wedding that'll be missed

Living and working in another country is one painful thing. But you see, it may sounded like a very used cliche but we work in order for us to provide a better life for our family and also for career wise move also. But the sad part? aside from being away from our loved ones, is the fact that we cannot attend those special events and occasions, just like the two destination weddings of my two friends, I was supposed to be part of their entourage but unfortunately, I had to beg off from the lists, though as much as I wanted to, I just can't come to their weddings. I know, it's really really sad, being not able to see my friend's happy faces as they journey to life begins... oh well, maybe I'll be able to attend the coming events like baptism and birthdays of their soon to be kids! It'll sure be fun. So there, guess too much of my venting, I'm being so emotional, bear with me... I need to release this thought or else I might gone mad!

Wedding and the like

I left one of my cupcake pans to Kathy. She told me that she would be practicing baking so she could continue our business even if I would be away. She is really good in organizing events and weddings, from the invitation down to the program itself she can do it. We started KP Creations as a hobby and just for close friends and relatives. I was baking cupcakes just for family and friends. One time while munching on a freshly baked chocolate cupcake that we made, she introduced the idea of making cupcakes as souvenirs. Our first client was a baptism, personalized chocolates and cupcakes. The chocolates were easy, but the cupcake was not. It was no near to perfection. It was raining then so our icing was not that stiff. We are both praying that it would not collapse. Thank God it did not, but I told you it was just a thread away from collapsing. Our biggest client was a wedding were we made 150 pieces of personalized cupcakes. With just two of us and our critic Amiel (her hubby) we were able to finish it early in the morning of the wedding day. I told Kathy that she can do destination weddings now. She was doing wedding coordination before as sideline, now she can do it full time. But she was a bit hesitant because of her schedules as a mother and a blogger. At the end I know in her smile she was saying that she would just wait for me after I return.
