My Life Joys

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.
