All About Cakes

admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 03:10:00 +0000

Since I’m salivating over the Chocolate Mousse that the husband brought me home last night, I just can’t stop thinking about cakes. I’ve just had too much sweets for the day already so to appease my craving, I’d just feast my eyes with these artistically made themed-cakes. Here’s a few of my favorites:

A circuit board cake for the techie.

Turntable cakes for the DJs.

iPod Touch cake for the gadget freak.

Nikon and Canon Cakes

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:59:00 +0000

Here’s something interesting (and most probably, yummy) that I found in my Google Reader feeds.

Yes, this is the new Nikon D700 but not really the actual camera.

It’s a cake! And this camera makes a great birthday gift for a passionate photographer and a Nikon DSLR fanatic. I’m impressed how the cake was made into such an interesting, edible replica. I wonder if the cake artist can make cake replicas of metal buildings also for those skyscraper lovers.

By the way, for Canon fanatics on the other hand, have these for your eyes feasting, too.

Are You Sweet or Salty?

admin — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:44:28 +0000

You Are a Sweet Person

When it comes to snacks, you’re more likely to grab some candy than heat up a pizza.

There’s a good chance you’re female (women prefer sweet snacks)…

Or at least, you prefer to be in the company of women.

Your tastes are simple and predictable. You are young at heart.

You tend to crave food you can just grab and eat.

Are You Sweet or Salty?

Blogthings: A Fine Line Between Insight and Stupidity

Wow..this is so true. Aside from my being affectionate, which the husband can attest to that, I truly have an incredibly sweet tooth. In fact, the barcode scanners in the grocery could actually break down whenever we shop for my sweets stocks for the week. I stock our cart a lot! From ice cream, to chocolates, cookies, donuts, etc. My latest sweet cravings lately are Goldilocks Polvorons which I’m currently munching as I blog.

Chona’s Delight from Teahouse Baguio

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:48:53 +0000

Going to Baguio City this Holiday season? Don’t forget to drop by Teahouse along Session Road or their SM Baguio branch and snag this delectable treat for your own feasting or as a pasalubong to your loved ones here in Manila:

Here’s what I have previously blogged about this sweet treat:

Ever since we tasted this heavenly cake dessert, we make it a point that this is the number one in the list of pasalubongs to take home from Baguio. This refrigerator cake called Chona’s Delight is named after the brilliant Aling Chona, the owner of Tea House Restaurant and Bakeshop located along Session Road. This establishment is one of the oldest chow place for locals and tourists craving for noodle snacks, coffee, bread and sinfully delicious cakes such as the above pictured Chona’s Delight. Tea House now also has a branch at nearby SM Baguio where we bought 5 small tubs of Chona’s Delight for take home during our annual Christmas vacation in the city of Pines last year. Three of the five small tubs were exclusively devoured by me..yes, that’s how delectable and addicting this cake is. It consists of layers of rich chocolate cake frosting and fillings of creamy custard and whipped cream. Don’t be fooled with the rich, dark chocolatey look but this doesn’t taste tooth-cringing sweet at all. In fact, you can really even consume all by yourself in one sitting the small tub which they sell at Php 105/container.

Red Ribbon’s Chocolate Smores Cake: Sinfully Delicious

admin — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:36:28 +0000

“My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of M&M’s and a chocolate cake. I feel better already.”
~ Dave Barry

I’m literally drooling while posting this picture. And all the more I salivated when I noticed that my recent snapshots share are all food…so tempting and alluring. This is the husband’s shot of his special Father’s Day cake…Red Ribbon’s Chocolate S’mores Cake: moist chocolate cake with layers of heavenly marshmallow and grahams. Topped with caramel and chocolate squares.

Cookies and Cream Cake.

admin — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 07:31:21 +0000

From among Red Ribbon cakes, the S’mores Chocolate Cake used to be our top most favorite but the Cookies and Cream changed it. Its layering of creamy cookies and cream filled with real chocolate cookie chunks and vanilla and chiffon cakes in between is the best thing about this cake. Plus, the soft whole oreo cookies toppings finishes the taste with a big bang. I just love it to bits because it doesn’t taste that sweet as you would think because of its chocolatey-cookies-and-cream appeal.

What Kind of Cheesecake Are You?

You Are a Brownie Cheesecake

A little chunky and a little gooey, you pretty much run on sugar!
You take hedonism to the extreme.. And people love you for it.

My Red Ribbon Prize.

admin — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:11:05 +0000

A few weeks ago, I joined a blogging contest sponsored by Red Ribbon in line with their newest cake product, the Cookies and Cream Cake. My entry was about the birthday celebration of dear hubby where I sent pictures of him and my son enjoying the Red Ribbon cake. And that could have tickled the fancies of the judges and picked my entry to win the first prize. No not as grand and luxurious as Las Vegas Show Tickets (how I wish!) but Php 1500 worth of Red Ribbon Gift Certificates. Thank you Red Ribbon because we enjoyed a Smores Cake for our Father’s Day celebration.
