Earlier in Fort Lauderdale:

A small send-off was hosted by the Filipino Community in the Sunshine State for our Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo before she checks-in for competition at the 69th Miss Universe this week in Hollywood, Florida.

Nothing crowded, nothing ostentatious – just a plain intimate gathering for our Queen.

Here are closer looks at the special cake for the send-off prepared by the Filipino Community in Florida for our Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo.

This unique dedication cake was made by JP Basco (of J&D Cakes) who happens to be the Food Network’s Cake Wars Winner and a Finalist of the Cake Wars Champs.

PS. Except for the actual doll itself, everything else is edible (picture frame and photo of Rabiya included). 😊
