When I found out how much my daughter paid for the two Ting Hun cakes, I was shocked. I wanted to get mad at her for spending unnecessarily for cakes that would not even be eaten.
A—-“What? Ang mahal naman. Di ba sa Red Ribbon lang or Goldilocks?”
My daughter reasoned out that mura pa nga daw yun because she was given a discount.
Cakes daw were needed for the ritual. They would be placed on the table and the groom and his brother would go around the village and in front of our house carrying those cakes to bring good luck to their marriage. Tapos, the cake for Oyen (HERS) would be brought home by the family of the groom, while HIS cake would be left here in our house.
When I saw the cakes, aba maganda naman pala and I was impressed at how the flowers looked so intricate and real. Hindi na daw uso yung matigas at makapal na flowerettes.
Beautiful his and hers cakes for a sweet married life.
His
Hers
Fast forward:
I didn’t even get to taste this. Edmund and Oyen got a slice. She gave half of the cake to the maids and drivers, while the other half she brought to the office.
