Right off, I need to tell you that I'm not a big dessert person. I am more into actual meals than…read morepastries, cakes or ice cream. And yes, I do get a lot of, "But whyyy?" reactions from people. That aside, I do get occasional cravings -- days when I just really need something sweet to cap off a big meal or a reward after a long day. Purple Oven is the perfect place to satisfy my dessert desires. I love the Chocolate Campfire cake, it's rich, moist, chocolate cake that topped with marshmallow icing. MARSHMALLOW ICING! I suppose you could take a slice and sandwich it between graham crackers and call it a smore. For days when you just need a little sweetness, try the double chocolate chip cookie, choclate macademia cookie or chocolate dipped cookie (where literally have the cookie is dipped in chocolate). They're pricey at P60/cookie but they're a little bigger than my palm and the chocolate chips ooze out when you bite into the cookie. There is no scrimping on ingredients in Purple Oven. The products here would also make great presents. They're hefty and have the wow factor because of their packaging. The chocolate crinkles, lemon squares, brownies and revel bars would be great to share at the office while the cakes would be awesome to bring home to family or to impress in-laws. Enjoy!

Guess what was delivered to our place? An EMPTY birthday cake. It ruined our family celebration. (picture attached) We were truly unsatisfied with your service, uncooperative, and neglected communication. We asked for refund, however, you mentioned that you can refund the amount paid for flower decorations. We even asked to even add at least delivery charge to the refund.... But still, only P800 for your mistake??? We feel that it is very unfair that we spent a lot on it, ordered it 5 days in advance, called everyday for update if you got the design, did our best to make communication work out on our end, and in the end a disaster. How could you let this happen? How could you give an empty birthday cake when we paid extra for each flower and mentioned the dedication? We are very disappointed that our order wasn't taken seriously. We hope other customers won't experience the same situation.

Cakes from Costa Brava are always a hit for parties and celebrations! It is my top caramel cake…read moreever since my mom discovered it from an office party. This caramel cake is not too sweet and has a light and fluffy chiffon base so you'll want to have another slice :3 Their cakes and other baked goods need to be pre-ordered at least a day before and picked up at their lovely home along Polaris St. Bel-Air, Makati. It's not convenient, but it's super worth the travel! I love how the staff can be accommodating sometimes especially when we just ordered on the day of pick up (oops), and words on the cake can be personalized (without character limit!). My family's usual order is the 9x12-inch caramel cake that's worth P1000 (with free personal message on cake and 1 candle). Not a bad deal when we know how much dedication and quality this homemade goodness is done (and taste) over the years. Highly recommend this to those who want a light cake for family and friends. Kudos to Costa Brava! ;)

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

I discovered Estrels when I was still working in a TV network in Quezon City. It was the cake we…read morewould order if there was a special occasion at the office (a boss' birthday, for example). It's the perfect birthday cake because it tastes good (everybody wants a slice of that caramel and buttery goodness!) and it's always beautifully decorated. No need to think of fancy designs because they got that covered. For my daughter's first birthday, we had a fairy garden-themed party. I had ordered a customized fondant cake from a nearby supplier as the main cake and my mom ordered the big rectangular cake from Estrel's as backup. But at the day of the party, the expensive fondant cake took a backseat and the Estrel's cake took center stage. All our guests loved the cake. Some of them even had second helpings. It also looked pretty on camera. Estrel's won us over with its taste. The beautiful frosting is just a bonus. Make sure you call them at least a day before to order your cake. They don't do walk-ins.

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.

Despite being a neighborhood full of hip restaurants and awesome food finds, I feel like the Tomas…read moreMorato area lacks in delectable dessert places. While we do have Razons, a couple of bakeshops and coffee shops and some yogurt places, there isn't really one cake shop that stands out - except for Fleur De Lys. Fleur De Lys is one of the more long-standing restaurants in the area so they must be doing something right to have that kind of staying power. That something right can definitely be found in their molten chocolate cake. Now I'm someone who has had her fair share of yummy chocolate cakes, but this is surely one for the books. Fudgy, melty, gooey and chocolatey go oh-so-well together with the cold and creamy vanilla ice cream on top of it. For some awesome dessert, Fleur De Lys is surely worth the stopover.

I don't remember when my love affair with Fleur De Lys started exactly, but I do remember wondering…read moreif it was a spa or cosmetic surgery clinic back when much of the dessert cafe within was hidden by its unassuming facade. They've since spruced up the exterior, and once I've had a try at their cakes I've been constantly been going back for my dessert fix and have never looked back. Their cakes are gorgeous and delicious as hell. I've tasted nigh everything from their macadamia nut pie to their pavlova to their almond loca and I have yet to be let down. *Except* for this one time that I brought friends there and I got to taste a disappointing, dry cheesecake. CHEESECAKE! I didn't know there was a way to screw up cheesecake, to be honest. Maybe it was dry because we had it late into the night? I dunno. In any case, I'll still be coming back as I always see new things on display whenever I visit. Their non-dessert food is worth coming back to as well (their pumpkin soup and sardine pasta at least) and I do have plans to try their macarons and more of the Caramilk ice cream flavors they sell as well. Get to it, sugar junkies!

Conti's has been around for a long time now. It was new when I was still a kid and if memory serves…read moreme right the one in BF is the first one to have ever opened. Anyway, Conti's is a restaurant but is mainly famous for their baked goodies and cakes. Their brownies are an ever present sight. In fact, there was a time that I couldn't go to a Christmas party, funeral, or whatever without seeing someone eating something from Conti's. Usually it would be a box of brownies that people were passing around. In terms of cake, I would strongly recommend the Mango Bravo, surprised it's not cheesecake? It's huge and very sweet and one of the few cakes that I love that doesn't have cheese on it. Usually my sisters share the slice because of its mammoth size, but I for one prefer to go solo on it.

I was immediately drawn to the Dulce de Leche Cheesecake, but when I asked the staff for a recommendation, she mentioned that the bestseller was Toblerone Overload. And so I tried a slice of that (all cake slices are usually P100 up, so it's the usual price in cafes too), and it was quite nice with a mousse base and some Toblerone bits. Another time I was able to try their chocolate cake (I think it's the Mom's Chocoholic Fudge Cake), which a friend brought for a birthday celebration, and which I believe she also got from this branch. It was definitely one of the richer, more chocolate-y chocolate cakes I have tried. I definitely had to drink plenty of water in between bites!

Their cheesecakes are a must-try along with their famous Toblerone cake. Just make reservations in advance as their top selling ones are usually sold out on weekends. Their cake prices range from P 500-700 pesos and can usually feed up to 5-7 people with huge appetites.
