Cab Cafe -- unique cake designs, light taste

Having no time to bake for my big sis' birthday, we went to Cab cafe (beside Charlie' Grind and Grill). The display area showcased a line of specialty cakes and some pastries. we opted to buy the small pavlova with sliced almonds for my sis. Caught my attention was the rustic style of cake decorating for the Strawberry shortcake. No clean line... just natural-looking :) Strawberry shortcake  We bought a brownie and mamon (chiffon cake) for my granny. I loved the way they baked the chiffon batter over a pandan leaf to prevent it from sticking on the pan. It is such a creative way to present a pastries and shall i say... a very PINOY way! :) The brownie was OK. It lacks the gooey-ness, its more of like crumbly. Next time, we'll try the Strawberry shortcake with a cup of coffee. :) Ciao! xoxo
