Edna’s Cakeland

This bakeshop is one of the most visited place for those who are looking for pasalubong or simply craving for some sweet treats.Their specialties are different varieties of cakes and desserts. They do also customize cakes for different occasions. We tasted some of their best sellers!

Yema Cake

The sponge cake is very soft and has the right sweetness, the glaze that covering the cake is delicious, you can taste the yema-like flavor together with the lemon zest flavor making the cake not so “nakakaumay”.

Rating: 8/10

 

Mango Bar

This pastry is dry, No interesting flavors and textures for this one.

Rating: 5/10

 

Cheese Roll

The bread is fluffy just like the one in Goldilocks’ ensaymada with some cheese in the center. Nothing so unusual with the taste.
