour standard package for only Php 7,500
2-hour deluxe package for only Php 8,500
3-hour deluxe package for only Php 9,500
4-hour deluxe package for only Php10,500

Should I get one for our big day?  Let me pray about it first.

Meantime, let me end this with a sample print-out.  It's super clear!
