Tinapayan Festival: Puffs, Eclairs and Beehives

I am never a fan of sweets especially that of a chocolate flavored treat but a sudden irresistible temptation shone upon me one day while scouting the area of Dapitan. Tinapayan Festival is known for their cream puffs and chocolate eclairs. Though they also serve different bread and pastries like that of a typical bakery but only much better; taste wise and presentation wise. Tinapayan Festival is always a busy place I cannot remember a day passing it without people inside. From then, I know that I have to give it a try. As suggested by friends their cream puff and chocolate eclairs is a must try. So what is expected of me, of course I gave in to their whims after all there's no harm in trying. Lol.

two of everything :)

Cream Puffs

Chocolate Eclairs

Chocolate Beehive

I order two each of Cream Puff and Eclairs and an order of Chocolate Beehive. The reason behind is that I find the shape of chocolate beehive cute and interesting. Haha. The cream puff was a love at first bite. The crunchy pastry with a not so sweet filling and a brittle sugar on top make it so addicting. While that of the Chocolate Eclairs, I love that it is not so sweet. Its chewy it is good but not astounding. The Chocolate Beehive has a very rich flavor. The cake is moist but it is tad too sweet for my liking. I don't know if it's just me cause I am not a fan of chocolate, you should give it a try though.

Tinapayan Festival has lots to offer and I can't wait to try their ensaymadas. Till next time!

Ciao!

The Bunny Baker Experience

I've been winning a lot of GC's lately from the giveaways held online, from food to cd's to flip-flops and even free passes from different events in the metro. Thank you Lord for the blessings. Recently, I won a 1000 worth of GC's from the Bunny Baker Studio. It caters to your need of a personalized cake/cupcakes from simple to extravagant ones. Mind you, their cakes look amazingly beautiful. You might find it hard to indulge because it so cute you don't want to ruin it. You can check some of their works here.

So it happens that the timing was right. It's August and the birthday month of my brother. I make use of the GC to order cupcakes that have a 3D letter that spelled 'Happy Birthday'. The 3D letter cupcakes cost Php 90 each. The regular ones are priced at 75 pesos. Ordering is through emails and it should be ahead of time. In doing so I don't encounter any hassle with my orders. The merchant is accommodating and also gives suggestions and that's a plus point for someone like me who's not into sweet foods.

The 3D Letter Cupcakes in a Red Velvet with Ferrero Chocolate Frosting

Originally I want a red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting but due to humid weather they suggested to have a ferrero chocolate frosting instead. Just by learning that it's going to be ferrero chocolate, I have no doubts that it's gonna be good. And it did not disappoint the cupcakes were moist and the sweetness was just right. The frosting melts in your mouth. It was heaven. There sure is happiness in every bite.

The birthday celebrant! Happy Birthday Bro!

Big thanks to the Bunny Baker Studio for making this happen. Simplicity as its finest. ;)
