Sweet Treats for Your Holidays

If you’re a foodie, or specifically a sweet tooth like I am, tuning on to food bloggers and their top picks and recommendations is a must. Now that the holidays are only a few weeks away and Christmas parties springing every few days, bringing scrumptious desserts are certainly appreciated, to say the least. My husband, unfortunately, is not that fond of cakes and desserts. I, however, am in sweet heaven just thinking about it. I do try to make sure that my kid doesn’t take after me because I am truly addicted to sweets, it’s not even a joke.

Lori Baltazar, of Dessert Comes First, has released her Manila’s 10 Best Desserts (part 1 and part 2). Out of her list, I had only tried out Sweet Bella’s cakes. Truth be told, that was on assignment for Wedding Essentials featuring Christina’s lovely dessert bars. The Strawberry Charlotte is both luscious and light, a must try for those who like to mix the fruit and sugar. Christina, when it comes to chocolate, likes it dark. Rich without the suya. I salivate with the memory.

Being a fan of Lori, I look forward to checking out the items on her list. Incidentally, I happened to have been part of her amazing dessert tea party a couple of years ago where I feasted about the scrumptious fare of her (then) favorite homebakers. One of them, Roshan, just recently and finally went online (thanks to Marketmanila for the tip). Her cookies are huge and she does now scrimp on the those Ghirardelli chocolate. Check out her special Christmas packages too!
