This Fabulous@80 blog post is long due but it is one that must be penned and I pen it most joyfully.
My gorgeous Mama
I made a beautiful Fabulous@80 strawberry sponge cake for Mom’s 80th birthday celebration.
And Fabulous@80 was a wonderful fantastic celebration! … Filled with pop quiz, prizes and poetry, great food, family fun, joy, laughter and lotsa love.
Love and hugs all around
I scoured through hundreds of old photos and made a short videography for the occasion; reminiscing, honouring and remembering Mom as a teenager, as a young woman, at her cheong sam best, as a bride, a wife, a mom, grandma and more!
An age old love story
Today Mom is turning 87 and active, healthy and still always on the go. We are super blessed to have you Mama! Thank you for everything you have done for us. We won’t be who we are without you ❤️❤️
Any guesses who looks most like Mom?
This Fabulous@80 Celebration Cake is a 4 layer vanilla sponge slathered with Chantilly cream and filled full of fresh sweet strawberries.

Back to Fabulous@80! … Even as an octogenarian, Mom is always planning what to do next. She is undaunted in keeping healthy, energetic, positive, passionate, adventurous, relentless and always ready to travel to see and experience the world. That’s the spirit and kind of resilience I want to have too.
My two treasures ❤️
Truly age is just a number. I’m looking forward to baking more celebration cakes and celebrating every milestone in your journey. Luvya Mama 😘😘

Wedding Cake
When I first suggested to my brother to let me make his wedding cake, I reckon I must have been in a food coma or something. My brother and his bride, my new sister-to-be, very kindly said "yes!" even though I am sure they didn't know what they said yes to! As the...
