A typical calendar might not have any events for the date today, March 29, but for cake-lovers, it marks another reason to celebrate. It’s National Chiffon Day! So ready your forks and keep your eyes open for promos. To start, here are three cake news to begin your National Chiffon Day with a blast.
Jim’s Recipe just opened its doors in MOA late February to and people can’t stop raving about it. Some of their classic hits include their Original Sponge Cake (Php180) and the Cheese Sponge Cake (Php250), made especially for those who want to get a taste of Chef Jim Wong’s recipes. They’re baked fresh daily and you can even watch the kitchen crew slice it and give the cake its signature stamp. Believe us, watching it is entertaining enough to make you forget about the long queue.
The folks in Benguet really take their Strawberry Festival seriously. To commemorate the special event, they decided to bake a replica of the giant strawberry cake which bagged them a place in The Guinness World Record back in 2004. It took them three days to finish the pastry using over Php60,000 for the ingredients. The slicing started early at 11am last March 23 with the first 50 slices served for free. The rest of the cake was sold at only Php20 per slice. It must have been every cake lover’s dream!
3. Catch Cara Mia’s Strawberry Shortcake Before It’s Gone!
Just a couple of months ago, Cara Mia’s fan favorite, the Strawberry Shortcake, returned to the shelves for a limited time. The new version contains more layers and strawberries inside but to the shock of many, the famous dessert shop announced its last call for the pastry for those who still want to try it. It’s almost gone and it might be a while before it returns so if you want to get a taste of this wonderful creation, drop by one of their branches now!
