Berry's Barbie Story

Berry the Baker makes the prettiest as well as the best tasting cakes in town.

One day, a lady comes to her bake shop and asks her to make a castle cake. 

"My daughter is having a princess party, and she wants a cake shaped like a fairy tale castle for her 7th birthday. I know you are the only who can do it!", said the lady.

Berry had never done a castle cake before, but she wanted to make the little girl and her mother happy. 

She was up for the challenge. More than a fantastic baker, Berry was also an avid learner, and thought that learning how to make a castle cake will make her a better baker.

So Berry asked her friend Barbie, who is an engineer, and another friend Sara, who is an architect for help on how she can construct a castle cake that would not topple.

The three girls brainstormed on how to make sure they will make a solid cake that would not wobble.

They worked on measurements to make sure that the base would be stable and that the towers will not fall.

Berry thought of special formulations for her cake not to be too soft or too hard and for the  icing not too melt. Of course, it still had to be tasty.

To thank her friends for all their help, Berry prepared delicious pastries and some tea to calm them down.

The following day, she went to work, and came up with a cake so tall and gorgeous, the little girl and all her friends squealed with delight as they saw it being unboxed. It was also so delicious, the birthday cake was talked about for years to come!

Moral of the Story: Don't be afraid to try, and don't be shy to ask for help.

SM Kids Toon Fest 2014

SM Kids Toon Fest is a yearly event by SM Kids that never fails to remind us how fun it is to dress our kids. 

The theme of this year's SM KIDS' FASHION TOON FEST is "Kawaii", incorporating bright colors, graphic visuals and everything cute and lovable, as we all know that's what Kawaii is exactly all about. 

The Kawaii collection is grouped into three categories: Princess, Cutie and Hero. Check these out!

Princess goes with a glitzy slant on the trend with playful tutu skirts and pretty tulle dresses matched with princess tees in colourful pastels. Watch out for those hoodies with built-in tiaras, it’s perfect for today's modern little princesses that want to juxtapose their royal style with a little street flair. 

Character tees, fun hoodies and vibrant button-downs are the highlights of the Cutie category. Garfield, Snoopy, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and the lovable Sesame Street characters provide an eclectic mix of colours, prints and quirky pieces that will definitely be "conversation-starters" at school or the playground. 

Everybody wants to be a Hero—especially if the look comes with head-turning graphics, colourful denims and hip hoodies. Ben 10, The Avengers, Adventure Time and Cars provide items to help show off super style that your kids will surely love and have fun with.
