Cupcakes by sonja

tasty, sinful, expensive cupcake goodness

since i was being an ass and i accidentally pressed the back button (believe me confirmation ok/cancel never works on a laptop where your palms are pressed near the trackpad and you can mistakenly pressed the enter key when all you wanted was a new line, you get a whole new black entry. w00t

anyway, back to my story, i went yesterday to sonja's to bring cupcakes home to my family since i had a good review of their lemon drop cupcake from my adventure here. the little boy and i had a short snack there. Belgian Cocoa Cupcake in Cream Cheese frosting for me and a vanilla cupcake smothered in chocolate frosting.

since most of the pics are with ben, here are mine when i got home.

sonja's cupcakes come in ingenius boxes with cut out holes to snugly place the cupcakes safely for a car trip to avoid toppling them and getting the frosting everywhere.
Cupcakes anybody?

i am not a cheese cake fan, but i do am a strawberry fan. and this little cupcake that is cream cheese filled with a gooey graham crust was a winner.this plain little one is one of my favorites....the cupcake was so soft that it melts in your mouth and the tangy lemon frosting was a perfect mix to it. you can't help but get frosting on your nose while you eat it...

well, part 2 soon...

long ago vday update - part 1

a friend invited me over for lunch since he was leaving. i also have a date for a urine sample at the associated medical services, and dinner with the little boy. with all those planned i took a half day off work. and here are the camwhore moments

jr picked me up in his red altis around 12:20, and we had lunch at this japanese place called たたみ (tatami) inside the Serendra piazza (plaza, whatever). He picked angus beef yakiniku, crazy maki, hamachi sashimi and kani salad for sharing, and i ordered a scallops donburi for me. miso soup for the both of us.

/** tatami's japanese inspired interior */

/** my plate, chopsticks and soysauce holder */

/** my scallops donburi */

/** grains of rice from my donburi */

/** me and jr, one of my friends from college. who is
going to the US (again) the lucky bastard */

next stop from tatami is Cupcakes by sonja. Expensive little cupcakes in the expensive little store.

/** entrance at sonja's....a world that looks like
an invasion of the stepford wives. */

/** sonja's pink and white, almost creepy,
stepford wives interior */

since it was vday, the line was long...it circled around the store already and out the door, this was jr's vday treat for me (besides lunch), he was also giving his office girlmates cupcakes.

i was lucky enough to be there to pick the cupcake i liked...i settled for this...

/** last lemon drop that i saw disappear in front of my eyes
i'm glad i got a new one from a new batch :) */

anyway, after the long line, we got out of the store 2:30ish, i hitched a ride with him till dela rosa, and we went separate ways, patting each other at the back goodbye...
Part 2 soon...i'm going to bed...
