Pastry Princess at the Greenhills Town Center

Sugar and spice

After our filling dinner at Sumo Sam, Paul and I decided to walk around the Greenhills Town Center to check the other establishments out. As we reached the back portion where Ha Yuan, a kebab place and an Asian mart are located, we also found Pastry Princess. I couldn't help but enter this cozy looking cafe that has a pretty baby pink interior.

Oh how I drooled as I look at the glass case filled with all sorts of yummy looking cupcakes! Suddenly, I wanted to have a cupcake for dessert! (Who said I was full from our Sumo Sam dinner? Not quite!)

The store is small but with free WiFi, this makes a great place to work or to hang out while enjoying a cupcake or two! In fact, we saw a mother-son tandem enjoying their chosen cupcakes that evening. The son was happily playing while the mom was busy with her laptop. They also serve coffee, tea and some fruit juices too!

Check out the pink poster on the wall. 
Definitely my life mantra!

Well, I couldn't stop at choosing just one cupcake so I decided to get a dozen to share with my family and in laws too! I love how the staff of Pastry Princess willingly split my cupcakes equally into the two boxes.

My top choice was the Red Velvet Cupcake (Php. 60) that reminds me of that delicious slice of Red Velvet Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. Believe me, after that night, I've turned into a Red Velvet fan since then.  I enjoyed the moist red chocolate cupcake topped with cream cheese frosting. Sadly, I can't take too much frosting but the cupcake itself was yummeeeh.

I also got the Cookie Dough (Php. 60), Nutella (Php. 70), Salted Caramel (Php. 50), Peanut Butter Delight (Php. 60) and a special flavor called Chocnut.

Upon arriving at my in law's house, I happily brought the box up to my niece J who excitedly opened the box and like a lightning bolt her fingers zoomed into the sweet cupcake frostings so fast. She licked her fingers and exclaimed "mmm yummy!" The Pastry Princess surely won little J's heart. She wanted more but not wanting to overload her with sugar at such a late hour at night, we had to put the box away and told her to wait for the next day.

I had more cupcakes the next day and was surprised how it continues to stay moist even without re-heating. We got to try the Peanut Butter cupcake which reminds me of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup! I prefer the Red Velvet though as this was one a tad too sweet for my taste.

I'm so happy to have found a good cupcake place so close to home. I am definitely going back for another piece of cupcake to go with my cup of Mocha Latte.

Pastry Princess is located at the Greenhills Town Center, 2 Granada Street, Quezon City. Call them at 399-4986.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
