When you hear “Mer-Nel’s” the first thing that will come into mind is the famous heart-shaped chocolate cake. University of the Philippines – Los Banos (UPLB) students will surely recognize this aside from the oblation in the entrance of this institution. A cake house located in Anos, Los Banos, Laguna, Mer-Nels will truly eclipse other cakes when it comes to the standard of sweet-loving Pinoys.
From a cake house in Lopez, they now have branches is Olivarez Plaza and South Super Market. I will admit that it came to my interest to get a franchise of Mer-Nels and put one in Metro Manila but I heard that the owners do not accept this arrangement yet. At the back of my mind, sometimes it’s still better for these businesses to remain with the original owners. Some of the products or establishments I used to love lost their magic when big companies took over and mass produce their once, or used to be, special products.

It’s the time of year when good friends are dear.. taking time to be kind to one and all…
As the song goes, Christmas is the time when we give gifts from the grandest to the simplest, with a the common thought that we give with a sincere and genuine care for each other. Lots of gift ideas ranging from food, daily necessities, gift checks, toys, and a lot of other choices flood the malls and bazaars (tiangges) all over the metro.

Red Ribbon has just launched their Coffee Walnut Bavarian. Presenting this first in its Premium Selections, this is such a good choice to give our loved ones this season. A mix of smooth coffee and Kahlua with walnuts, dark chocolate bars, and cocoa powder assembled together in a chiffon cake, this a work of art that is both pleasing to the eyes and taste buds. Our friends and family will definitely feel special receiving a Red Ribbon cake that is created specially for this season.
So make the extraordinary gesture of sharing this piece of heaven to those most dear to you. Visit any of the Red Ribbon Bakeshops or call 8-7777 (for Metro Manila) and take the pleasure of having them indulge in this season’s most delightful masterpiece of all.

Estrel’s caramel cake offers a taste of the past. How people enjoy their food then when there was no other luxury than fine taste on the dinner table. Established in 1947, Estrel’s is a part of history and still is creating one for the future. The shop is located in 54 Scout Tobias corner Scout Limabaga, Brgy. Laging Handa Quezon City. There you will find a simple shop with cakes symbolizing extravagance. Putting their efforts in making their best seller not just taste heavenly but also pleasing to the eyes.
Every time I see their cakes, I always rave about the icing flowers. Where on earth can you find this kind of originality these days? Where can you find such edible roses in it’s perfection? There are a lot out there but none so far has caught my attention in terms of craft, art, and genius using a soft, yes soft, icing.
For my mom’s birthday, I was unable to order in advance (at least two days that is) for a layered cake or special shaped cakes as I was squeezed between work and events! I had to buy off the shelf and it was still perfect. Everyone in the party kept on inquiring where we bought the cakes.

There were people who came in with different cakes, in all shapes and sizes. We served them as well during the party on the buffet table and guess what, Estrel’s was the best seller. The next day we had to eat the other cakes or gave away some to our neighbors. Some of them even asked for the address and asked for numbers.
So for you friends, here are some details so you may also enjoy and have a taste of this, literally, food for the gods and godesses.
