While having a date night with my husband, we decided to order something different at M Bakery…read moreother than their famous traditional banana pudding. As we peeked thru the glass display, we saw blueberry jamboree bar and salted caramel tres leches. I melted from the first bite of blueberry jamboree bar, it had a thick layer of smooth flat cream, a layer of pecan crumbly pie at the bottom with juicy blueberries on top! Every layer had the perfect balance to the palate. We next opened the lid for salted caramel tres leches, it had a round sponge cake topped with whipped cream, drizzled with caramel syrup, soaked in evaporated milk like consistency. It had a pinch of salt that enhanced the dessert's flavor. Overall, it was a delightful experience!

Famous Magnolia Bakery has made its way to the Philippine shores and I could't be more excited…read more RIGHT. Who gets excited about cupcakes anymore? It's a has been trend. But since I've never been to the original one in NYC, I gotta check it out. Expect cuteness galore: the store is done in all pastel colors, staff wear dainty uniforms, there's even darling cake accessories and candles for sale at the counter. I gifted my friend several cupcakes and got one for myself. Red velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing, vanilla with vanilla buttercream, PB & J cupcake, and a standard carrot cupcake. She was happy with my gifts and was sure it wouldn't last until the next day ;-) I like that their plain vanilla is really well made and not boring at all. The only thing I'm sad about is the NYC pricing has also landed in Manila. Expect to pay between P145 to P165 per cupcake.

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! ;)

There were also numerous articles and videos about this bakery being the oldest bakery in the Philippines, which has been in business since 1919. I purchased four different types of pandesal, after reading about this place. There were a couple of pandesals that were still hot, and they were placed into paper bags. They also have cookies, cakes, pies, and pastries. I highly recommend going to this place early in the morning and purchasing their hot pandesal. I loved, loved, loved their hot pandesal that were straight out of the oven! Oh my gosh, if you're in the area, you've got to check this bakery out that has been around for over 100 years.

Offerings such as emsaymadas, cupcakes, mamons, and the like are available and are all fairly delicious. But it's their cakes and more specifically their cake decorations that are exciting. Iko's provides classically decorated cakes, the type you see in fancy weddings with sugar flowers and pastel fondants. These cakes certainly look as sophisticated as those you'd get in hotels and more expensive bakeries. Every cake at Iko's is a feast for the eyes and of course you can customize your own design as you wish. Flavor-wise Iko's offers great classics like vanilla, chocolate, and red velvet all of which are great but aren't mind blowing or particularly unique. If you're looking for great design and for a cake that is simple and classic in taste then Iko's is perfect for you.

Their mamons now also have ube and cookies and cream among their flavors. My favourite here are their mango bars which taste a little similar to butterscotch bars with dried mango bits. They have new variations such as the cheesy bar and pineapple bar. All similarly tasty and perfect with a cup of coffee. They also do customizable, made-to-order cakes for any occasion. Not only do they look great, they taste just as good too. They also have baked chicken empanadas that they keep in heated containers so regardless of what time of the day you buy it, it'll always be warm and fresh.

Truth is I really cannot tell lol. I mean different cakes have different recipes so you can't blame me!! Anyway, they have a variety of cakes on their stall, and the cost is just average. Around Php 100 or more per slice, depending on the flavor of course. As usual, I got a slice of red velvet cake and purchased a banana loaf for Php 25. Not bad eh? The thing that bugged me the most was the lady manning (lol see what I did there) the cashier. Not to be mean but I didn't appreciate getting ignored thrice. So, the cake. Well, the cake is really pretty. Haha. I mean, it's got thick white chocolate shavings on top, powdered with red something on the sides. I'm not really sure what that red thing was but it tasted like strawberry to me. The cream cheese and white chocolate they used have a good quality, but the cake was well over a day old by the time I ate it. So my feelings are a bit uhmm, in the middle? I'll give this bakeshop another chance when I go back to BGC. Their products look promising after all.

Take two of the most popular local pastries - ensaymada and bibingka - and give it a gourmet twist…read moreand you have a recipe for success. The base ensaymada that they offer is soft, fluffy and has a subtle sweetness off-set by sharp cheese. The bibingka is also soft but has a chewy bite that is usual for this glutinous rice pastry. They've put a modern twist on these classics with flavors like salted caramel ensaymada and ube-macapuno bibingka. They also have a lot of other unique goodies like the dense and flavorful chocolate yema muffin or their popular 3-bite buns. They have these in oreo, blueberry cheesecake, almond cream and the super cute street barbecue bun which is shaped like a little piggy. They have different flavors for their pastries each time I go there so there's always something new to try. Given they use high-quality ingredients and a unique combination of flavors, I'd say that this is a must-try for any bread lover. Their pastries are super affordable too at P35 to P60 per piece.

Service Transaction was fairly quick. Waiting time for churros was a bit long but very much worth the wait. I'm not satisfied with the parameters for Eatigo discount because you can't share; it's very strict. You also can't use the discount for the 3 pieces with dip, also known as Clasicos JR size. Which means, you'll pay for the churros PLUS the dip, but with discount. (50% discount reservation via Eatigo)

This place can be easily missed if you're along Sucat road because it's quite discreet-looking and has no parking. But inside is a different story--the vibe is reminiscent of Bellini's. It's cozy, homey, and filled with Italian-themed decor, a leaning tower of Pisa, and so on. You'll forget that you're in bustling, polluted Sucat road! We got the Aglia Oglio Pasta, and a Mushroom Risotto (that they made vegan just for me! Just ask nicely). Both dishes were really topnotch and exceeded our expectations (though to be honest, we had none at this particular time. I mean, any meal after a 10-hour trip from Vigan, Ilocos will be satisfying). Their servers are very accommodating, and at that time they were offering us these really fresh, gigantic portobello mushrooms they had that looked so tempting (but were quite pricey--though to be honest, I STILL think about that moment. What if we had gotten those mushrooms?!?! WHAT IF). Just like Bellini's, at the end of your meal you are treated to a complimentary jigger of Italian sweet wine. Bellisimo!
