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.

I love all things that are chocolate and minty. After Eights, mint chocolate chip ice cream, Goya Dark Mints, Lindt – I’ve probably tried and loved them all. It occurred to me just recently that I’ve never had a mint chocolate chip cookie; that is, until yesterday.
While I was walking around the Podium with my mom, I noticed a small bake sale going on at the third level. Though we weren’t looking for anything in particular we decided to check out the booths anyway, and at Cosmo Bread I found something I have never seen before – white house peppermint cookies. They’re dark chocolate cookies with white chocolate and tangy mint chips. The moment I tried a tiny sample of the cookies, I was sold. I grabbed a dozen for Php 180 and skipped off home.
For breakfast today, I had the peppermint cookies with my coffee and it was absolutely delicious. I love how the mint lingers on my tongue and makes my mouth feel tingly when I take a sip of my hot coffee.
Other gourmet cookies by Cosmo Bread are pretty unusual – Peanut Butter & Chips, Ginger Chip Biscotti, and Unconditional Cookie. Besides cookies, Cosmo bread also sells classic favorites like food for the gods, devil’s food cake, and originals like Pandan sans rival, frozen oreo mousse, and chocolate toffee chip. For orders and more information, call them at (632) 336-4725 (allow 2-3 days lead time) or visit the Cosmo Bread website.
