Royal Farm Catering Brochure, Gulayon, Dipolog City

Author: ViolisimoFernando // Category: , , , , ,



I make it a habit to get contact details from every venue we serve cakes for, but so far, only Royal Farm has a complete listing of their services. Strangely, I couldn't find a price list on their Multiply site.


Here is a complete rundown of Royal Farm services as of the May 17,2010 handout.

Bamboo Garden

Author: ViolisimoFernando // Category: , , , ,
Today, we served another wedding cake for a couple named Orlando and Sharon at Bamboo Garden, Dipolog. The reception was very traditional, beginning with a grand entrance by the bride and groom with their entourage, followed by the cake slicing, wine sipping, dove releasing, and then the meal, followed by table hopping by the  bride and groom. Advice was given by parents of the newlyweds and the sponsors and then it was over quickly, and I went home...
Bamboo Garden is a traditional reception hall with designs hearkening back to the Chinese-Spanish era, complete with chandeliers and a red carpet design using floor tiles. Bamboo Garden also has its own catering service, which I sampled during the wedding reception. Bamboo Garden Catering service provided several good choices of food, rice, ham, fish fillet, Filipino-style macaroni, and two kinds of dessert cake served in cupcake paper cups. 



The wedding cake provided by Couple's Cakehaus Worry Free Package cost exactly 7,000 Php, setup, lighting, delivery and slicing inclusive, non-inclusive of the mini cakes which cost 95 Php per piece, free use of cake slicer and wineglass set and bride and groom statuette., and fountain. The cakes are in the following dimensions: Left largest, 14 in diameter, middle, 9 in diameter, and smallest, 6 in diameter, all 6 inches high. The flavors are, moist coffee chiffon for the largest and smallest cake, and super-melt-in-your-mouth moist chocolate for the middle largest. In the setup, the fountain would have been included if the table provided was large enough.

Pros: Excellent service by the Bamboo Garden staff.
BG staff were quick to serve and respond. In a water test(request for a glass of water) it took only 24.6 seconds for them to provide it. The place has a decent area, and is located within the city, meaning it only takes one fare from the church or bus terminal to get there.

Journal of a Cake Representative

Author: ViolisimoFernando // Category:


My job is simple, help make a cake, set it up, attend a wedding and get paid.

Hmm...append that.

Eat, observe, sit around and then get paid.

That's right. I'm a paid wedding guest!

One job aspect I enjoy in my line of work is company representative for Couple's Cakehaus and Pasalubong. I assist in cake cuttings, setup and pretty much help when it relates to the wedding cake. Most days it's hitch-free...other times, not so good. Like the time I was in Salug, man that was embarrasing. I has to open the champagne for the groom. Problem was I forgot the err, explosive properties of wine. Go figure :P The upnote was that the food_was_great!

This cake was one of the best customer experiences I had, meaning, the customers were quite satisfied...and so was my stomach. No mistakes whatsoever(nothing caught fire, the cake didn't get obliterated by meteorites and it was delicious), and everyone loved the cake.

And in the end, I get paid. Not bad for eating eh?

May 8,2010: An Excercise in Versatility

Author: ViolisimoFernando // Category: ,

During a time of increased pressure, the human mind is pushed to its limit. What results, can be absolutely stunning or absolutely WACK!

Out of bed, and directly into preparations. I don't know why exactly, but running in a circle seems to get something done, if you're running around a cake! During my time with Couples Cakehaus.co.cc I've witnessed the staff take simple cake and sugar and create the most beautiful cakes in my life.

Making wedding cakes in my family is always a family affair. There is no aspect wherein at least one of our family is involved. I usually do the free tarpaulins, cake tags, and decorate, but my favorite job is always company representative.
