The Cakes I Love...

Just sharing my favorite cakes...

1. THEOBROMA's Chocolate Cake

Glad to find this small stall in Festival Mall (Alabang) last year which sells Belgian chocolate. They have a wide array of products which includes pralines, ice cream, choco treats and cakes! I tried their choco cake slices which sells for P100 for 3 pieces. I loved it; it ain't that sweet and still moist even if its kept in the fridge. Didn't have much icing so you won't easily get sawa.. the cake itself is "brownie-like" which makes it a bit chewy.

Too bad I don't frequently go to Festival Mall but when I have time to drop by again, I'll definitely grab a slice (or even more). I'm not sure though if it's still 3 for P100 (hope it still is.. hehe!) but I'm sure that its definitely worth the price.

BTW, they do have a website if you wanna check it out. It's http://theobroma.com.ph/ =)

2. CHOCOLAT's Death by Tablea, Deep Dark Classic and Chocolate Carrot Cake

One reason why I like going to Mall of Asia is because I get to buy my favorite chocolate cakes from CHOCOLAT. I first read about how good their cakes are online, so I didn't miss to drop by their store to try it for myself. I easily fell in love with the Death By Tablea and Choco Carrot cakes. I love that both has bittersweet icing, and I dunno if I'm weird but I like keeping it in the fridge overnight first before I eat it. But probably I'd love the Choco Carrot Cake more if it had more nuts and pineapple but the choco icing's perfect.

Recently, I tried the Deep Dark Classic and at first I thought it would but too sweet.. but I was wrong. The icing was a bit sweeter than Death by Tablea's but it was just right. Same as their other cakes, it was moist and definitely yummy.. twas cheap also for P50/slice. :)

I was happy they are included in the "weekend market" of SM Makati so it's more accessible now. I don't need to drive all the way to MOA just to buy their cakes. Wish they'd have a permanent stall there already *cross fingers* :)

3. BANAPPLE PIES & CHEESECAKES

Got to try the following goodies.. there are a couple who didn't make it to my taste but the others... I simply LOVE them!

Banoffee Pie (P80)

- Truly their bestseller! It's uber yummy!! It had generous amounts of banana chunks perfectly mixed with dulce de leche. The crust itself was soooo good and the choco shavings on top was just perfect!! I just had to scrape off the whipped cream coz I don't really like whipped cream, hehe! Definitely a must try!! *w00t*

Honeylovin' Crunch Cake (P95)

- Love the vanilla pound cake & surprisingly, even the cream cheese filling (even if i'm not a fan of it)! The whipped cream topping is good too coz it was mixed with pecan brittles. I often scrape it off, but this one doesn't taste like the usual icing. I chilled it a bit before I ate it so the cream cheese and icing won't be melted which will make it extra sweet.

Fudgymudgymud Pie (P85)

- I shared a slice with my sister; but unlike the 2 other cakes I've tried (banoffee pie & honeylovin' crunch cake), found this a bit "nakakaumay" if you finish 1 slice. I ate just half the slice and felt so full already. It's a bit heavy to eat coz of the layers of choco graham crust, choco ganache, topped with whipped cream, choco syrup & choco chips. I had to scrape the whipped cream off though. But the best part is its choco graham crust. This cake kinda reminded me of Conti's Choco Overload Cake. It's a sinful cake. Haha, reminds me of batter used when baking...

blueberry oatmeal muffin (P55)

- this is a bit disappointing. Too dry. :( I love S&R's muffin more than this one.

Myster-Reese's Wicked Pie

- I so love this cake... it really didn't disappoint and satisfied my peanut butter craving!. The pie filling was rich and peanut buttery on a choco graham crust (yum! yum!) topped with pieces of Reese's peanut butter cups. I was in peanut butter heaven! I just had to scrape off all the whipped cream (since I don't like it even in other cakes/ pies) before I can actually start digging on the yummy pie. So I hope they lessen the whipped cream they put. Hehe!

I'll definitely go back to try more.. the cookies, Coffee Roca Pie, carrot- almond loaf and banana- apple loaf is on my list of must-try next time.. must not forget their meals too! :) Wish they'll have a Makati branch soon.. Katipunan is so far from my place.
