Holiday Gift Ideas- Homemade Baked Goods

Monday Nov 24, 2008


I have a soft spot for small businesses that offer homebaked goodies. My childhood years was spent helping out my mom at our Sally’s Home Bake Shop. The Christmas season was also the busiest and most profitable month for us. Seriously, we could not even sit down in our living room and instead of partying, I was busy wrapping cakes and making pretty bows. So much cakes around us. As I strolled along Powerplant Mall’s Baker’s Dozen at the Concourse level , I felt like I was transported back to my childhood days.

If you haven’t been there, the Bakers’ Dozen is an avenue of mouthwatering home-baked desserts and pastries, open weekends till December.

I think the bakers’ fair is a good venue to buy homemade goodies for friends or relatives or even for your noche buena or holiday dinners. Here are a few that I visited and sampled.

1. Bohemia Cakes and Pastries- Chocolate Lava Cake or Biscotti


That cake would cost around 10,000 pesos but it depends on the customer’s choice


Biscotti- a mix of white Chocolate Almond and Chocolate Walnut Biscotti – large box is 550 pesos for 40 pieces while medium box is 300pesos for 20 piecies

They have more baked goodies like the Chocolate Lava Cake, Fudgey Walnut Brownies, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Cinnamon Sugar Cookies, Double Chocolate Chip Cupcakes, Spinach Artichoke dip.
