I just celebrated my birthday a week ago and here’s my simple birthday cake bought from Steven’s Gourmet. It’s a mocha cake topped with cherries. This deliciously rich, moist cake really satisfies your most intense chocolate cravings. It definitely satisfies my sweet tooth. The mocha flavor for both the cake and the frosting is just so awesome! I love it!

We celebrate my hubby’s birthday last Saturday and one of the sweet dessert that we prepared is this moist chocolate cake from Steven’s bread shop. It only costs around $8.00. This cake is actually one of my favorite because of its moist that melts in your mouth texture. It’s simply heavenly yummy and delicious!

Its actually easy to make. About an hour and fifteen minutes from start to finish you can have this mouth watering chocolate cake. You can easily find the ingredients at the grocery store too.   I’m sure your guests will find this cake both irresistible and unforgettable because it is an ultimate chocolate birthday cake  since both kids and adults love it. 

My daughter’s birthday party is fast approaching and one of the sweet dessert that I am planning to prepare is these yummy Buko fruit salad. The photo above was from my hubby’s birthday and since fruit salad is one of our favorite family dessert, it will still be our sweet tasting treat for our guests.

The word “buko” means young, green coconut. Buko is one of the main ingredients of Filipino sweets and deserts.Here is the recipe of Filipino buko fruit salad. Make your own Filipino buko fruit salad as a tasty treat no matter where you may be in the world.

Ingredients:
1 large can of regular fruit cocktail
1 package shredded buko (young coconut strips)
1 can of condensed milk
2 cans of all purpose cream
½ or 1 bar of cheddar cheese cut into cubes (optional)

Directions:
1. Drain syrup from fruit cocktails can, shredded coconuts and bottles of nata de coco. Tip: Drain them quickly by combining them all together in a strainer. Leave the ingredients there for 10 to 20 minutes to drain any excess syrup.
2. Place drained fruit cocktails, shredded coconut and nata de coco in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add condensed milk. Mix well.
4. Add all purpose cream and cubed cheddar cheese.
5. Put the large bowl in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour. I prefer to chill the buko fruit salad overnight.

Best serve when chilled. Enjoy!
