00:00Are you excited because it's cold?
00:02You should be more excited because it's Christmas and there's still a lot of business to be done.
00:12It's sizzling, it's sizzling.
00:15That's how paroles of Pampanga are like.
00:18Aside from being delicious while it's sizzling,
00:22it's also delicious when it's cold.
00:26These are the colorful parole cakes, edible.
00:28Or you can eat it because not only is there a birthday cake,
00:32but there's also a lot of business to be done during Christmas.
00:43As Christmas is coming, there are colorful decorations for the households.
00:48Celebrities who have their own themes will also be joining in.
00:53Mga Kapuso, come with me to the Christmas capital of the country, Pampanga!
01:02Different kinds of paroles are being sold here.
01:09Hello, Fatima!
01:10Hello!
01:11I'm glad I gave you a parole.
01:13Why is your parole so lonely?
01:16Let's do four.
01:19It's a surprise for you.
01:21I also have a surprise for you.
01:23Let's go inside.
01:24Really?
01:25I missed this.
01:26I have a surprise for you.
01:27Come, let's go inside.
01:29Chef Fatima opened her shop here in San Fernando City, Pampanga in 2016.
01:36Before I was born, my mom used to bake.
01:39So this is what inspired me to become a chef.
01:45After three years, she decided to design her paroles.
01:49She earned Php 10,000 here.
01:52The parole cake was inspired by our province, which is Pampanga.
01:57We all know that Pampanga is the Christmas capital of the Philippines.
02:02And Pampanga is also the center for culinary arts.
02:08Christmas paroles are so colorful that it brings joy to everyone.
02:13Especially when you're designing at home and you can see the lights.
02:18It brings so much happiness to everyone.
02:22Because of the unique design of her parole cake,
02:25her parole cake became popular in the provincial magazine.
02:30Chef Fatima is known for the colorful and unique design of her cakes.
02:34Almost all of her orders are custom-made.
02:39But Twin Bear Mugs is the best seller of her parole cake,
02:42even if it's just one design.
02:44Because we know that nowadays, people want to post on Instagram
02:50things that they can post,
02:52things that are beautiful to look at.
02:54They usually put it on their table when it's Christmas,
02:57along with the lechon.
02:59It's not just food, it's also one of the main designs on the table.
03:04It's not just in the design of the parole cake that you can feel
03:07the Christmas season,
03:08but also its flavor of chocolate and batirol.
03:12I chose batirol because we know that at home,
03:16when you season batirol,
03:18people will say,
03:19Mmm, it smells like Christmas.
03:20Because the peanutty and chocolatey flavor of batirol
03:24is usually a trend among those drinks every Christmas.
03:30When making a cake, just mix the dry ingredients.
03:33Flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
03:40Next is the egg, vanilla extract, milk, water, and oil.
03:43Just mix it and put it in a mold and bake it.
03:50For the filling and frosting,
03:51just mix the chocolate buttercream and chocolate batirol.
03:56Cover the whole cake with buttercream frosting
03:59and design it with dripping icing.
04:09For the parole itself,
04:10Chef Fatima uses an edible printed design as a guide.
04:14It's a wafer sheet with edible ink,
04:16and it's based on a fondant.
04:18It's like the ones in Toronis Tekasoy.
04:21We have star tips,
04:22so they're small stars.
04:24So we'll form a small star,
04:26and it will form a big star.
04:29Oh, it's my turn!
04:31Good luck on buying this cake that I made!
04:36Okay, let's practice first.
04:38Because we're not sure.
04:39Oh, it's big!
04:40Yes, it's just a little.
04:42There, something like that.
04:46Okay, let's try it.
04:48There, something like that.
04:51There, something like that.
04:53You can be a chef now.
04:55Oh, I can be a chef.
04:59Oh!
05:00I told you!
05:03What's that?
05:04I heard too much.
05:06What's important is that I didn't go overboard.
05:10I'm nervous.
05:13Where did it go?
05:16There!
05:17She's a good cook.
05:19Right?
05:20It's like my mokolmoko.
05:22It's okay.
05:24Patima did it.
05:26It's beautiful.
05:27I'm looking at it.
05:28Of course, I'll buy this,
05:30especially if it's cheap.
05:33There.
05:34It's beautiful.
05:35It's like a cartoon.
05:38Chef Patima, you continue this.
05:40I can't carry it.
05:43It takes 30 minutes for one cake.
05:47That's why it's called labor of love,
05:49to make a parol cake.
05:54Let's taste it.
05:56That's the exciting part of the cake,
05:58the cutting.
06:00Oh, wow.
06:01So this is chocolate bateron.
06:03This is chocolate.
06:04Chocolate bateron.
06:06There, can you see that?
06:08Mmm, yum.
06:11For the first time,
06:13we tasted a different flavor.
06:15It's really Filipino.
06:16It tastes like peanut butter,
06:19bateron.
06:21It's like 3 in 1, right?
06:23It's a combination of flavors.
06:25Oh, a combination of flavors.
06:26So, it's good with coffee.
06:29I'm not the only one who enjoyed the parol cake.
06:34It tastes like Christmas.
06:36It's delicious.
06:38The flavor is good,
06:40and the design, as you can see.
06:42It can be used for a giveaway for Christmas.
06:47It's delicious to eat,
06:49especially when you see it for Christmas.
06:54Aside from the parol cake,
06:55there are also Christmas cookies,
06:57designed by Parol,
06:59Santa Claus, and Reindeer Cakes.
07:01When Christmas comes,
07:02almost 500 orders of Christmas cakes
07:05are received.
07:07It's tiring,
07:08but I have my team with me,
07:10so there are a lot of us.
07:12Everyone has a task to do.
07:14There will be a focus for parol cakes,
07:16some are focused on sales,
07:17some are focused on designing.
07:19So, it's a task by person.
07:22They say that the pre-order system
07:23they use every peak season,
07:25like Christmas,
07:26helps them sleep.
07:27We'll release them for pre-ordering
07:29within a month.
07:30It's a big advantage,
07:32especially for businesses.
07:33You need to have lead time
07:35with each order,
07:36especially when they work together.
07:38It takes process
07:39to finish a cake.
07:42Like her parol cake,
07:43Chef Fatima's seasonal cakes
07:45are also colorful.
07:49With our Christmas cakes,
07:50we earn at least five digits
07:52for the whole season.
07:56There's no doubt that
07:57when Christmas comes,
07:58businesses earn more.
08:02For me,
08:03as a businesswoman,
08:04we need to be creative
08:06and adoptive.
08:07Especially this Christmas,
08:09we need to follow the trend
08:11so we don't get left behind.
