Vanilla Cupcake Bakery

This would be my last post for this year so I'll make it sweet and simple! ^_^

Two days ago I treated my mom and brother with a sweet dessert from Vanilla Cupcake Bakery that opened just months ago at Glorietta near the bridgeway going to SM.

The shop is NOT that noticeable at first glance because they're located at the apparel section of the mall plus the traffic flow in that area is quite heavy.

As you enter the shop, you'll  see a large selection of variety cute muffins and cookies in a clear glass display. There you can pin point your order to the sales staff  but of course you'll need to wait for your turn  first before doing so. Then proceed to the side cashier to pay for your order. 

They have so many flavors to choose from. My favorite was the Red Velvet and S'more muffins!

Here's what I have ordered

They make use of wooden fork and knife which I think is cute plus it can be easily recycled. ^_^

Unfortunately I was not able to order tea to go with the cupcakes since they only have limited teapots *boo* . So I ended up drinking water instead.

As for the shop Interior, it was also kinda cute yet simple. They covered the wall with white drapery treatments which I think was kinda heavy. Since the shop was totally covered with fabric! Thank god they used white! ^_^ 

They made use of a lot of designer chairs which is really cute but not that comfortable like the Daphne chair which where my brother sat. I like the chair but my brother kept complaining that its not comfy maybe because he has a very large body built. Though the other chairs was indeed very comfortable .

Over all the Interior was nice and quite girly, It has a eclectic and shabby chic touch to it., which somehow gives you a afternoon teatime feeling.

As for their muffins. I still prefer Sonjas Cupcakes but this one is also as delicious!! I think it's just bit sweeter than Sonjas. So for those who loves eating sweets, this shop is totally a must try!!

Took home a box of delicious cupcakes for the rest of the family to taste.

Thanks for Reading! Happy New Year Everyone!!!

The search for the best Strawberry Shortcake

Today my quest to search for the best Strawberry Shortcake in town continues. So early this morning I went to the "Mary Grace" to pick up the cake I reserved for my birthday!  It has been my tradition for 3 years now to have Strawberry Shortcake for my birthday, and once again I forgot to have my cake reserved earlier. Just liked what happened last year, lucky for me last year the owner of New Hatchin (a Japanese Grocery) was so kind enough to take my order even though the shop policy is to pre-order the whole cakes 5-7 days ahead. They even put a personalize message on my cake, in Japanese! *soo cute i'll post a picture of it on my next post* though they made me to return to the shop 5 hrs later, because they were still making it and still have to deliver it at the shop... So far my favorite Strawberry Shortcake is still the one I bought for Christmas 5 years ago at Jipan Bakeshop.

Anyways back to the story, I asked my mom to call Mary Grace Cafe early this morning to ask if their Strawberry  Shortcake is still available, luckily they still have 1 whole cake left *phew talk about luck* but sadly they were not able to put a message on it because the order should be 1 day ahead of the pick-update.

So after that we went to church then went straight to the shop to get my cake. While at the shop Mom suddenly got hungry, so  we ended up having lunch their. I must say the interiors of the shop is really pretty, the look was inspired on a traditional Filipino-Spanish Colonial House with a homey ambiance

Isn't It Homey??

What made it even more homey

 is the Table itself that displays the messages of the satistfied customers topped with clear glass.

The lantern somehow reminded me of "Harry Potter" *hahaha*

so pretty ^_^

Here's a Picture of my order:

Chicken Salad

Spanish Sardines in Olive Oil Pasta

*yum yum*

OK it's time to end my post, will blog about the cake review on my next post for now here's a sneak peek of  the cake
