Rocha's Puto and Kutsinta

Probably the most common kakanin in every Filipino household, Puto and/or Kutsinta. You can buy it anywhere, in restaurants, eateries, bakeshops, and it's even being sold at your doorstep by mobile street vendors in the morning. Puto and/or Kutsinta has so many variations around the country, different textures, main ingredient, colors, sizes, types, toppings and technique in cooking. Personally, my favorite Puto of all time is Puto Calasiao of Pangasinan. As for the Kutsinta, I don't have any because most of it is pretty much the same, they only differ in color, chewiness and toppings.

Don Benito's Cassava Cake in Holiday Boxes

Just only 4 days to go before Christmas and 11 days to go before 2022, people are so busy preparing for the Holidays.

So to lessen your cooking load this coming Holiday, you can serve Don Benito's Cassava Cake or even give it as a gift or your share to a potluck gathering.

Happy, Blessed, and Grateful at 37

Today is a special day for me and my family. It's my 37th Birthday and our 6th Wedding Anniversary! We had a very simple and happy celebration at home, normal everyday food, store-bought cake, some picture moments and chasing our toddler.

And this surprise Birthday Cake given by my youngest sister. Dainty, super cute, and really touching customized design picked by my sister!!! It's me during my wedding day, how thoughtful of my sister to also include a touch of our wedding anniversary on the cake. 

Bento Cake by Kaibakes - Chanyeol Day

Mini Cakes or Bento Cakes which first gained popularity in South Korea is now also a hot item here in the Philippines. Why not, who can resist these cute, simple, and eye-catching minimalist design cakes? They are perfect for small occasions, good for 1-2 persons, and a really Instagram-worthy cake.

This cute mini cake was given to me by my sister who ships Park Chanyeol of EXO. Honestly, I'm not a K-Pop fan, but I know EXO 'cause my sister is head over heals with them.

Tiramisu Meltdown Cake from Red Ribbon

Probably the best or one of the best round cakes from Red Ribbon Bakeshop! As you all know, my all-time favorite cake from Red Ribbon is Chocolate Mousse. For my top 2 cake, I'm torn between Black Forest Cake and Tiramisu Meltdown Cake!

Goldilocks Royal Fudge Cake with Toblerone

Heavenly moist chocolate cake with buttercream and chocolate mousse filling, topped with chocolate syrup, choco shavings and Toblerone chunks! I will give this cake 4.5/5 stars. It tastes good, the chocolate is overwhelming. The design is paralleled to the taste. It not only look good, it's also amazing. If you're a chocolate lover then this is the cake for you. Good Job Goldilocks!

Red Ribbon Cookies and Cream Dedication Cake (READ BEFORE YOU BUY)

Vanilla and chocolate chiffon cake layers filled and covered with delightful cream and real Oreo cookie bits.

The price of the cake is 500 pesos only. 

In my honest opinion, the cake is very mediocre. It is too far from being great, the Chocolate Dedication Cake is much better (not the rainbow color inside). The cake is dry, you wouldn't even recognize that its flavor is cookies and cream if not for the Oreo cookies because it tastes like an ordinary cake that you can buy from a small bakery, there is no cookies and cream taste. I love Red Ribbon but this cake is a flop, the prize is too high for its quality. The design was good but there is nothing more to compliment other than that. I'm too disappointed because I've waited for so long just to buy this cake. 

Overall my grade for this is 1/5 stars. I love Red Ribbon but I'm just being honest so you won't waste your money for this cake.
