Sweet Studio

It's the season of love once again! 
I can already imagine the magic of bouquets of roses and love letters and gifts and surprises and dinner dates as lovers make the whole world sigh and swoon tomorrow. Like the rest of the semi-bitter/semi-hopeful world, I've never really had a decent celebration with anyone in my entire life. Swear. Like surprising someone and being surprised back---never. I am so glad that my parents are staying and sleeping over before their early morning flight on Friday. 

Preparing for a Valentine surprise takes time and creativity, I believe. But if you still haven't figured what to give your loved one tomorrow, let me help you cram! Here's a bunch of yummy and cheesy gift ideas from Sweet Studio
 Cherry Coke Float.

 Red Velvet Cupcakes topped with cream cheese frosting

Sweet Studio is an Iloilo-based online pastry shop that offers a wide range of baked, homemade goodies to satisfy your sweet tooth. What makes it different from other pastry and coffee shops is that aside from using high-quality ingredients (uh-huh, no more fear of thick, towering icing frostings because they use cream cheese), they can also personalize. Request for a theme or design that suits the personality of the person you'll be giving the desserts to and they'll gladly do it for you. Artsy? YES. Scroll down to believe! 
Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with whipped cream and ganache.

 For music lovers and musicians by heart!
I bet they can also craft fashionista-inspired cupcakes. Shoes and bags and jeans and cuff links as toppings, why not?

Perfect cupcakes for anniversaries and of course, Valentine's Day!
They're all too cute to eat (just imagine the effort and intricacy they put to design each one) but I'm sure every bite will be worth it.
  Blueberry Cheesecake
 Cherry Cheesecake
 Oreo Cheesecake
Mango Cheesecake
 Banana Sea Salt Caramel Cheesecake
 Oreo Cherry Jell-o Cheesecake

No one gets taunted for being cheesy on a Valentine's Day because it supposedly is World Cheesy Day! Okay. I kind of just made the latter up. :3 But why not make your pickup lines even cheesier with personalized creamcheese-y cupcake toppings and cheesecakes? And since it's close to graduation season, customized Congratulations Cakes and Cupcakes by Sweet Studio are practical gift options too, because they can be gifts and potluck contributions at the same time!
 Tiramisu
 Signature Classic Brownies

Triple Chocolate Walnut Fudge Brownies.

There. Hurray for my first-ever food-related post!
Whatever your plans are--with a date, with friends, or with no date at all (awww, virtual hugs for you)--I hope that everyone will have a blast tomorrow!
Let us celebrate love, life, friendship and family.
Happy Valentine's in advance!
I LOVE YOU ALL dear readers. :D


Much love,
Mela

No Place Like Home

Hello, dearies!
Let me take a break from the Office Girl Series on the first day of this very special month. I can't believe that it's barely two months before summer--so many things to accomplish, so little time! I wish I can still cope with all my school (and blog) requirements piling up. 



I almost forgot that I have this post on my blog drafts. These photos were taken just at the beginning of the semestral break last October. I must have been so preoccupied with sponsored posts and collabs that I took this one for granted. I love who and what I am right now and I am forever thankful for all the support that you guys have been giving; but sometimes missing what I used to be couldn't be helped. Leaves and trees at the background, recycled clothes for outfit posts, borrowed stuff from Mom, and just me, my passion, and my brother at the back of the camera. That simple--no pressure, no one to impress.

At home, there is no Mela--just the Ate Camille who leaves the bed almost always at lunchtime, who eats like a jaded laborer and spends hours at the bathroom. Yes, they all love me like that (although I'm really working hard to be less of a burden, swear to God). I will never ever trade that carefree feeling of being at home with my family. :)

Hype this on LOOKBOOK.nu!

What do you think of my "modified" header and sidebar?
Gahhh, I seriously need help.
Anyway, happy Month of Hearts everyone!


Much love,
Mela
