Although novel flavors and gourmet varieties have definitely made our dessert landscape more fun and interesting, old favorites have certainly kept their appeal. They are familiar, comforting, and evoke memories of a simpler past.
Who, for example, can resist good old chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow frosting and candy sprinkles?
These babies were ordered from homebaker Tony Velarde. Mr. Velarde makes yummy, traditional favorites like ensaymadas, butter cake and my new favorite chocolate cupcakes.
When ordering from Mr. Velarde, don't expect any new twists or exotic new flavors to surprise you. Instead, what you will experience is a childhood memory... "This is like my mother's own butter cake," my husband said when he tasted Mr. Velarde's butter cake. My mother-in-law who I am sure is a fantastic baker, hasn't baked a single thing in the last 20 years. But such is the appeal of Mr. Velarde's baked goods. Simple and delicious, they feel... homey. Like they were made by somebody who loves you.
All baked goods are made from scratch, without shortcuts or scrimping of ingredients. "This is a labor of love. This came out of the oven at 1 a.m.," Mr. Velarde said of the butter cake I ordered from him earlier this week. These cupcakes were freshly baked when they were delivered to me earlier. And I truly appreciate the effort made to bake things just-in-time. I strongly believe that the difference between a great cupcake and one that's just alright, is the time elapsed from baking to eating.
And these cupcakes, are GREAT.
40 cupcakes for Php 600.00. Unbeatable value. Perfect for potluck.
