A Very Purple Oven

Sounds intriguing right? A purple oven?

Tucked in the quiet San Antonio Plaza Arcade at Mckinley Road, Taguig is a cute cozy bakeshop called Purple Oven. They bake and sell scrumptious pastries and cakes. Their products are guaranteed fresh since they sell goodies fresh from the oven. They even have a schedule on what pastry will be out – this means that not all their pastries are available all the time so make sure you catch their schedule. Purple oven sells a variety of cakes from classic sans rival to chocolate dome cake to lemon torte to cheesecakes!! You name it! They also have a bunch of savory pastries such as quiche tinapa and ham and cheese croissants.  

I recently visited Purple Oven in San Antonio; I forgot to mention they have four more branches in Luzon. When I went to Purple Oven I just had lunch with a friend so we decided to buy something sweet. Upon entering, the store felt so homey yet sophisticated. There were arrays of cakes in one side of the store and another array of pastries on the opposite side. I gravitated towards the cakes, but I saw that cake orders are not per slice rather as a whole. So, I choose to buy their Fudge Brownie and my friend bought their Chocolate Crinkles. The brownie was moist and it had walnuts inside. I loved it because it was not too sweet. It had the right bitterness and sweetness to it. It also had a crunchy and chewy balance. My friend too was pleased with the crinkles. I brought home the rest of the brownie (because each purchase is a pack of 16 slices) and my parents and brother loved it. Looks like I’ll be back soon J.

Cup + Cake = Love

       

            Well hello again everyone! This post is a Back Blog (meaning it’s a backlog blog that should have been posted earlier) J. I decided to continue to post this because I believe that this deserves to be shared J.

            Well last month (February), I decided to bake cupcakes for my birthday, since I love love love cupcakes. I also wanted to use a gift before it expires. My cousins from Canada gave me a Duncan Hines Chocolate Fudge mix. Because I did not have the proper pans to make a cake, I went on in making my birthday cupcakes. The instructions were easy breezy… and in no time I was done mixing the batter. I popped it in the oven for a couple of minutes and Voila! CUPCAKES! I did add my own twist to the batter. I added dark chocolate nuggets from Goya, for added Choco lateness, and sprinkles, to make them colorful. This was my first time to make cupcakes and they turned out pretty good. Next time, I will bake cupcakes from scratch! J

Cute cakes

            In line with my cupcake baking experience, I also would like to share about one of my newest favorite cupcake bakery, Vanilla. Yes, Vanilla is its name and cupcakes are their game! First of all, I fell in love with their store display because it looked pretty and dainty. It was cozy and inviting. It’s as if you were off to a tea party.  Second, I fell in love with their take home containers that were shaped like tea pot (so kawaii!). And last but definitely not the least is their cupcakes!! Vanilla’s cupcakes are so beautiful and scrumptious. I forgot the names of the cupcakes, but I did enjoy the chocolate cupcakes and the cupcake that was strawberry with Oreo bits on top. They have a variety of cupcakes that would surely tickle anyone’s taste buds.  

love! 

an army of cupcakes :)
