Ruffa Gutierrez celebrated her birthday on June 28 at Manila House Private Members Club with close family and friends for a Havana-themed celebration. Pinky Tobiano, a dear friend of Ruffa’s, hosted the party and styled a private room for an intimate dinner that took guests right back to an eventful night in Havana.

The room was shining bright with stars and close friends like Alice Dixon, Anthony Pangilian, Maricell Laxa, Francis Libiran, Christian Mark Jacobs, Ferdie Salvador, Bubbles Paraiso, Phoemela Baranda, CJ Jaravata, Ella Pangilinan, Dong Ronquillo, Aziza Mondoñedo, Jordan Mouyal, and of course the gracious host Pinky Tobiano accompanied by her partner Juanch Robles.

Ruffa celebrated with a 3-tier semi naked lemon cake with lemon-infused buttercream frosting adorned with handmade sugar flowers mirroring the Havana theme of the night.

Feeling the Havana Nights vibe with this intimate setup styled with a myriad of special touches by “Pink Laces” by Pinky Tobiano.

Dani Barretto and Xavi Panlilio’s Dreamy Wedding Cake

by

Photograph by: Nice Print Photography

When a couple is truly in love and it’s so fresh that you can see it on their faces every time you greet them, you know that they’ve found their soulmate. When I first met Dani Baretto at Manila Peninsula for her cake tasting and design consultation, this was my impression of the young couple. Xavi Panlilio and Dani Barretto have a special rapport and made me feel comfortable during the cake tasting experience as if we were long-time coffee buddies. They were especially excited to get down to business and start discussing the cake!

The couple, Dani Barretto and Xavi Panlilio together with Marjorie Barretto and Ross Panlilio, Wedding Planner, Teena Barretto, and Naked Patisserie CEO, Christian Mark Jacobs

We laid out 4 flavors for Dani and Xavi to try: French Vanilla, Lemon, Chocolate, and Red Velvet. Dani loved the red velvet cake and the couple chose to take a non-traditional route and decided on a 3-tier semi-naked red velvet cake with sugar flowers (lots of sugar flowers, I might add). Dani also selected a Savory Naked Spread for cocktail hour, which would keep guests contented while the couple did pictorials after the ceremony. After tasting Naked Patisserie’s famous Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake Truffles, Dani and Xavi ordered Luxe Gift Sets that, when opened, said “Will you be my Ninong?” and “Will you be my Ninang?” A sweet and surprising gesture that many Naked Patisserie clients use as a way to formally invite Principal Sponsors to be a part of their wedding day.

As the wedding came closer, Dani texted me her invitation and color motif which was mostly neutral tones– I felt compelled to submit to her another idea for her wedding cake so I met with the Naked Patisserie design team and we came up with a 5-tier semi-naked cake that had rotating layers of lemon and French Vanilla but still had a similar design to the original cake. The lemon and French Vanilla cake complimented the color motif and the grandiose all-edible design would be perfect for their special day. When I texted the new idea to Dani she responded: “I totally trust you and the Naked Patisserie Team.” It was time for us to make her dream wedding cake a reality!

The cake towered 3-feet high and was adorned with handmade sugar flowers including David Austin Roses, Japanese Anemone, Hydrangeas, Snowberries, Eucalyptus, and Rose Leaves. Dani texted me the day after the wedding and said “Thank you so much to you and your team for the beautiful and yummy cake.”

The Savory Naked Spread featured a selection of fine cheeses and cold cuts like Manchego Curado, Gouda Chili Sambal, Gouda Green Pesto, Brie, Roast Beef, Pepperoni and Proscuitto. Other crowd favorites on the Naked Spread were The Naked Foodie Signature Southern Chicken Salad, Deviled Eggs, and Homemade Pickled Garlic Roasted Pepper Relish on Toasted Baguette.

Kryz Uy and Slater Young’s Dreamy Cebu Wedding

by

She’s known as a content creator, author and one of the Blogger Besties and he’s best known as a television personality and, of course, for being the Big Winner of Pinoy Big Brother (though now quite the successful entrepreneur, CEO of his company Liteblock). Both from Cebu, this couple told tales of an unlikely pairing, neither caring for each other when they first met as “friends.” As time on went on, their attraction to one another grew and blossomed into the romantic love story that plays out now on Instagram for millions of people to see.

The Naked Patisserie Team first met Kryz and Slater in early 2018 when they flew to Manila for their cake tasting. “I’m so impressed I didn’t realize so much thought went into making wedding cakes,” Kryz said on her YouTube Channel. Insider info- there was a bit of back and forth over the cake flavor but Kryz was set on the lemon flavor (Naked Patisserie’s bestseller for wedding cakes). “Happy wife, happy life,” I advised Slater and they proceeded to order a 3-tier Naked cake which our designer sketched on the spot for them.

I received their wedding invitation and noticed the beautiful color motif and floral graphics that Kryz and Slater had chosen and met with the Naked Patisserie creative team. We sent Kryz 3 revised sketches just days before the wedding that would be more befitting for their theme. She replied immediately writing “thanks for this, so sweet of your team to revise the design…I trust your taste, haha.”

The morning before the wedding, the Naked Patisserie Team flew to Cebu with 6 large boxes filled with cake tiers and sugar flowers. I was impressed upon arrival as they had a van waiting for us and an employee from Shangri-La Mactan to greet us and brief us on the upcoming itinerary. One thing I have to say Is that Kryz and Slater take great care of their suppliers! To add to the sweet experience, we got to work with Snoogie Reynes-Mata, one of Cebu’s most reputable and well-established wedding planners.

The ceremony was a garden wedding at Shangri-La Mactan and was nothing short of perfect— with jars of flowers hanging from the trees as the sun bowed down to the see and a modest size guest list witnessing the couple exchange vows and Kryz said with a sparkle in her eye, “I promise to love you with our beautiful kind of love, and today I am the luckiest girl because today I get to spend the rest of my life with you.”

The couple made their grand entrance to the reception venue and cut the cake immediately, with a smile as big as the sunrise painted on Kryz and Slater’s faces.
The couple’s Naked Patisserie cake was a 3-tier edible lemon cake towering 27” high with hand-crafted sugar flowers including Burgundy and peach David Austin Roses, Blush Roses, Eucalyptus, Anemone, and Peonies.

After the wedding Kryz messaged us and said, “Thank you again so much!!!! The cake was perfect! It showed our personalities and perfectly matched the theme of the wedding.” Slater wrote in saying, “The cake was delicious and the design fit our theme perfectly. We’re so honored to have [The Naked Patisserie Team] fly to Cebu with this cake especially for our wedding. It made everything even more special.”

Thanks to Kryz and Slater for the trust and especially to Snoogie Reynes-Mata for all of your support.
