Eurobake Original Inipit of Bulacan

What is Inipit? It's a Filipino cake-like pastry, inipit is a Tagalog/Filipino word which means pressed in between or sandwiched. The sweet filling is sandwiched between two fluffy chiffon-like cakes. And it is known that Inipit is a specialty in the province of Malolos and Guiguinto in Bulacan.

Echague Bakery's Buttercrust Hopia

I've known Echague Bakery since I was a kid, whenever we go to Manila or Caloocan City to visit our relatives who lived there, we always drop by to this bakeshop to buy our parents' favorite Hopia! For them it is the best and their favorite Hopia of all the Hopia that you can buy here in the Philippines. As for me, honestly, I'm not a fan of Hopia, since I can remember I rarely eat Hopia. But most Filipinos love Hopia! 

Nathaniel's Custard Cake

Nathaniel's Custard Cake is very light, not too sweet and so yummy!!! Super light but not airy in texture chiffon cake topped with custard. A box of Nathaniel's Custard Cake cost ₱165.00 and contains 9 square mini cakes. Honestly I can murder three mini cakes in one sitting :)! Custard cake is perfect for dessert and snack time.

Assorted Breads from The French Baker

Here good breads from The French Baker. My favorite bread from this bakeshop is Raisin Bonnet, which I had created a post four months ago. First up is French Baker's Brownies topped with chopped cashew nuts, these big and not-too-sweet goodies cost ₱37.00 each. They are different from traditional brownies because it is much bigger.   

  

Sophie's Mom at Port 88 Bazaar

Another late post, sorry I was sick these past couple of days. Anyways, let me share to you this wonderful experience that me and my sister went through. Surely you will love this blog post because it's all about sweets and pastries by Sophie's Mom. The story begins when I won GC from Sophie's Mom courtesy of Saab Magalona's blog. They sent me the GC to my email and the mechanics on how to claim it. Sophie's Mom is located at 8760 Santol St., San Antonio Village, 1203 Makati, Philippines, it's really far from my place. I emailed Ms. Tonette Rosal if I can extend the validity of my GC and I was glad that she invited me to Port 88 Bazaar at Ortigas Center which they are featured, and I can claim my GC there.

Conti's Pastry Shop and Restaurant

I want to have a new and cool birthday cake, so I went to Conti's to check what they have. Their Best-Seller cake is Mango Bravo, it's really unique and very yummy but I want to taste a different one.

There are a lot of customers at Conti's when we came, there are two lines actually. The images below are not showing many people because the restaurant has many seats at their waiting area.

The French Baker's Raisin Bonnet

Raisin Bonnet is included in my Top 5 favorite breads from The French Baker. It's because I love raisins!!! This is my snack earlier paired with bottomless ice cold water :) and I enjoyed it! The bread texture is not soft but not that hard and it's not dry, I guess the perfect beverage pairing for this is a cup of hot chocolate or coffee. It's not a sweet bread however the sweetness of the raisins jives in.

Heavenly Triple Chocolate Roll

I know it's very chocolatety, luscious and sinful! Chocolate lovers will surely enjoy this great cake roll offered by Red Ribbon Bakeshop. A regular cake roll size that you can enjoy at 299.00php or 195.00php for a half roll.

Red Ribbon Mocha Choco Crumble Birthday Cake

It's my sister's 23rd Birthday and Mocha Choco Crumble Cake from Red Ribbon is her birthday cake! Mocha cake is Lenny's (my sister's nickname) favorite that's why I bought this treat for her! Mocha Choco Crumble Cake is made up of layers of chiffon cake, bits crunchy chocolate crumble, oozing rich mocha cream, the base is crunchy chocolate crumble made out of rice crispies I think, and topped with chocolate and mocha creme.

Pastel by Megamelt Bakeshop

What do you have for snack time? Try this Pastel by Megamelt Bakeshop that costs ₱12.00. Pastel is a pastry bread which is very known in Camiguin Island in Mindanao, it's a bun filled with scrumptious and luscious Yema filling. Until now I haven't tasted the famous Pastel de Camigiun so whenever I saw a pastel bread in any bakeshop I buy and taste it.

Megamelt's version of Pastel is just fine. The bread itself is delicious, soft and fluffy however the yema filling is so little actually I haven't tasted the yema so much. It can be perfectly paired with a cup of hot coffee. I'm still on a search of a perfect Pastel for me, I hope sooner or later I can indulge myself on the delectable Pastel de Camiguin.

You guys know where can I but it here in Metro Manila?

Fancy and Gorgeous Cakes by Edible Ideas

Looking for nice bakeshop (personalized cakes, wedding, birthday and even cupcakes) within Commonwealth, Fairview and Novaliches area? Edible Ideas is just around the corner. I accompany my best-friend Arcelie going to her second cousin's own bakeshop. I'm excited to go with her to check the cakes in store. Unfortunately there's no cake display when we got there, however they got cake albums which I took picture and posted here. They have a lot of varieties, design, and styles of cakes.

Muhlach's Famous Ensaymada

My sister just went home with this delish pasalubong! Special ensaymada from Megamelt Bakeshop, which is owned by actor Niño Muchlach. It's a box of 12 ensaymada, 6 were regular Cheese Ensaymada, 3 Ube Ensaymada and 3 Macapuno Ensaymada. I don't eat ube nor macapuno, however it's my dad's favorite. Cheese ensaymada costs ₱15.00 each while ensaymada with fillings or flavors costs ₱18.00.

This is so yummy, great for merienda or as a dessert. I'm a cheese addict and it comforts me! The bread is so fluffy, moist and soft; and it's covered with cheese!!! A delectable treat for the whole family! It has lots of branches, I guess all malls in the metro has Megamelt store.

What is your ensaymada story? Share it with me and to my viewers...
