My name is MAYEN ...

I am a mother , a wife, a daughter and a sister more than anything ....

I was born and raised in the Philippines... nun-schooled til high school ... and graduated from UP with a biology degree. Having been semi geeky my whole life, my passions then has always been in the sciences-chemistry, ecology, microbiology ... it paved the way for my career of 11 years. I have been in the US for quite some time now... and this is my second home... I find it quite wonderful that we live in the state where the famous Ace of Cakes is-- because I love that show ! It is my dream to be part of the crew :)  Go Baltimore !!!

My background has mainly been on pharmaceutical / nutritional sales, but after having my little boy, my life course happily changed. As I take care of my son, I have discovered this hobby that has awakened something I never knew I had. It is wonderful to know that no one can take this away from me-- so I happily share what I know because once others learn, they too, get something that is uniquely 'just theirs'... 

In my desire to share this to others, this website is being built so that others can access recipes, get suggestions and tips, share and learn from others, and also serve as my online album for family and friends.

For now, I make cakes for family and friends, people I know... I don't have a shop. I plan to expand what I can do to include making figures and having that more available for others... it would be technically "edible" but would not really be eaten anyway.... such items can be sold on eBay and not get anyone in trouble... Once I get that done, it will be on this site and youtube as well. I have gotten inquiries on that many times but i have almost always turned it down for fear of having the items break in transit. But I have recently had success in shipping figures and that got my hopes up.

So... I hope you will enjoy your visit to my site.. leave a footprint (comment) if you want... and I am always very grateful for your time and friendship.
