Life's Sweet Fudge

Archive for the ‘Desserts’ Category

I could not wait for my iphone 3gs to arrive by September so I can still surf, tweet and surf the net even if I’m not in front of my pc. I can even check on the various Cash cash Pinoy deals everyday too. Anyway, upon checking cashcashpinoy.com the other day, I was tempted to buy the voucher from Cold Rock, Australia’s premium ice creamery. One (1) Large cup of ice cream with two Mix-ins and one (1) Sundae at Cold Rock is only prized at P280 and 2-3 persons can share on the serving already. It was originally valued at 560 so you get 50% off. So, if you’re craving for an ice cream or sundae, check out Cold Rock today.

If you’re a chocolate lover, then watch this video that I found in YouTube. It talks about anything about chocolate. To tell you the truth, I’m not a choco lover but of course I eat them in moderation. I can take a bite, eat a half portion of a bar and I’m done. My fave chocolate is Hershey’s Fruit and Nuts, kisses, M&M’s with nuts and more. I don;t fancy dark or milk chocolate. What about you, what’s your fave chocolate?

These days, more and more people want to buy gold bullion and other precious metals as an investment. In fact, buying gold has been popular back in the days of ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans so it’s no surprising that gold are still very popular up to this day. United States Gold Bureau is one of the good resource place where you can find gold coins, bullion and more today.

Anyway, have you heard about this $1,000 popsicle? If you want to cool off this summer with elegance and luxury why not try one of this popsicle that is being offered in Marquis Los Cabos resort in Baja California Sur, Mexico . This popsicle is made out of 24 ct. gold flakes and Tequilas Premium Clase Azul Ultr, which is also expensive ($1,500/ bottle). So if you want to get a taste this oh so expensive popsicle, ready your $1,000 for it.

It’s summer once again and what a great way to cool off is to drink cold beverages, eat yogurts and more. Just this weekend my 2 teenage niece asked me to eat at Red Mango but I declined, they went ahead and enjoyed themselves. Poor me, my stomach is sensitive to yogurts, cheese and milk so I have to say no to this delicious dessert.

Just looking at the picture, I’m sure you’re all drooling as well. Haha, just be sure you don’t spill it on your upholstery fabric chairs when you are eating because it’s not fun.

I was out earlier today for an errands and oh boy it was already hot outside. I guess that summer will come very early this year and I’m just wishing that it will not be so scorching hot just like last year. I can’t barely enjoy going out for it’s sickening hot. The sun will make my skin so dark easily, it’s like putting tanning bed lotions on my skin.

After going out for errands, I immediately drink some cold water and made me drool about McDo’s Creamy Brazo Sundae that I’m always seeing when I’m ordering at McDo. Poor thing I haven’t tried this one yet so this will be on my list when I order foods at McDo. I love brazo de mercedes cake and I’m guessing that this sundae will not disappoint me.

I love cakes more than ice cream. Unfortunately, I don’t have any talent over baking but my hat is off to those that have the passion in making mouth-watering desserts and pastries. I’ll just buy cakes at the bake shops and enjoy their creations. Lately, I’ve been carving for cakes so much and always wanting to have cakes in the house. Talk about having a sweet tooth,. Luckily, there are 2 bake shops near our neighborhood where I can just buy cakes anytime.

Just yesterday, I decided to go to the newly opened cake store near our place. The store was appealing even though they have only few cakes on display. The baking supplies and even the big oven were displayed at the store so I know they are the once really baking them. I was amazed to know that the cake maker were guys and did not even have a hint that the guy who is getting my order is one of the owner/baker.

I ordered few slices of brazo de Mercedes, carrot cake, black forrest and blueberry cheesecake for take out. I was in heaven tasting all of them and promised to return back to buy again. Now, I have another option where to buy cakes since I’m already bored with the taste of the cakes at Red Ribbon and Goldilocks.

My sis who is working in one of the hospitals in Riyadh never fails to send us something everytime she knows someone who is coming home. She knows that our family loves chocolates so she’ll send Toblerone, Cadbury and more. One of my fave is Cadbury’s fruits and nuts while my mom loves all kinds of chocolates as she has a sweet tooth.

It’s perfect as a dessert after eating a meal and if you just want a little sugar kick, then go ahead and eat some. Sometimes they are my companion while working in front of my computer, checking on some antennas for tv online, watching TV or even reading my fave magazine.

There’s no doubt that I love cakes and there are times that I always crave for them. I guess I’ve already tasted all the cakes of Red Ribbon and Goldilocks and been trying also to try cakes from other cake stores.

One of my faves at Goldilocks is their CREMA DE FRUTA, just the sound of its name makes me drool already. It is made out of a two layer chiffon cake oozing with cream and had cherries and peach on top. Your mom, friends, and even a Maritime Injury Lawyer will love this, I swear! It’s filling and can satisfy your cake cravings. It’s not too sweet and it’s creamy that’s why I like it. In the middle of the layer it has some grapes and other fruits that makes it more delicious. Try it!

According to GOLDILOCKS:

“Goldilocks is first to innovate packaging for Crema de Fruta in the Philippines. Inspired by a Spanish recipe, it is now considered a Filipino “original”. http://www.goldilocks.com.ph

Oh my goodness, aren’t these iPod cakes look so cool?

Cake decorators are so clever these days for they can really copy the real ipods and even make them more delicious and tempting just like the real ones that also comes in yummy colors and with a touch screen already. I think I need to get one of these cakes on my birthday next year.

The only problem is that I need to find an outlet where I can order one that is close to where I live. I’ve been used to ordering cakes at a nearby bakeshop that sometimes the tastes become boring already plus they don’t have these cool cakes in their displays.
