Sainte Anne Cakes Manila: Banana Bliss Cupcakes

If anything, Sainte Anne Cakes Manila has always had a great track record when it came to fruity desserts like their shortcakes topped with slices of mangoes and strawberries. This year, they're adding another fruity dessert to their menu: the Banana Bliss Cupcakes which are moist and fluffy cupcakes topped with slices of banana, whipped cream, crushed cookies, edible pearls, and crème brûléed banana. It's like banana milk transformed into a dessert.

The Banana Bliss Cupcakes are great for your Christmas parties (and beyond) since these look gorgeous on their own, but better if you can have them displayed in a cupcake stand. Plus, there's no need to wash any dishes or utensils—just remember to ask for the disposable cupcake spoons with your cupcake order.

Price + How to order: Banana Bliss Cupcakes costs P2,220 per dozen, there is an additional P90 for cupcake spoons. You can fill out Sainte Anne Cakes Manila's order form to place an order.
