Hi, everyone! It's been a long time since I posted on this page.
I, Jasper Castro, founder and sole baker of Happystress Pastries, was recently accepted as an Editorial Assistant for Yummy.ph. It's the perfect job for me, being a food writer and maybe in the future, a recipe contributor. I am learning so many skills from it in such a short time. Thanks to Yummy PH, I'm able channel my love for food in a productive and organized way.
I am also currently the Chief Communications Officer of Where There is Hope Org, a movement that reaches out to people with mental health issues. Here, I have a platform for my advocacy of Mental Health as someone who is living with bipolar disorder.
Because of these commitments, I am putting Happystress Pastries on an indefinite hiatus. I might or might not bake something for Christmas for a little extra money, haha. Or, I might come back to this after a few years. Who knows?
Still, I want to tell everyone, especially my family who helped IN THOUSANDS OF WAYS (especially financially haha), the people who liked this page, tasted and reviewed, THANK YOU!!! Your support, your love got me through one of the toughest times in my life. You gave me purpose, hope, and confidence. For someone who has never had formal food training--I was always so positively overwhelmed by the responses I got.
So, again, thank you! 'Til next time.
Happystress Pastries was one platform to share love and happiness, but now I have more, other platforms to continue to do exactly that.
Continue to follow my career here:

Cheers,
