But my son was so demanding yesterday. He never stop saying “mommy, cake please”. I called my husband and told him to buy cake or mamon but still I bake cupcake.
I always bake banana bread or banana cupcake so for a change I bake calamansi cupcakes. I got the recipe from the Manila Mommy site. It was my first time and I was happy with the result, it’s soft, moist and not sweet.
But I was a little bit sad because hubby and son did not like it. My son was so excited to taste the cupcake but after one bite, he quickly went to our trash bin and pukes the cupcake. Imagine, I spent an hour baking this cupcake and this will be his reaction. Maybe, he doesn’t like the calamansi taste. I asked my hubby for his verdict.

Me: anong lasa?
Hubby: lasang sauce na niluluto mo para sa salmon
Me: Hollandaise sauce!?! Don’t tell me, mas gusto niyo pa rin yung banana cake.
Hubby: oo
Over sa reaction ang aking mag-ama but honestly, I like this cupcake, I’m pretty sure they will not include this in yummy magazine if this is not yummy. I told them, I will bake more calamansi cupcake, lemon cupcake and lime cake. (basta may maasim na taste) #pang-asar.

love ko din yang movie na yan. too bad your boys didn't like the calamansi cupcakes. siguro nasanay na nga sila sa banana bread mo :)
ReplyDeletesawang-sawa na nga ko sa banana cake e. sila all time favorite pa din. =)
Deletehmm interesting ito. sadly, I can't make one kasi walang kalamansi dito.. but I definitely would try kung may ingredients :)
ReplyDeleteSpanish Pinay
trivia yan ha. walang kalamansi sa spain. =)
Deletewe liked it here in the office, my first bite was... "weird ng taste", di sya sour as I expected it, it's a cake, and the icing? or the moist part are in my fingers and I kept licking it... meron syang after taste but still not sour as calamansi. It was actually good.. don't feel bad... your hubby and ethan are both so spoiled sayo. :P
ReplyDeleteglad to hear that. =)
DeleteHaha wag emotional mommy. :D Ganun talaga minsan pag may bagong experiment :) try mo lemon bars next time hehe good luck!

DeleteThey look yummy but I'm still curious about its taste with the calamansi in it.
ReplyDeleteparang lemon bars lang. =)
Deleteparang gusto kong matikman ang lasa niyan..
ReplyDeleteubos na e. =)
DeleteI've also seen the movie! I love calamansi cupcakes! Try mo din minsan lagyan ng lemon icing.
ReplyDeletesis, pahingi naman ng recipe mo ng lemon icing.
DeleteI love that movie, and isa yun sa gusto kong gawin ang mamili ng recipe book at gayahin lahat ng recipe dun and to blog about it.
ReplyDeleteTry doing lemon drizzle cake, para sharp but sweet - para win-win kayo sa bahay!
Well done sis, ganun talaga when you bake, some people would love it and other would say it's not their cup of tea...
Basta bake ka pa rin! =)

DeleteNatawa naman ako sa Hollandaise :) It can't be that bad right?? Pwede bang maki kain sa bahay mo niyan?
