Joanne's Kitchen

I am not a big fan of almonds, but I love butterscotch bars. Joanne's Kitchen made me forget about my usual dislike of the nut with their almond butterscotch bars. And don't you just adore those little gold boxes?

Kitchen a la Ching

The folks behind Kitchen a la Ching pride themselves with their home-made liqueur cakes. I would love to try their Rhum Butter Cake (Php270).

Sweet Life Pastries

Green tea pastries anyone? I am a believer in green tea. A tad skeptical about it in my desserts. But Sweet Life's green tea espasol with ube filling is a sweet wonder. You've got to try it to believe it.

Tres Amores

They are all about apples- pies, crisps, cakes, muffins, cookies and even applesauce.

I liked their Crumb Topping Apple Pie (a 9-inch pie is Php540). My brother did, too. They have a sugar-free alternative, for those avoiding the sugar menace (Php580 for a 9-inch pie).
