Having sweets in the table is one of the Filipino superstitions for New Year's Eve. Some said this will bring sweetness in the family. This has been one of our family tradition aside from having twelve round fruits.

Bibingkang Kanin with Leche Flan |
Until the last minute, Mommy asked me to make bibingkang kanin (I will post the recipe soon). Instead of the usual sweet caramel, she asked me to make leche flan as the topping.
Aside from rice cakes of puto, cakes is also another option that can be placed in the dining table. Speaking of cakes, Red Ribbon wants to make every celebration special. Here is a press release from Red Ribbon:
Making New Year Celebrations More Memorable
Red Ribbon brightens tables, brings family and friends closer
Welcoming
the new year is one tradition that is observed all over the world. It is an occasion usually marked by
festivities and warm, loving family get-togethers that not only remind everyone
of the promises of the coming year but more importantly, bring people closer. It is a time when social and familial bonds
are renewed as a new year is ushered in.
It
is a time when we all look towards the future as we prepare lists of
resolutions with the intent of being better people. It is also a time when we welcome change for
the better and prepare for what is in store.
In
the Philippines, new year feasts are as anticipated as the Christmas noche
buena. In most homes, it is a time
when the most sumptuous meals are prepared and shared among family and
friends. And as always, the feasting
will never be complete if not capped with an obligatory cake or sweet ending -
indeed, the perfect punctuation point to any festivity.
“We
are one with the Filipino family in welcoming the blessings of the New Year
because it is a time for togetherness and renewal,” said Zinnia Rivera, general
manager of Red Ribbon. “And our many cakes and sweet offerings promise to make
the celebration so much more memorable.”

name a few - these sweet delights will surely make any new year feast so much
more enjoyable, memorable and fun.
Whether
you fancy round cakes, rolls, square cakes, breads or pastries, every item is
made with the best of everything because every family is worth it. But more importantly, opening a box or a pack
of Red Ribbon immediately makes the new year celebration something to remember
all year round.

many products have long become a staple of not just New Year’s celebration but
of any gathering whether simple or grand.
This is because we believe that any opportunity for family and friends
to come together should be memorable and marking the occasion with a Red Ribbon
will do just that.” Rivera added.
So,
