At first, I did not want to even touch the cartoonized dog cake we bought, I only wished to stare at it forever. However, my fork betrayed me and I landed my first slice, followed by another...and another...until I shared it with no one else. Hah! For me, it's best to be eaten cold, as the icing may melt. Their icing tastes like heaven, like literally tastes like clouds. It mixes well with their chiffon cake, and the inner filling through the layers. They also come with adorable accessories such as ribbons on top and also two lang candles to use or to keep. Tip: you can hold the cakes using one hand, so now you know...you have the ability not to let others have YOUR cake.

I am utterly in love with Purple Oven. No, seriously! They're my favorite bakery as of the moment,…read moreand for good reason! I don't really like sweet stuff, honestly. But Purple Oven's decadent revel bars changed that opinion pretty quickly! When I moved to the area, I was happy to find out that it's just one tricycle ride away from my condo (and I've abused that ever since). It's always been my go-to bakery for special occasions. Of course, the revel bars are always a party hit, as well as their cakes. But I think their cookies are one of the best I've tasted! (And i've tried alot, mind you.) The chocolate macademia cookies don't scrimp on either, and is absolutely mouthwatering, especially when they're just fresh out of the oven! (You can cheat this by putting it in the oven really quickly, at the lowest setting so you won't burn anything.) Purple Oven doesn't just do desserts either! They've got a pretty good selection of bread and quiches! Perfect for a lazy brunch at home. Just pop em in the oven the next day, and they go so perfectly with some coffee or tea.

Being a cake-lover, my husband once gave me 3 cakes from Purple Oven as a birthday gift. Yes, they…read moreare that good. When they opened a branch in Makati, I just had to go. I love everything about that place, I could really spend hours just smelling their food and staring at their desserts. And it doesn't help that they actual load a new batch of goodies in the oven every hour (with a schedule posted on the chalkboard of what's cooking by what time), I think I sat there for half a day and didn't even notice I've been there that long. Whether you're in for a savory treat or a sweet-tooth satisfier, they have so much to choose from. My top picks are still Grandma's Chocolate Cake which has layers of caramel between moist, rich chocolate cake topped with chocolate ribbons and the Banoffee Pie which has a pie crust filled with banana, cream and butterscotch. If you want just a quick bite, then try their cookie selection. I love the chocolate macadamia, very chocolatey and chunky and not too sweet.

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.

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!

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.

This branch is in a really convenient location and is maintained well. The people who work here are also super nice! I bought my birthday cake (the Purple Carousel chocolate cake) here, and they gave me an extra bag of sweets! My favorites are their: *Lemon bars - really great lemon flavor and have a tart, refreshing sweetness *Chocolate revel bars - probably the best I've had *Chocolate Campfire cake - very rich, but in this amazing way where you don't get tired of eating it! I've also had their: *Purple Carousel chocolate cake - classic chocolate cake with these chocolate wafers on top *Mini Pecan Pie - not the consistency I prefer in a pecan pie but the flavor was still very good *Mini Chocnut Pie - light, could use a stronger chocnut flavor, I really liked the crust though *Cookies - I love cookies so I usually get 1 or 2 with whatever else I'm buying that day, theirs are crispy on the edges and chewy on the inside *Quiche Tinapa - Liked this a lot and just ate mine chilled, but I think it would be better to warm it a little at home

There's definitely no need for anyone to convince us to buy from Potter's Bakeshop. Located just outside Phil Am Life Village in Las Piñas, this small bakeshop serves the goodness of old-time favorites such as the classic pan de sal, loaf bread, custard cake, simple donut, kababayan, crack bread, crinkles, and so much more. My personal favorites are the pan de coco, the Spanish bread, and the pianono. Their pan de coco filling has just the right sweetness and has a balanced texture. For the Spanish bread, I usually choose the slightly darker ones because taste of the bread itawlf contrasts more with the sweet filling. What I like about their pianono is that it tastes exactly the same even if I eat it from the outermost layer going in (following the roll) - layer of cake, margarine and sugar in every bite. It may sound a bit odd that I appreciate this, but for me, it shows how consistent they are with their baked goods. Insider Tip: We were told that the best time to go is between 9 to 10 am as it's when our favorites are brought out warm and soft from the oven.
