SPOT.ph wants to know: Which desserts deserve to be on everyone's list?
You should try Avocado Sansrival of Dulcelli Cakes. Uber Yummy!! www.dulcellicakesdessert.multiply.com
mango bravo of Conti's
The Jackfruit Sans Rival at Museum Cafe is the best for me. It is not only unique...it is simply divine.
whatever happened to the Butter Cake of Becky's Kitchen and Kookie Monster/Korner's chocolate cake? Can I still find them here?They were the best!
The best marshmallow white icing cake at costa brava at mkti, best strawberry shortcake at bizu, best chocolate cake at chocolate kiss. These cake shop is to die for... kya mtaba ako eh.hehehe
Oh boy everything looks so good! I would like to add my forever favorite, the Valrhona Choc Nut Cake of M Cafe. Oh yum!
hi! how come Hizon's ensaymadas ( to die for) isnt on the list?
and the chocolate kiss made it!! wow try their blueberry cheesecake (definately rich) or their chocolate cake with white icing - very good with coffee!
i wanna go home and eat those cakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mango-walnut torte at Mom & Tina's and Pannacotta at Cibo are yummy too! :)
the sweet life's sweet surrender/frozen brazo de mercedes!
You should try Jenny Silayan's Mint Pavlova! & Frozen Brazo from.. Somewhere in Makati!
Sucree' Torte and Gateau Negra at Sucree are some of the really great tasting cakes. The Chocolate Meringue Mousse of Max Brenner is realy very good too.
Although this killer dessert is only being sold at a local convenient store, it definitely tops my list...... Ministiop recently introduced a one of a kind cassava cake with a very distinctive taste because of its very special creamy topping that's similar to a leche flan. They call it "Creamy Cassava Cake" and is indeed "to die for".
