I Heart The Baker's Fair in WTC

I visited two expositions just this Friday, 02/18. The Baker's fair at the WTC in Manila, or is that still considered Pasay? Whatever. And the Annual Philippine Travel Expo at SMX.

I've been planning to take my customized chocolate business seriously this time. I often do things out of whim, that once I start getting bored I tend to forget about them but if I find something to be passionate about I tend to be obsessed with it. I'm not a chocolate lover, to be honest. I do eat chocolate from time to time but I don't pig out on them. I can't, I'm diabetic and unless it's sugar free I'm not supposed to touch it. But even before I was diagnosed, I've always preferred the Bittersweet kind. There's the satisfaction in letting each bite melt into your mouth as the taste of bitterness overpowers the subtle sweetness of the rich cocoa.

Believe me, I was in paradise when I entered the place. Lots of moulds and baking equipments, the choices were vast and I just wish I had more money saved up. Good thing most of the items I liked were priced within reach. Found a Winnie the Pooh and Kerokerokeropi head choco moulds, spatulas that I need, paper linings that I need for my choco boxes and chocolate cup molds.

I went and checked the chocolate blocks but they seem to be more expensive than the ones I buy at my supplier. And the taste wasn't that good, even their premium class were a bit of disappointment. The Belgian and decadent ones were too expensive and might not be good for my "just starting" business. I can try checking them out when I have the means to expand my current obsession :p

The cake designs were lovely, too bad I wasn't able to take some pictures that I could have shared with you guys. I do have to say that my favorite design for the foundant cakes was the luggage wedding cake. It had the sense of creativity and artistry. I'd probably get that if I was getting married.

The Travel expo was a bit of disappointment as well. We yearly visit the event at SMX, (even that time when it was held at Megamall) but it wasn't as entertaining and eye catching as the previous one.
