A sweet, simple and "new to us" cake to celebrate this year's Father's Day, MerNel's Medium Heart Chocolate Cake. MerNel's is known as the famous chocolate cake from Los Banos, Laguna.
MerNel's Cakes has been operating since 1996 and who would have thought that this bakeshop started as a small business in a basement of a rented house. MerNel's business name came from Merle & Nelson Balicao, the founder of the bakeshop.
So how come even we're on GCQ I got this heart-shaped cake from Laguna come all the way here in Caloocan City - North? Simple, I saw it in a "PasaBuy" post in Facebook. This Medium Heart Chocolate Cake (6 inches width) costs ₱245 based on their website. I got this for ₱365 plus a delivery fee of ₱62.
My first impression of the cake was... Ohh it's so cute because of its small size. The decor brings back that "childhood feels" when cakes were fashioned with colorful & vibrant icing flowers.
The cake was good, not sweet, spongy cake, the chocolate frosting is luscious, the colorful icing is sweet & sticky, it's like a marshmallow icing. I like it, the cake, icing and frosting textures and taste combines really well. However, it's not that moist, but not airy or super dry. If we're from Laguna this would have been our go-to budget-friendly cake!
'Til my next blog... Be sweet & be kind! Stay safe & healthy!
