My favorite's the icing, magically grainy and with the right amount of sweetness.

You know the feeling when you discover something really good and it's the same item you bring to…read moreall your potluck parties and give as gifts to your next door neighbors during Christmas? Well, that's Everyday Mom's for us. We've introduced this brand to so many people and there is not one person who didn't like the cupcakes of Everyday Mom's. We discovered this extremely humble cupcake shop a few years ago when their store was still located near the Original Max Restaurant near Scout Tuazon. Unfortunately, the shop moved to a more inconvenient location along Scout Castor. I say inconvenient because somehow, it's so hard to pass by that street due to congestion. Nevertheless, we still remain loyal to our Café Mocha cupcakes that remain the epitome of the perfect cupcake to me. While they do offer other flavors such as Carrot Cake, Black and White and quite recently added a few more options, Café Mocha remains my ultimate favorite. The yrecently increased their prices. But for the taste and quality they offer, the cupcakes are still a winner.

So me and my friends were walking along Tomas Morato to find some place to eat and we found this…read more It's a small place and it's best take out/to go orders. They have a homey ambience tho. They don't have a lot of various flavors, which sucks, most are either made of chocolate or vanilla and there's one with coffee. I chose the Dark Velvet one just to try it at home. But it melted when I got home. Maybe it was partly my fault cause I didn't get home until after 3 hours. I think the price is just right though you need to add about PhP10.00 for the box. Each cupcake will have it's own box if doesn't go by dozens or half dozens. So about the taste, I can't justify the taste cause mine melted already BUT I still found it very good even tho the icing melted. It was just the right kind of sweet. The texture is very fine and firm unlike other cupcakes that are crumbly. I'd give this a 4 if it didn't melt that fast and if it wasn't messy to eat. I won't give them a 5 cause the place is not good for dining in if you're with friends (it's better if you're alone or with one friend), and because they don't have a lot of flavors to choose from. Will drop by when I crave for a cupcake tho. I just wish they had more flavors.

Php 40.00 moist cupcake as good (or even better) as Sonja's (as it is considered as one of the best…read morein the market) apparently exists! Where else, but in UP. UP Shopping Center is not just a haven of cheap printing and photo copying services but of inexpensive and quality food and drinks as well. Visit Stall #3 and you will notice Amelie's cute cupcakes displayed in a glass shelf just right behind its stall's glass windows; it's the only stall that sells cupcake in SC's hallway so it's quite difficult to miss. Amelie's cupcakes and bakeshop is not shouting for costumers, it doesn't have any tarpaulin or signage posted against its windows much like its neighbours. I actually underestimated their cupcakes at first and thought it were just some cheap tasting cupcakes found in local bakeries because the store didn't looked like most of the delectable cupcake stores in the market. It was because of its affordable price of 40 pesos per piece that I gave it a try. After giving my lemon cupcake a bite, I felt ashamed of myself, judging this bakeshop by its facade. IT TASTES SO GOOD I CANNOT HELP BUT TYPE IN ALL CAPS! We all know that the usual price of a cupcake nowadays really goes beyond the typical food budget of most Filipino citizens, and I practically think I am one of those, so I was so happy being able to find an inexpensive QUALITY cupcake in UP. You'll know that every cupcake in Amelie's is baked with love because the owner Amelie herself is always in the shop, baking the cupcakes herself. Her cupcakes and other pastries (crinkles, brownies, and chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies) are not made in bulks so you can expect quality over quantity here. It's apparent by the look of how Amelie manages her store that she's baking not for the profit but because it's her passion and she's no question good at it. Amelie usually bakes cupcakes of Red Velvet, Carrot, Rainbow and moist chocolate flavors. She also has blue berry cheesecake squares, egg pies and other pastries mentioned above at very affordable prices. You can definitely order in boxes without having to worry it will go beyond your budget.

When it came time to make a birthday cake for my girlfriend's birthday party I really wanted to…read morepull out all the stops. However, I was unable to personally bake it myself as I was arriving the day I was to deliver it and traveling with such a cake I had in mind would be impossible. Marta's to the rescue! These confectionery pâtisseries are no dough punchers, oh no. I don't know what kind of sorcery they practice down at Marta's but the wizards working there know what's up when they conjure up magic in the form of a cake...and how... I had an idea in my mind of what I wanted the cake to look like and I detailed my description in an email to them. Three hours later I got a detailed computer generated 3D graphic of what was inside my brain. WTF? Sold! I don't know what they did to read my mind but it was pretty much smooth sailing from there. The quote came and shortly after I was assigned Diane as my point person throughout the ordering process. Diane was professional, communicates timely, and made sure exactly what I wanted was on the cake. The cake came out perfectly. Quality was world class, and the designs left no stone unturned; impeccably detailed. The cake was sweet and flavorful and all the toppings were completely edible. I recommend Marta's for custom cakes any day of the week and for any excuse to have something sweet. Customers should take note they don't accept credit cards, so make sure you are able to pay in cash or other means. I'll stop here and let my cake photos speak for themselves.

It's a shame because this branch used to be about thrice its current size, and I took little niece here several years ago to decorate cookies.

They excel in all that they do -- Marta's specializes in baking honest-to-goodness delicious cupcakes (get butter and butter with marshmallow icing) as well as creating cakes for every occasion. No matter what design you have in mind, these guys can make it come to life.

Others have tried, but they don't even come close. It is next to impossible to resist the temptation of cupcakes that are so consistently delicious! Whether you have a simple vanilla cupcake with vanilla icing or have a chocolate cream filled one, no disappointments guaranteed! I've never had a dry cupcake from Sonja's! They've always been perfectly moist and no one does icing like they do! If you're anything like me and have a crazy sweet tooth, here's a tip that you can thank me for later. When you buy your next cupcake ask them for extra icing! They're more than willing to indulge your sugary needs!

