These cakes made my sweet tooth happy

I've recently mentioned in my previous entry that I prefer cupcakes over a slice of cake to cover up the guilt but what I love about eating a slice of cake is the fact that I can fully appreciate the creativity of the baker in putting together a masterpiece that can only be seen through the layers of cake, cream, fruits, nuts or chocolate.

In this entry, I will share with you two of my favorite cakes which are not hard to find, are pretty affordable and are truly a delight to have after a good meal. Ü

Mariell Torte by Nothing Like Home-made...
Small : Php. 485 / Big : Php. 695

I had my first encounter with this cake more than a month ago. When two of my closest colleagues got this for my birthday. They ordered the biggest size and believe me when I say it was BIG! It think the box can easily fit a wedding gown. Yes, it was THAT big! Everyone in the office were awed and excited to try a piece that I actually managed to share the cake with everyone and still have a small portion for my family.

Beneath the colorful slices of apples, peaches and kiwis (my favorite!) are several layers of nut and custard filling alternating with crunchy merengue. It's very light yet truly satisfying!

Everyone really enjoyed their slice of the Mariell Torte that some even went back for seconds!

I really like biting into the nutty sweet custard accompanied with a piece of lightly frozen fruit. I also realized that it's best to thaw the cake a bit before indulging as it makes the experience more enjoyable instead of biting into hard frozen merengue, cream and fruit.

Truly, I'm thankful for my two colleagues who have shared this sweet discovery with everyone :) Now, Mariell Torte has gained at least a dozen more fans who'll constantly crave for this when their sweet tooth calls for it.

White Strawberry Tiramisu by Angel's Kitchen
Php. 159/slice

Growing up, I've never been a fan of Tiramisu. Although I do not entirely dislike it, I just do not find myself craving for it. I guess it's because I do not like having too much cream on my cake which I always end up leaving on my plate. I guess this is why I prefer chiffon cakes, fruit based desserts or ice cream.

Having dinner at Angel's Kitchen last night with long time friends, we have decided to get dessert as there are just too much stories to be shared and we are not ready to bid goodbye and head home yet. Going through the menu, my friend and I chose the White Strawberry Tiramisu. I'm happy that we chose this because of two things: #1) I love White chocolates and #2) I'm a huge fan of anything with strawberries!

Whereas a Tiramisu is known to have coffee or chocolate as the based flavor of the cake, this one is a different version specially made for the ladies. It's very light and fluffy which a generous layer of white chocolate icing on top following by a spread of strawberry jam and thin slice of chiffon cake. How I wish I ordered myself a cup of tea to go with my slice of cake.

Now, my every meal at Angel's Kitchen will never be complete without ordering a slice of their White Strawberry Tiramisu.

Here's where you can personally enjoy my favorite cakes:

 Annyeong! It's been a while since my last blog post and boy this year is zooming by oh so fast!  So, how has everyone been?  As for me, I've been extra busy with work as I recently took on a new role that's equally exciting and challenging but really, I love theAsiaparent and I love my team and I am so excited to grow with everyone this year. On the domestic side, Yaya M has left us (again and for good this time) and we wish her luck in finding her one true love.  Meanwhile, my twins have started pre-school this year so Paul and I have also took on our new roles as Teacher Mommy and Teacher Daddy. I'm still sad that my twins will most likely not experience nursery life such as meeting new friends, being part of school programs, gaining independence and more. Pre-school life was so much fun for me and it breaks my heart knowing that by the time the pandemic is over, they might have to enter big school already. *sigh*  I'm glad that we enrolled them in Kindermusik ea

Taste of Royalty : Caviar Pie by Kamikalu

From the name itself -- Caviar Pie -- immediately brings forth the feeling of being part of the higher social class where women and men would gather (pre-pandemic, of course) to socialize over expensive wine and cocktails and enjoy hors d'oeuvres served in small containers or on top of the daintiest crackers or crostinis. If we go back in time, it's giving me images of being one of the ladies of the Bridgerton  families as they would be waiting in their sitting room and would lady-likely spread just the right amount of Caviar Pie on top a piece of crackers. Forgive me as I was obviously Netflix bingeing all year thus the multiple reference to some of Netflix' biggest shows. If you haven't watched Bridgerton, well then, I highly recommend for you to do so.  Okay, going back to Caviar Pie . This is probably one of my favorite snack to have. It's simple to make but what makes it special are the premium ingredients found inside. In fact, it's like the classier, ver

Manoy Roast: Delicious Chicken and Frozen Meals

I've mentioned that Yaya M has left us already and if there's one big challenge that majority of the households are currently facing is the lack of good, reliable help. When a helper leaves, it's harder now to hire a new one simply because you have to take all the precautionary measures before she actually starts work and that means having to do the recommended 2 weeks quarantine, swab test and all the checks. The worst thing is after going through all that, you then realize that the helper falls short of your expectations or worst, she would come up with whatever excuse to leave right away *sigh*. We are lucky though that despite the countless number of undesirable ones who have given all the excuses in lies in the books, we have found good reliable ones who are truly blessings in our household.  I remembered when Yaya M first left us and we had R with us here at home. We would help out to make the workload lighter for her. For instance, we would take care of cooking to al
