I've been eating sansrival cakes for as long as I can remember. The reason for this is that mostly…read moreeveryone in my family loves it. It's not surprising for me to come home to find sansrival in a refrigerator with a slice set aside just for me. After coming home one night from my internship I saw a small box that our maid told me was for me. Curious as to what it might be I opened the box to see a small round sansrival cake. Having had a lot of these cakes means that I can usually determine whether it's something special or something ordinary. Crumbs Caker Art has a so so sansrival in my own humble opinion. Sure it's sweet enough, but something is missing that would make it stand out from every other sansrival I've ever had. Not sure about the price, but considering the taste I'd say it's most likely worth the asking price.

Everything at Cielin's Cake Shop actually tastes like it was made right out of the comforts of your kitchen. A must-try is their mini cheese tart and moist chocolate cake - they're even better than those from the mainstream cake shops in the Metro. Cielin's Cake Shop is a bit hard to locate but once you see The Good Shepherd Bazaar, you're almost near the place.

Imagine hearing mass and dreaming about gooey chocolate cake crumbling in your mouth. Sounds evil?…read moreYes! Does it happen? Yes! Especially if the cake is from Cielin's Cake House. It's right in front of a church and if that's not an ingenious idea then I don't know what is. They have all sorts of goodies in this store and the prices are very affordable. I like how they've managed to give out the best prices while still maintaining the quality of their cakes. Oh you should come here when you're extremely hungry, it'll be fun I tell you. Last time I did that, I had 3 cupcakes in one sitting then brought home their famous chocolate cake for my sister. Don't ask me what I was on, it was fantastic and let me again say that I didn't have to spend so much. P500 can haul you a stash already. A cake costs around P300-P350 while cupcakes cost around P20-P25. See what I mean by inexpensive? But that doesn't mean the cakes here aren't excellent, all of them taste great! So if you ever find yourself in the area, go to mass then grab a cake. Trust me your prayers will be answered.

It's still very relatable, humble even. I love that the prices haven't been erratically affected by inflation, nor did it stop the owner from decreasing the quality of its pastries. Anyone who lives in the area I'm sure has bought one of their cakes at least once. My favorite here is the Aggy's Choco Moist Caramel cake. It's best for days when you want to fill your belly with chocolate and get slightly buzzed from all the sugar. They have great customized cakes too, perfect for birthday parties and other occasions. Come in the morning so you can get everything new and freshly-baked!

Aggy's Marshmallow Brownie has been a favorite dessert ever since my early childhood. The combo of…read morechewy marshmallow top and fudge-y chocolate brownie was love at first bite, so receiving one would always be a treat. And when my sister and I were still young enough for kiddie birthday parties, our cakes would come from here and the decorations would always make us and our friends go "WOOOOW". Now my little brother gets to enjoy that as well. Amazing how this tiny cake shop can produce such good pastries, and with incredible consistency over the years that the people of the south have come to rely on.

Baby Cakes, hidden in the basement of Evia Lifestyle Center, and seemingly out of place beside a hardware, a pet shop, a salon, ATMs, and the restrooms. But it can't be denied that it's a pretty little store. True to its name, it displays the daintiest of cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and other desserts. My sister and I sampled the classic Red Velvet Cupcake, and it did not disappoint. I hate crumbly (as opposed to moist) cupcakes, and this one was moist, with a balanced frosting to cake ratio. It was not too sweet, too! The next time you find yourself at Evia and you want a little something to satisfy your sweet tooth or to bring home to your loved ones, look for this tiny sweet shop and discover its treasures.

I was so fascinated with the Barbie house interior because everything was so pink and cute! The walls are always decorated with fun and bold colors, while the furniture looks so good and pretty that you just can't help yourself from wondering if it's all edible. The moment I walked inside the Vanilla Cupcake Bakery, I felt I was inside a real life-size Barbie house. The walls were decorated with colorful and lovely patterns, chandeliers that look like they're made from candies were hanging from the ceiling, little purple and pink figurines adorn the counter--I just can't help but feel like I am a character from a fairy tale when I am inside this place. This place has no ugly corners. Even the bathroom looks beautiful. I ordered their Red Velvet Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting and it tasted heavenly. Just a single bite of this masterpiece can make all of your problems go away.

In keeping with the trendiness of cupcakes, this bakery slash cafe is designed to appeal to what my…read moregeneration is currently obsessed with. The color scheme, decor, deliberately mismatched chairs and tables all scream cute just like Instagram posts - obviously contrived but trying so hard to be effortless. Then the cupcakes themselves are adorable, almost too cute to eat. Why would I want to destroy such a meticulously frosted creation? I'd rather just admire those little mounds of sugar than consume them. Also, it would be a lot kinder to my waller to not buy anything - a single cupcake is about the same price as a fried chicken value meal or shawarma wrap, and considerably less filling. They taste good, sure, but I can think of more interesting cafes (with wider menus) to hang out with friends.

For me, the proof of a good bakery is in their butterscotch bars and lemon bars so I ordered these. Their Butterscotch Blondie has the right flavor but, for me, leaves something to be desired texture-wise. Their Lemon Bar, though, was right up my alley with its moist texture, slightly flaky top, and chewy base. I had to fight my mom for it. Right price, big size - The Flour Girl is worth a second taste test, and third, and so on.