You can only expect the best from one of the forerunners of the cupcake craze in the country right? So I do, I always do. When I'm craving for some sweets, the correct solution will almost always be Sonja's peanut butter Nutella cupcake, or when I'm feeling a little bit adventurous, I am never afraid to just point a finger on any of sonja's colorful creations; they're always good. It's also nice to just hang around any of their quaint shops or stands, pastel colors and icing all over your fingers is a pretty good solution to a bad day. I never thought I would one day call myself a fan of cupcakes, but I'm glad to eat my words this time around. Now the next step for Sonja's should be bite-sized cupcakes!

So I found this store in Trinoma and, boy, they have a lot of flavors to choose from! They all look good! It was too hard for me to choose. They have two kinds- premium and regular flavors. Premium flavors are more expensive (like Php80-95). I think their prices are bit high for a cupcake. They don't charge for the packaging, and oh their packaging is sooo cute (cupcake shaped domes) and they also give sporks to go with it (spoon and fork in one haha) I got the blueberry creamcheese and the chocolate strawberry cupcakes. I kind of liked the latter cause the blueberry one tastes more of milk than blueberry, and I'm not a fan of milk. The icing was at first not sweet but the sweetness attaches to the throat and you'll need water. The composition was crumbly and I didn't like it that way, it was too messy to eat. In the middle of it is a surprise filling! The filling really tasted good but warning, sugar overload! It lasts longer than the one in Everyday Mom's, but well I wasn't out as long. They offer mini cupcakes too and letters to go with it, which is a happy thing to buy for a friend or friends. I only gave 2 cause of the cupcake itself, no dine ins, and a bit pricey (like you'd rather enjoy a slice of cake than just a cupcake). It's not overly good. The cuteness is deceiving. Haha.

I've seen Manila's food trends come and go. Like when the first Zagu opened up and when tonkatsu…read morewas suddenly a thing and when people were lining up for JCo (hang on, I think that's still a thing). One of the short lived, quieter fads though seemed to be the cupcake. Independent cupcake places started popping up everywhere and then it was over. I've seen fancier places but Frostings is definitely probably one of the humbler spots. Most of these cafes charge around 100php upward for a cupcake and I can't really justify paying that much. If I wanted to spend that much to begin with, I'd just go and find a full slice of cake. Much better bargain in my opinion. Frostings caps at around 65php for their more premium flavors and 50php for their regular flavors. (As of this writing. I've been told there's a price increase of 10php by the weekend. If you're reading this review, chances are they've already gone with the price increase. ANYWAY.) I can say you certainly get what you pay for. The cake isn't anything out of the ordinary. It isn't that dry either nor is it thick and dense. It's just... okay. The frosting however is a bit on the grainy side. Not your smooth, silky buttercream frosting, definitely. Cudos to them having a leche flan cupcake though. That caught my attention. And I did like the fact that they put it in an individual plastic dome. All in all, I'd certainly buy a few for a friend or two if I wanted to give them something special but it's nothing I'd actively seek out for myself. Cupcakes make nice presents but I prefer my desserts a bit more robust.

Remember that Cocina Juan review where I said that they're back and they brought cupcakes? That is…read moreactually literal as this is the cupcake place inside Cocina Juan. We had a cupcake boom in Manila maybe during the late 2013 and into early 2014. Naturally, we have reached our satiety point and became dismissive of those countless cupcake joints. But Cupcakes by Gremlins is another story, with its legitimately delicious and fresh offerings. PROS: Cheaper than the other cupcakes in the vicinity; Serving size is satisfying; The cupcakes themselves are rich in cream and really moist on the inside - just how I like them; They sell those little thingies you stick on top of the cupcakes, which is helpful when you're bringing some for a person's birthday or other celebrations; Packaging is attractive and adorable. CONS: They don't offer the cupcakes cheaper by the dozen, although the ones inside the jar has a bulk order discount; The options are typical, none unique to their brand. TL;DR: Rich and creamy. Perfect for dessert. Not bad as your contribution for Jessica's birthday.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case when I dropped by for a box of these goodies. The Hershey's was too dry and almost had a soapy taste to the base, and while the brownie and strawberry ones tasted fine, their frostings were a tad too sweet for my liking so I couldn't finish the whole thing. I have to say, I really liked their bestselling Banana Speculoos though - the cake was like a lighter version of banana bread, the frosting wasn't overpoweringly sweet, and there were nice hints of caramel and cinnamon throughout. These cute cupcakes looked so good in photos and I wanted to love them so much, but my expectations got the better of me. I did come near closing time... maybe if I dropped by earlier, things would've been better?

If you have a weak spot for chocolates just as i do, then you'd also do a double take when you pass…read moreby this beautifully interiored pastry shop. And stare at the massive blocks of chocolates with biscuits and marshmallows, which they call Barks. Yes, they were delicious and my sweet tooth was more than satisfied. Lucky for me, when i happened to visit that day they had a promo: for Php 199 you can stuff as many pieces of chocolate barks as you can inside a plastic bag, and you can choose between white, dark, or milk chocolate. The catch is you can only do that from 3pm - 7pm. Otherwise, the regular price is Php 170 for 200 grams. A lady behind the counter told us that someone was able to actually fill their bag with up to 500 grams of chocolate barks which would be like getting it at more than 50% off compared to the regular price. We were able to fill our bags up to 350 grams (it was more than enough for us!) I'd recommend this store, especially because of the promo!
