Nicole

Nilalagyan nyo kasi ng malisya lahat e

This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you guys

Angel

Niki knew that posting his picture with the cake she made would stir up some old rumors, but she was expecting her friends to be more mature about it. Hindi pa rin pala tapos sa panunudyo ang mga ito.

She posted his picture because she wanted to show off the cake. Andy was baking a few times a week, so she got interested. Since his birthday was coming up, she thought that she would try to make him a birthday cake. It was nothing fancy. Just a one-layer cake with a simple buttercream frosting.

Madaling-araw siyang nag-bake noon para ma-surprise si Andy. But the surprise was ruined when he woke up at past 3AM to pee. Still, he was amused that she was actually able to present him with a cake that was not falling apart.

The downside? Lasa raw room temperature butter yung frosting. And the cake was very dry.

"I'm sorry I don't have a gift for you this year. Alam mo na. Tight budget," she told him earlier.
