Fancy Cakes and Crepes: My Desserts-Haven at Matalino St. Q.C.

If you are looking for a nice quaint little nook where you can peacefully spend an afternoon eating your favorite dessert and say “ Life’s Good”, I suggest that you pay a visit to my newest “dessert” discovery- "FANCY CAKES and CREPES”.

Cakes and Crepes goes well as these two delectable dessert are the prime offerings of Fancy Cakes and Crepes.

First encounter with Fancy Cakes and Crepes was when I attended the The Tang-Galing”  event at Manila Hotel, where Fancy Cakes and Crepes’ yummy Cheesecake was served. I kept the calling card that goes with the CheeseCake served.

I visited Fancy Cakes and Crepes  with my friend-cum-sissy Ann Ville last Tues Night (January 8, 2012). The place is bigger than I thought. Very spacious enough that you can also have your meetings here with a client. They have an al-fresco area.

Now here’s the fab part of my visit, I know I just have to order their cakes because I want to savor that “perfect” Cheesecake taste.

Here’s what I ordered for the first part : CAKES GALORE

Romeo and Juliet

 SMORES

Marshmallow Chocolate Cake Whole Php758 Mini 385

Smores is so good that kids will like them if you want them taste something sweet.

 Nutella Cheesecake 

whole Php 868, mini Php 440

This is my favorite among the 3 not because of the Nutella but because the Chocolatey taste of the Nutella did not overpower the Cheesecake itself.

The 2nd part was when we ordered our CREPES!
Anne Ville ordered the Midnight Sun. She just love anything with Blueberries!

Midnight Sun (blueberry Crepe)Php150

Love how my name was on my Crepe!

BananaNutella Php269

I ordered their bestseller BananaNutella (Crepes oozing Bananas and topped with generous servings of Whipped cream and Nutella Spread. 

The place and its ambiance suggests that I can do my work (do my blogposts) peacefully on a Sunday. The interiors boosts positive and relaxing ambiance which a lot of foodies now look for. What is Fancy Cakes and Crepes for me? It equates delectable desserts + relaxing ambiance= Fancy Cakes and Crepes.

This is how it looks inside, so homey makes me wanna plan my future house!

Feels like you're eating your crepe at the comforts of your home!

This is how their seating looks like outside. If you're always with a group who loves lengthy chit-chats and tons of laughs, then here's the perfect place to go! Can't wait to bring all my friends here.

Pinkberry Launches Chocolate Hazelnut Decadence + Cookie Waffle Sandwiches

I love desserts and I guess everybody will agree with me on that. Any meal is not complete with a sumptuous treat of dessert. Desserts caps any meal treat 

Anyways, I wanna share with you my new “desserts” discovery. Consumers now are very smart that they will search for a dessert that will not only satisfy their “sweet” cravings but something that is also nutritious.And I think my new discovery can answer the call for something “sweet” and “nutritious”.

SM MASTER CHEFS COOKING MARATHON: SM HYPERMARKET ADRIATICO tops with an SRO of attendees!

SM HYPERMARKET ADRIATICO is located near Harrison Plaza. Although not located in a prime area + a bad weather last July 26, 2011, it didn't stop hundreds of students to take part in SM Hypermarket Adriatico's Cooking Marathon together with its featured product for that day:  San Miguel -Magnolia.

It was amazing to see hundreds of people most especially students who took that Rainy Tuesday afternoon just to watch and learn about cooking that day. As I've said from my previous post I am actually a frustrated cook and foodie but still, the ever "curious and love for food" part of me said I had to catch this cooking demo with San Miguel as the featured products of the day.

For that day, 4 tummy-filling recipes were shared by Chef Jonathan Chua. Chef Jonathan was the Products applications Specialist for San Miguel Purefoods Culinary Center. He handles products such as Magnolia Dairy, Monterey Meats etc.

These are just among the many attendees that came for the cooking demo. If I'm not mistaken they are 200+ students because , the San Miguel team ran out of application forms for the San Miguel Great Food Club application forms they were giving away.

These were the featured items for the cooking demo. Just by looking on them makes me say "NomNom"!

There were 4 featured recipes for that day: Star Ranchero Rice, Cheesy Hotdog and Fries Sandwich Overload, Chicken and Mushroom Baked Rice and Peaches and Cream Caramel Trifle for dessert.

STAR RANCHERO RICE

I will share with you guys this recipe which can be an alternative for fried rice. While the other recipes here will be featured in my other food blog, just click the link here if you want a copy of the other recipes.

Cover and allow to cook. When done, season with salt and pepper. Transfer rice into an oven proof baking dish. Crack eggs over rice then broil in oven or turbo broiler until eggs are cooked. Serve hot. Can serve 3-4 person.

Cheesy Hotdog and Fries Sandwich Overload

This recipe is is so easy to do. This is good to eat during merienda especially for those who always like to eat their sandwiches with fries.

Even my son liked it , he even urged me to have a souvenir photo with it first before having a feast!

Chicken and Mushroom Baked Rice

This is a good suggestion if you are on the look out for new recipes or dishes to bring during potluck or small gatherings and parties.

Peaches and Cream Caramel Trifle

This is the recipe for the day. Of course nothing tops a good meal with out the much awaited dessert. But be sure to take small servings first to savor it's yumminess!

Chef Jonathan got his help assembling this desert from a Hotel and Restaurant student. More pictures below:

This is the sugar for the caramel filling.

 Layering the sponge cake.

The peaches!

The Cream, mmm...

It was sight seeing a lot of students who patiently stay from start to end of the cooking demo. Rewarding as it is  because San Miguel even raffled items for the attendees to try at home.

This group of students even took the chance to have a photo-op with Chef Jonathan

If the students were lucky enough, I think much of a luck too, since I had a picture with Chef Jonathan as well.

 Thank you Chef Jonathan Chua!
