Baby Cakes, hidden in the basement of Evia Lifestyle Center, and seemingly out of place beside a hardware, a pet shop, a salon, ATMs, and the restrooms. But it can't be denied that it's a pretty little store. True to its name, it displays the daintiest of cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and other desserts. My sister and I sampled the classic Red Velvet Cupcake, and it did not disappoint. I hate crumbly (as opposed to moist) cupcakes, and this one was moist, with a balanced frosting to cake ratio. It was not too sweet, too! The next time you find yourself at Evia and you want a little something to satisfy your sweet tooth or to bring home to your loved ones, look for this tiny sweet shop and discover its treasures.

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.

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.

Construction workers, security guards, students, and even some of the rich folk often pass by to get some of their favorite Pinoy treats. Whether its a pianono, kalihim, or kabayan, anything you buy here will satisfy your taste buds. If my tongue had a mouth it would've thanked me each time I spent ten pesos here, which is often more than enough to get rid of my hunger pains. I became a regular here at some point because I often woke up late for class and ended up having to eat breakfast during my commute. If you've read my review up to this point and found it helpful I just want to ask you a tiny favor, give this place a try and help spread the word. The world needs more good news.

I came across one of the best pandesal in Las Pinas when I decided to walk home from work one day…read more An overwhelming smell of freshly baked bread filled the street and it came from Iyanna Bakery, a small stall dedicated only to selling Pandesal and homemade peanut butter. The pandesal was Php2.00 each and slightly bigger than a ping-pong ball. I bought a dozen and got a peanut butter too. As soon as the lady handed me the paper bag, I took a bite and whoa... It was hot, soft as cotton, and it tastes amazing.Now the homemade peanut butter was just okay for Php10.00 each, it's approximately 2 heaped tablespoons and placed in a small plastic container. The peanut oil was collected on top so it needs stirring prior to use. It was peanutty with just the right amount of sweetness.Iyanna Bakery's products were delicious, but for their staff, it doesn't hurt to smile once in a while specially people would appreciate friendly faces in the morning.

Growing up, my parents would always buy bread from the neighborhood bakery. We would enjoy freshly…read morebaked pandesal in the mornings and have either kababayan, pan de coco, or pandesal for our afternoon merienda. We have moved away from that neighborhood several lightyears ago and our lives have unfolded as they are today. Why am I suddenly a poetic?? Anyway, we have to find another panaderia (bakery) to satisfy our daily bread cravings. There was one a few blocks away from our house but they moved to another part of the city. It's too bad because it's our everyday source of malunggay pandesal. But, my parents, being ever resourceful, have recently discovered a bakery that's a tricycle-ride away from where we live. It is where we get our bagful of pan de coco. Their pan de coco tastes sooo good that I would always ask my Mom to buy us some whenever she does her errands within the vicinity of that panaderia. Each soft bun is filled with sweet dessicated coconut that makes it an authentic pan de coco. I have bought pan de coco from other sources before but they taste nothing like the ones that my parents would also buy. If you live or work anywhere near the Alabang Medical Center, this panaderia that I'm telling you about, is very accessible from the National Road. Go and buy some of their flavorful pan de coco.

I came here one time when I was vacationing in Manila. My family went to visit relatives and I was left alone to my devices...so I decided to walk around the Town Center. And along the way, I found this little spot with a name that reminded me of someone I'd rather forget! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! In spite of that, I decided to go in and try the place. And I was not disappointed! The service is great and fast. And the staff are quite well versed with the menu. I was still a little full from breakfast at home, so I decided to have something light...grilled cheese rolls and a hot chocolate. And they were superb! And priced within anyone's reach! With the pandemic, I do not know how the place is faring. But I hope they make it through these times, so that the next time I come home, I'll have a place where I can satisfy my pastry cravings! Try them!

I've been eating sansrival cakes for as long as I can remember. The reason for this is that mostly…read moreeveryone in my family loves it. It's not surprising for me to come home to find sansrival in a refrigerator with a slice set aside just for me. After coming home one night from my internship I saw a small box that our maid told me was for me. Curious as to what it might be I opened the box to see a small round sansrival cake. Having had a lot of these cakes means that I can usually determine whether it's something special or something ordinary. Crumbs Caker Art has a so so sansrival in my own humble opinion. Sure it's sweet enough, but something is missing that would make it stand out from every other sansrival I've ever had. Not sure about the price, but considering the taste I'd say it's most likely worth the asking price.

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.

Sometimes I even offer to buy her ingredients so she'd make me a batch of cupcakes or cookies. For these ingredients, we head to Barbon, our "neighborhood" baking supplies center. We like buying from Barbon not only because it's near and convenient, but also because we know their prices are quite competitive, and that their stocks are always fresh/new. How do we know? This is because a lot of people buy from them, and that means that inventory and stocks turnover is fast. Aside from these factors, we like that they are very friendly and accommodating when it comes to answering queries for when we encounter glitches in the baking process.
