When I first started being aware of wedding suppliers and who's the best in their respective fields, I already knew I want Alex Franco to make our wedding cake. Being a cake lover that I am, I will not settle for anything less when it comes to my wedding cake. Hubby doesn't really mind actually and approved of my splurge for my wedding cake. I first tasted alex franco's cake during the wedding of ate Vi in Manila Peninsula way back 2006. Tiff brought some left-over cakes and let us taste the cake. The moment I got a taste of the cream and the caramel sauce, I was speechless really. hehehe. Ever since di ko na talga makalimutan lasa nya grabe. It was nothing compared to the cakes I have tasted when I lived in Dubai. The closest cake that I can compare to Alex's cake was the Mango Bravo from Conti's which happens to be their best seller by the way - IMO.
So when its time for me to choose my wedding cake supplier, I immediately texted sir Alex and ask for his availability on our date. Luckily he said yes. Right then and there I told him to blocked his calendar off for our event. You see, he doesn't require any downpayment or reservation fee whatsoever. Everything will be paid on the wedding day itself. Plus, he meets his clients beforehand to instruct them how to properly cut the cake. Syempre nga naman the cake is beautiful and talagang pinaghirapang gawin that's why he wants the couple to do it right din. Another factor pa, he gives a sample cake during the client meetup to help the couple choose the right flavor. O d ba? pre-wedding pa lang winner na ang customer service. :)
We met sometime in October can't remember the date though at Robinsons Pioneer. He was already there at the meeting place (kakahiya late ako). Grabe, sir Alex is very detail oriented talaga. As what I have mentioned above, he really teaches his client on how to properly cut the cake with matching tools pa yun, knife, plate, fork and an improvise cake made of styro which is the same size of the actual piece of cake. I just have to learn all of these things by myself as hubby is not here - - meaning I have to do the cake cutting, serving and teaching hubby as well on his duties during the cutting ceremony. He is very full of ideas on how to dress up the cake table. Upon knowing our motif he suggested on how to make the cake table bongga. We are getting the 5 layer cake which will look like similar to this:

By the way, here's the actual sample cake he gave me and they are right, it is sooo yummmmyyy:
I can't wait to taste the actual cake on our wedding. We want our guests to enjoy the cake as well that is why we are serving the cake to our guests. One year to go..
