What's New at The Lollicake Factory?!



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

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!

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!:-)
