FIA Cake-a-Thon[/caption]When I wrote this birthday post last July, there was 56 of us and after 3 months we have grown to 70 foodies. I can't put into words how blessed and happy I am to be part of this family.
Arva announced that we are going to celebrate FIA birthday with cakes I initially planned to bring V's favorite Moist Chocolate Cake then as I was checking if I had the ingredients C suggested to bring Ube Macapuno Cake (his favorite) since he was sure that there would be atleast 2 chocolate cake on the event.
You can read more FIA birthday post from FooDee, GingerAndScotch, MyCustardPie, and IriniSavva. (I may be missing some posts, will edit list if needed)

I have been searching for the perfect Ube Macapuno Cake just like what Red Ribbon sells back home. I've tried several recipes found online some requires the use of ube jam, while some just make use of ube flavoring , and others that use the jam as the frosting itself. So many to choose from and luckily I found one from Corrine of Heart of Mary that was just perfect for us.

Awww.. I love the pics !! V and Z look adorable!!!! loved the cake!! It was the best cake I've had in a while!!!
ReplyDeletePurple Yam IS IS IS IS my favourite!!!!!!! The one we usually have [in Kerala, India] is purple on the insides too. Are these the same? Dina might know those ones.. Dina, you know Kachil right? Is this Kachil? love boiling them and just eating them with salt. :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I love anything that's purple. Must have been yum, that cake! :D
Meris I think the label in Lulu for this yam is Kachil (I will check this weekend). I searched according to wiki it's called Garadu in India.
ReplyDeletePurple is also my favorite color. :)
Thanks Dina!
ReplyDeleteI can personally vouch for how delicious this cake is. Thank you for introducing me to a cake and an ingredient that I can never even heard of let alone tasted. It's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sally!
ReplyDeleteYum, you goto me looking at your UbE Cake. I want to stick my finger on the icing hahah. Im not sure if I have the ingredients here in STL... these are the days I wish I still live in San Diego, if I crave for Ube Cake or Mango Cake, if I can't bake them, Red Ribbon is just around the corner. hahah. Thanks for sharing! something to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteYeah this is definitely sugar high party! Next time invite me, i'm coming over hahah. Happy Birthday to the little one.
we had a fake Red Ribbon here it was so disappointing. Oh no it was not little V's birthday but our UAE food bloggers anniversary/birthday.
