I was one of the nosiest students Tita Leni had in cake decorating class. I think I could even vie for the nosiest student in their culinary studio. I’m not sure if I should be proud of it but I’m sure they miss me there. :-D Before classes ended, I’ve been relentlessly teasing Tita that we have a Christmas party at her Forbes Park residence and yesterday we did. It was very gracious of her to host the party and my family was in full attendance. Ma and Orie were also students of Tita.
Tita’s house was elegant and I love her interiors and how every room was nicely decorated for Christmas. She has a cute little dog named Patches who was very playful and energetic. Patches would prod me to play ball with him and I was already catching my breath and yet he was still high and playful.
It was time for lunch and we all stayed at the dining area. The long rectangular dining table was elaborately set with silverware and fine china. We were motioned where each one will be seated and we took our turns to the buffet table. In attendance also were Tita Peachy, Tita Karen, Tita Lou and Tita Leni’s students from sausage making class. It was a fun group with very good home cooked food. I love the pansit and fried lumpiang ubod. Really excellent cooking.
All the Titas that I mentioned are all moms in their 40s (except for Tita Leni who is in her late 60s) and they’re my good friends. We had lunch once during Tita Karen’s birthday at Cyma and all of us text or call each other regularly mostly to share tips about our craft. We are bonded by our passion and interest in pastry and cake decorating. We will be having our own baking session at my home after Christmas. We agreed to meet and try different recipes. I look forward to this. I’m actually excited about it. I think Tita Leni is coming along too. :-)
