Friday 11am with cupcake caddies on hand we headed to Wild Peeta at World Trade Center for #BakeFestDXB organized by @theregos.
Our day was filled with sweet goodness from talented bakers - cakes, cookies, truffles, cup cakes, and pies. It was not only us adults who enjoyed the day the kids too.
Our kitchen was able to produce three kinds of cup cake: Lemon Meringue, Ube Haleya (Purple Yam), and Coconut Pandan.
I was calm two weeks before the event after a few sleep it was the #BakeFestDXB week! Sleep was not my friend, I was overly excited and scared. It's my first time to bake something to be displayed.
Half of Wild Peeta was filled with sweet goodies from a community of bakers who blogs and tweets as well.

Little V found a new friend in Wee Scotch (Ginger's little one). He was so proud of himself telling his dad and I that he took good care of the baby and that wee scotch was his new friend.
I think selling our sweets was secondary, we truly had fun chatting till it was time to pack our things. Looking forward for #BakeFestDXB round 3!
Once again a big THANK YOU to Wild Peeta for hosting the event and @theregos our dahlink organizer.
how did my cupcakes sell? (my Uncle asked)
I sold handful with sad face. The flavors of the cupcakes I presented were new to the buyers, I think. Most passing by my stand asked if I had any with chocolates in them. Was partly my fault I think: I should have put samples for customers to taste. Oh well on the next bakefest. Like what I said above the experience was worth my sleepless nights. I met really wonderful people.
