Simple Valentines Day at Home..

Shop at More Food Adventures

Instead of going on a date, our parents came home with sweets overload: 2 kinds of Selecta ice cream(Hersheys Kisses Ice cream and Pistachio and Cashew Nuts Ice Cream),  Goldilocks Brazo de Mercedes and Goldilocks Leche Flan and a box of Chocolate Crispies balls. We still do not have a dining table due to Sendong, so pardon the image you see below.

For dinner we had barbecue from BBQ Station, bihon which Sweetie cooked and grilled "panga"  (fish jaw) bought from Inilog Grill.

River was overjoyed as Goldilocks Leche Flan is his all time favorite--- he could actually finish it half in just one sitting..

The Chocolate Crispies Balls was actually bought from one of NCIP scholars selling them because my mother took pity on the child profit will go to the child's fare in going home.

And I was totally floored as Brazo de Mercedes is in fact my favorite.. But since I tasted that of Baker's Joy in Butuan City, or that rich Brazo from Tiny Kitchen or Lachi's in Davao City, which is quite similar to that from Vienna Kaffeehaus here in the city, I find that Goldilocks Brazo de Mercedes is not that yummy compared to them... But Brazo de Mercedes will always be Brazo de Mercedes to me, so I am happy this valentines day! Hehehe..

Baker's Joy - Butuan City

Shop at More Food Adventures

During our trip to Butuan City, another cake shop that we went to is Baker's Joy. And for me, it's the second best shop to go to, next to Margie's. I guess even the group wearing Marcus scrubs, during our visit there, would agree.

It was yet very early, and the place has just opened for the day. As soon as we entered the establishment, we could already smell the delicious aromas as we were greeted by their very courteous staff. Then we went directly to the display of yummy cakes and pastries, for we were looking for a cake to give our cousin, the birthday celebrant.

We found Baker's Joy Double Chocolate Cake so tempting, so it was what we bought. But seeing that they have my favorites, we ordered them as well, but per slice.

I so love Baker's Joy Brazo de Mercedes. I do not know how to describe it though. It's just perfect. It's not too sweet to the point that one will reach a point of not wanting to eat it anymore. The middle part is rich and creamy, but not oily like some Brazo de Mercedes that I have tasted. The outer part is not at all airy, so you really know you are eating something, lol.

 And of course, Baker's Joy Nelusco Cake. I love the cake itself. It's rich. And the frosting is just divine. Those pretty caramels sprinkled all over are also  very nice.

We also tried Baker's Joy Brownie. Well, my sister likes brownies, she loves it. I wouldn't say I didn't like it, but it's just not "my brownie". But it tastes good, nevertheless. Overall, it was a very nice experience there, added to the fact that the staff are really nice.

Oh, and that's Baker's Joy Double Chocolate cake's look when sliced. It's truly worth noting that after thirty minutes that it was served, one slice was left for everyone loved the cake.. The next visit to Butuan City, we will surely get some more cake adventures at Baker's Joy..
