The joy and fun of spending time with family is more than the food on the table that we’ve shared in every occasion. The laughter and the smiles captured at the moment serve as memories to be cherished a lifetime. We had a dinner last night at our elder’s sister house. Joining us was the family of my other sister living at the same place. In these modern times, we can also bring closer those family members living in distance places. While having dinner, one of my nephews opened a video call to which the children of my sister living faraway joined while having their dinners too together with their respective family member also. That was a night filled with happy moments. In photo is the ube cake with yema frosting (condensed milk and eggyolks) I made for my sister.

Thank you very much for the well wishes. Next time, I will try it in ube buttercream frosting to compare which frosting is better. My favorite cake is the moist chocolate but I'm also loving the ube cake now.

Pretty cake. That looks a little bit like Jello to me though.

Yes, the frosting looks like. It is perhaps because it's not made of buttercream.

@ZedSmart Maybe. Or maybe it is just the way the picture came out.

Yes, it is expected that a little gathering is there for any occasion and important date of any member even with the simplest meal that we could share together.

The cake is nice, the color a bit weird for us European, who still consider that "purple/blue food" could be dangerous to eat.

@ZedSmart I know, but back in time everything purple (even natural color, like eggplants) was looked with suspicion.

There is nothing better than family and being together sharing food and laughter. So glad your other sister and her family could be on the video call. The cake is magical!
