My friend Shirley, who is the patissier of Pastry Passion Manila, has come to Saigon.

Why am I excited?  Because I got to taste her delectable creations last Saturday during her son’s 1st birthday and they were divine!

I love chocolate cupcakes and Shirley’s version really hits the spot.

She also prepared tiramisu which I unfortunately wasn’t able to take photos of but were absolutely delightful!

But the star and centerpiece of Shirley’s ensemble is her beautifully and lovingly crafted birthday cake for Ethan.

I don’t need to convince you — just see the photos!

This cake is 100% edible!

Don’t you just love it?!?
