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.

Cake: Its presence and as presents

On July 11, 2008, in Food, by mylifejoys

           When I see parties and special occasions from my friends’ photo albums, I could say from which geographical location the celebration may have been held or family’s specialties are when look at the dining table and the food they are feasting on… rr even a hint of the cultural background or race of the family celebrating.

 

     But in most of the occasions, cakes are present. Both in presence and or as presents that some of the relative may give as a gift or token for the special event.

 

     This sweet baked goodie is a center of attraction for most of our life events, may they be birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, weddings, etc.

      Estrelle’s - been around since 1940′s and their caramel cake comes with the most perfect icing roses that I have ever seen in these times where most cakes are sugar candies or silk flowers. Nothing beats the original!

A 16×24 cake is around P3,200 (U$ 74). You can also ask for fillings, such as caramel, marshmallows, etc. For big cakes like this, you can place your order at least a day before in non-peak season. Call 3722965 or visit their store in Scout Tobias in Quezon City.
