The Lollicake Factory

Happy Lollicaker!

2011-08-26T04:29:00.000-07:00

It has been months since my last blog and I apologize for that. My schedule has been super crazy! For one we have been real busy at the factory baking not only lollicakes but cupcakes and specialty cakes as well! If you remember from my last post I was in California for my cousins wedding and if you follow the lollicake factory on facebook or me on twitter you know I took another trip there about 2 months ago to watch NKOTBSB in concert(Yes I'm a fan!) :-). During that trip I also did a whole lot of cupcakery hopping and cupcake tasting to get some ideas for our store front at the same time baked some lollies for our lollicakers in the bay area.The cupcake tasting was awesome, I even had some cupcakes shipped straight fr. Georgetown Cupcake of the DC Cupcakes show! I'll post some photos so I can share my experience with you guys. When I got back I decided to complete the Master Course in Cake decorating with Chef Heny Sison, it's always nice taking a class with her because I learn so much. Our end project was to make a 3 tier wedding cake and because i couldn't have a pink wedding I decided to make my project a pink wedding cake!So yes, I now accept wedding cake orders...never thought I'd make wedding cakes but hey I'm having alot of fun!
I am very excited to announce that we will be opening The Lollicake Factory store front on September 12! Please follow us on facebook and twitter(daredevilchic) to get updates on the time and special promos. Our New store will be located at 56-D East Capitol Drive Kapitolyo, Pasig. We will have lollicakes available daily as well as other mini desserts, exciting cupcake flavors and even a brunch menu cooked by yours truly!
When I started The Lollicake Factory part of my prayer was to eventually have a small cozy breakfast/dessert cafe in our area similar to the one me and Jimmy go to in California. I'm so thankful for how soon he answered my prayers, everything that led to finally putting up this store went so smooth I have no doubt that God planned all this. Now I understand why there was a time in my life where I felt work was really slow. I have to admit I'd get frustrated asking what it was he really wanted me to do. I remember praying to him saying you must have something big cooking because I sure have a lot of time on my hands.I know he purposely planned it that way because that was right after our wedding and it gave Jimmy and I a lot of time to spend together. Instead of continuing to get frustrated, I decided to use my time wisely, I bonded with my husband and enhanced my baking and cooking skills while he was at practice. Little did I know that he was leading me to a new career! The Lord has been so good to us this season and I just can't say thank you enough for how everything has been going. If there's some of you out there going through the same thing I went through, not knowing what it is he has planned. I encourage you to stay patient and keep the faith! I guarantee he has something great planned for you! Just put Him first and everything will fall into place.
Here are some photos from the last few months Enjoy!

Hi Everyone!
Sorry it took so long for me to blog again. If you follow us on facebook or twitter you know it has been real hectic for us at The Lollicake Factory. We have continuously been blessed with orders and almost every week we have bulk orders for birthdays and other events. Not to mention our repeat customers and those who have been ordering to send out of the country as pasalubong to family and friends:-) Yes guys we have gone international!!! Our lollicakes have been sent to Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, L.A.,San Francisco and Texas!
I recently went on a trip to California for my cousin Candie's wedding. I brought some lollicakes that were made here in our factory, but per request from my cousin I also made some for my cousin in-law Ed's birthday as well as her bridal shower. The response was very flattering! Everybody loved it and wanted more! I'll share some photos with you guys later. Since I was in California I also went shopping for supplies so we will have NEW designs as well as more character cakes available.
For those of you that don't know yet, we now have green tea lollicakes which were requested by our friends at Hapadog! If you haven't tried them yet I suggest you order some because not only are they delicious, they are healthy too! I don't use butter or milk in the cake which is a good excuse to eat more! It is actually my new favorite next to red velvet. You can get some hapa green tea lollicake's individually at Hapadog Sky Garden in SM North Edsa. We also have edible printing on our lollicakes now so if you want your company logo or even a photo of you and your hubby as a wedding or debut giveaway we can do that too!
I'm so excited for you guys to see all the new lollicake designs and characters we will we debuting over the next few weeks. Here are some of the latest photos from The Lollicake Factory:

The Lollicake Factory: More New and Exciting things coming up for The Lol...: "This past month has been really good for The Lollicake Factory. We are officially going to have our stall in Mercato every Sunday so you can..."

Getting Better and Better!

2011-02-01T05:22:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys!
It has been a while since my last post!The reason for this is that I have been really busy working on improving our business. I took a few baking classes to further enhance my cake decorating and baking skills and that took up a lot of my time.
I am very thankful for the success of The Lollicake Factory and because I have also been getting inquiries about packaging the lollicakes with actual cakes, I decided to take some classes. So yes, we now accept character cake orders!
I know I've said it before but I just can't get over how blessed The Lollicake Factory has been and I want to again thank the Lord for all this because without him I wouldn't have been able to get this far specially since the orders are getting bigger and bigger(That's a good thing though)!
Last Sunday we started our booth in Mercato Centrale at Bonifacio Global City. Mercatto has a lot of yummy food stalls that are not very common so I thought it would be a great place for The Lollicake Factory to put up its first stall .We got a bunch of inquiries for birthdays, baby showers and even weddings that are coming up. We will be there again this coming Saturday Feb. 5 and we sell lollicakes individually over there so if you want to try the different flavors come by our stall! If you want to pre-order your lollicakes and pick them up there just let me know and I'll have them ready for you at the booth.
We have some new designs for Valentines day so don't forget to order in advance because slots are filling up.I don't have as much help as I did during christmas season because my lolli girls Alodia, Nicolle and Len are back in school so it's best that you place your orders early to make sure I can accommodate them.
If you want recent updates about The Lollicake Factory please visit our facebook page!
Here are some of our recent photos!Till my next blog!

