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.

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.

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?

They sell good cupcakes to be more precise. I always thought that any cupcake that's priced below a cupcake by Sonja's would be something that was mediocre. This one proved me wrong. Granted, it's not the first one to do so, but it is one of the few that has. In any case, my experience has taught me that once a store has sold me on one of their cupcakes, there's a very strong chance that everything else they have to offer is as good. Anyway, lemme know if you do give everything a try and if there are flavors that are better than the others.

That's mostly because my favorite cupcake shop was just one mall away. Also, I was kind of doubting the quality of the cupcake. it only costs Php 65 for a piece of their red velvet and most good cupcakes I tried cost around Php 85 and above. Well I'll be the first to tell you that I was wrong to judge. Their red velvet was actually pretty awesome. Reason number one is the price of course. Most of their pastries are cheap, without the quality being compromised. They have cake pops, cookies, and brownies available. Their macarons only costs Php 50, which is a pretty average price these days. I want to try other cupcake flavors when I can, because J Cuppcakes looks pretty promising to me.

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.

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!

I wouldn't go back to a coffee shop where the baristas don't have a clue about what they are doing, or if they don't have the slightest inkling of where their beans come from or what not. Though the coffee might be good, I always like that interaction between myself the baristas, because, though I don't pretend like I know a lot about coffee, I like it when the baristas are knowledgeable enough to impress me with their skills. Caffera's baristas are well-trained like that. This compact coffee shop in the second floor of a building on my street corner may be small, but what I love about it is their dedication to the camera and photography concept, and its marriage to the coffee that they are serving. Merging the owners' love for coffee and food, the place was conceptualized as the country's first ever photography-themed cafe. To one corner is a mini-gallery of the owner's photos. I love their cute cupcakes and desserts which are topped with adorable little fondant cameras. The espresso here is strong, and I love their espresso-based drinks because they give me that caffeine boost that I need to keep me going. Sometimes, I have the entire cafe to myself, and it is conducive to studying and reading. And it doesn't hurt that it's only a few meters away from my gate.

The camera theme is also pretty cool, especially their drinks served in camera lens glasses. I remember the first time I went here, there was a couple having a conversation with one of the baristas and I couldn't help but listen in. They were asking about the shop, and it's amazing how well-knowledgeable the barista was as if it was his own establishment. He talked about the owner, where they get their beans, everything. There's always something magical about finding out the origin of something. I haven't been back here since because the shop's always full. I can only hope they open up a bigger branch somewhere else.

I've been a fan of Cupcakes by Sonja for a couple of years now. In fact, the first gift I gave to…read moremy future in-laws when I first met them, was a box of their scrumptious red velvet cupcakes with cream frosting. This was about 5 years ago and this particular cupcake cost about P70 to P75 back then. I believe it's now P95. For the weight-watchers, they also have a sugar-free of version of this, FYI. Recently, we got to try Sonja's 8" Rainbow Fiesta Cake for my brother's birthday (Yes, he loves rainbow cakes) and it cost P950. It was not only adorable to look at but it offered just perfect level of sweetness unlike most rainbow cakes that tastes mostly like confectioner's sugar. The layer of marshmallow icing wasn't too thick and it was covered with a generous amount of crunchy rainbow sprinkles. Inside it had 6 layers of soft vanilla chiffon in purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. The chiffon wasn't too thick and heavy it was more on the fluffier soft side which I personally like. At 8 inches, the cake is quite large so two people can even share a slice. Overall, we were quite happy with Sonja's Rainbow Fiesta cake. Unfortunately, they forgot to give me the free candle I requested (hence the 4 star rating) but it's no biggie. If you love Rainbow cakes or cupcakes in general, I would definitely recommend Cupcakes by Sonja. They offer yummy pastries and the price isn't too hefty.
