Last month, I purchased a "sweet" deal from MetroDeal:
Since I haven't tried their cakes yet, I did some research before redeeming my voucher: (1) Googled and learnt that Bake and Churn has won the 2011 Consumer's Choice Award for Best Tasting Ice Cream Cakes and Scoops (2) Bought Ube Classic chilly cup at a kiosk in Alabang Festival Mall (@50php) ---not so sweet, just fine though my husband and I didn't enjoy it much since it was as hard as a rock!
So came 12th of February, my husband and I redeemed our cake at SM Sta Rosa to have a sweet something for our Monthsary and advance Valentine's Day celebrations.... ;-)
They are in different flavors: Mango Madness (not available) , Cookies and Cream, French Chocolate, Strawberry Cheese Cake, Ube Classic, Black Forest , Rocky Road, and Midnight Cookies and Cream. All of them are beautifully crafted and really mouthwatering that we find a hard time deciding what to get. We ended up choosing their peculiar, not rounded cake.
Allow me to introduce you to the star of our day--- the Midnight Cookies and Cream :
 |
B&C Cookies and Cream is just perfect for those who have low tolerance for overly sweet goodies since its level of sweetness is just right (but still, not recommended for diabetics. :-) ). Revealing what's inside, you'll have thin layer of icing and generous amount of ice cream sandwiched with equally moist chocolate cake. ( I was thinking I'm gonna get cookies and cream - flavored ice cream , but alas, it's still chocolate! hehehe.. I would rather name this cake Choco Overload , instead. )
All blended well, this is a sure treat to your taste buds.

B&C cakes are housed in a thick box, just enough to keep it cool. The storekeeper told us that the cake will not melt for 3 hours. We'll, I initially believed so since the Ube Classic (in chilly cup) we purchased days ago was so frozen. But this time, the ice cream was starting to melt after an hour (as seen in the picture above) . It's strongly recommended to put your cake in the freezer right after your first slice and be sure to keep your freezer knob at medium to high level.
OVER-ALL VERDICT : ( 4/5 stars)
Price : 4 stars (w/o voucher; 5 stars with voucher ;-) )
Taste: 4 stars
Presentation: 4 stars
Tip: Check Ensogo, MetroDeal and CashCash Pinoy for Bake and Churn Deals. It really feels good to enjoy great foods at discounted price. ;-)