What's New at The Lollicake Factory?!

2010-12-28T04:58:00.000-08:00

I hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas !I had to wait till after the holidays to blog again because it has been Crazy in The Lollicake Factory.... in a Good way though!:-) Our Lollicakes have been selling like Hotcakes. Not only as Christmas giveaways but for birthdays and other gatherings as well. Our biggest one time order to date is 400 pcs. For a Candy Land themed debut. They asked us to make 2 tower arrangements which turned out very pretty and matched the theme very well my cousin/”lolli” girl Nicolle designed the tower.

Everyday has been hectic in the factory and I’d like to take this time to thank my Lolli girls Alodia and Nicolle for being so efficient because with out them, I wouldn’t have been able to accommodate all the orders that came in this month .We went from making 150 pcs. a day to 300! I am also very blessed to have dependable helpers like Len and Eden who make sure the house is clean after all the Lollicaking!

I also want to thank my husband Jimmy for being so supportive, we haven’t been able to spend as much time with each other since this business started but he has been very understanding and he makes sure he comes down to the factory to check on me from time to time. And because of him, we now have a heavy duty mixer(In Pink!) and a food processor which makes the lollicaking process a lot easier and faster!

Lastly I want to thank the Lord for all the blessings coming my way!:-)

The Lollicake Factory Update

2010-12-09T04:09:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys,
I've been really busy since I got back from Hong Kong, that's why I haven't been able to update my blog. Before I forget, for those of you who have been trying to reach me please disregard the other number, just call 09997774443 for orders from now on. I had a problem with my phone line so I opted not to use that company anymore.
I can't express enough how thankful I am to God for all the blessings he's poured upon me. Who would of thought that after craving for my favorite dessert from Sweet and Saucy in Long Beach, Ca, I would come up with The Lollicake Factory! Business has been doing so well and so I wanted to thank all my customers for your orders and wonderful feedback!:-) Since my first blog which was 2 1/2 weeks ago we have already sold over 500 pcs. of lollicakes!
Funny how God works, since me and Jimmy got back from our wedding in the US work was slow for me, but I believed that there was a reason for that. Instead of getting frustrated and complaining all the time I stayed positive and made the most out of my free time. Now I understand why God gave me so much free time back then...he was preparing me for this busy season!
Here are some photos of my recent creations:

The start of something GOOOOOOOOD!

2010-11-23T21:03:00.000-08:00

It all started last November during my first wedding planning trip to the States. I had a meeting with our wedding planner Jesi Haack at the Sweet and Saucy Shop in Long Beach, California. On our way out my mom and I were intrigued with these chocolate covered red velvet cake balls on a lollipop stick, so we each got one and when I took a bite, as my cousin Nicolle would say " I tasted heaven in the cake!". My mom and I were instantly hooked and every time I'd go there for meetings leading towards our wedding, I ordered some. I actually wanted to serve the lollipop cakes at our wedding, but unfortunately the venue didn't allow outside food so we had to stick to the traditional cake which was still really good.
As most of you know, I am back in the Philippines and I won't be visiting California as often because for one, my wedding day has passed and two the PBA is back to the 3 conference format. A few weeks ago, when Jimmy and I were in the car I told him "Baby, you know those cake lollipops sound really good right now!" He gave me that look like, "Sorry but your asking for something that would require me to get on a plane for 14 hours so I can't get you those right now". For me, ( of course being Miss "I have to get what I want"(not all the time though :p) and who has been spending a lot of time in the kitchen lately decided to do my research and figure out how to make my favorite dessert. My first batch was a success.... Well taste-wise it was, but the shape was a bit deformed, instead of looking like a ball it looked like a head with a flat top. Either way, I served it to my girlfriends who I had over for brunch and they loved it! One of them liked it so much I think she had more than 5!:-) I also gave some to The Groves family next door and sent some to my little sister Lodeanne who's really honest when it comes to criticizing me and they all loved it. The next day I decided to make another batch and I finally got the shape that I wanted. I was going to my friend Maricar's wine and cheese party that night so I decided to bring some which I dipped in pink candy melt and put white sprinkles on top for that cute girly look!:-) Again it was a hit at the party! I gave some away to other friends and relatives to get their opinion and everyone has been giving me very positive feedback saying I should start selling them . That's why I'm here now blogging about The Lollicake Factory! My husband Jimmy came up with that name because his favorite restaurant in the States is called The Cheesecake Factory. I suggest you try this yummy treat and I promise you'll be hooked! Ok gotta go now, I have to start making Lollicakes for tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner/Baby shower for our friend Julie. I'll post some photos of the Thanksgiving Lollicakes soon!:-)
