Cake Adventure #4

Strawberry cake -- our third cake in a row from Dulcelin Gourmet. This chiffon cake is lavishly wrapped in whipped cream and generously topped with strawberries. I could have enjoyed this cake much better had I not been under the weather which greatly affected my sense of taste :-(

Cake Adventure #3

This callebaut chocolate ganache cake -- moist chocolate cake with crunchy chocolate mousse filling, wrapped in premium belgian chocolate icing and topped with slivered almonds -- definitely made it to my top 3 most favorite chocolate cakes! The other 2 were: kilaueia (by Joy San Gabriel) and chocolate cake (from Starbucks). For those chocolate cake lovers out there, this one is a must-try!

Oh by the way, this yummy-licious cake is another great find from Dulcelin Gourmet!

Sorry for the blurred picture! My ageing phone failed once more to give justice to this wonderful creation :-(

Cake Adventure #2

This afternoon, we sampled another delish cake -- the mango torte! I'll just quote DCF's testimonial about this cake as I can't find the right words to describe it. This mango torte is...

"a study in perfect contrasts: set on a cashew-based nougatine, there are two alternating layers of cream then crust then an overlay of golden mango balls. Smooth then crunchy, hard then soft. It’s a dessert that’s difficult to get tired of."

This is one of the best selling cakes from Dulcelin Gourmet c",)

Cake Adventure

I was glad to know that there are many of us in the office who love cakes! Last week, one of my officemates asked me if I wanted to join them in their cake adventure -- sampling different cakes, that is! I quickly said "yes!" without batting an eyelash, haha! =P

And to kickoff this endeavor, we ordered black velvet cake from Cafe Mary Grace. I know the picture above doesn't look appetizing at all but believe me, it was heavenly! This delectable three-layered chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting was surely a hit!

I've been wanting to collect Mitch Albom's books but didn't get a chance until just this afternoon after I realized what the heck is keeping me from doing so? Haha! =P

Anyway, I bought 2 of his best sellers: tuesdays with morrie and the five people you meet in heaven. Can't wait to start flipping through the pages...
