My Chocolate Cake is in Good Hands

After chilling in my refrigerator, my Chocolate Cake finally met its rightful owner. :)


First of all, I want to thank everyone who joined my birthday contest and greeted me. 

It was a 24 Hour Contest and I was worried if there are readers who would actually want to taste my first Chocolate Cake. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed then by the support I received in those hours. Thank you too to those who texted me a day after and asked if the contest was really over. I also want to thank my family who begged me not to give away the cake. Hahaha! I really felt the love. Thank you so much! :)
After putting my Chocolate Cake's fate in the hands of Random.org, Karl a.k.a. Santelmo of Pinoy Muffin Top emerged as the winner. Congratulations! 

It was my first time to meet Karl in person so I was honestly a little nervous. He arrived just in time and we had a brief exchange of thank you's. His family was waiting for him in the car outside so we didn't have much time to talk but we made time for a quick snapshot.

Before he left, I told him to feel free to give feedback. It was, after all, my first chocolate cake. When I checked his blog this morning, I couldn't stop smiling when I read his entry on my Chocolate Cake, check it out here. :D


Awwww thank you so much Karl, you just made my day! Thank you. :) It was really great to see you. Hopefully you can join us in future blogger meet ups. 


Once again, thank you so much for the overwhelming support! You guys made me feel the birthday love. :)
