The most Christmas-y desserts you can have on your Noche Buena table
Now that you’re done adorning your home with holiday décor, it’s time to prepare to get all merry for Noche Buena.
You’re probably thinking of ube halaya, leche flan, and crema de fruta to cap off your holiday dinner, but we’re here to remind you that there are unique options that can spread festive cheer on the dining table. We’re talking about striking desserts that will easily catch your guests’ eye. If the ones below won’t scream Christmas to you, we don’t know what will.
We mentioned head-turning delights, so let’s start with The Pink Butter’s Christmas tree cake—a 6” by 6” treat available in dark chocolate, vanilla, mocha, and funfetti flavors. Each one is priced at P2,000, but you can get all three for only P4,800. Last day of pick-up is on Dec. 23.
We can’t enjoy snow in the Philippines, but there’s just something about snow globes that brings us delight. If you agree, Baked by Trimy’s 6” offering (P1,599) would be the perfect addition to your Noche Buena table. While it comes in regular flavors like dark chocolate, strawberries and cream, vanilla, citrus vanilla, and caramel, we suggest getting its special holiday flavors instead: raspberry and white chocolate as well as Lotus Biscoff.
How cute is this upside-down Santa treat? This chocolate piñata (P1,800) by Little Miss OC will absolutely make your guests smile. Inside it is a wonderland of irresistible sweets like Nerds, Twix, Kinder, Tootsie Roll, Skittles, and so much more.
Vanilla Café knows a thing or two about spectacular cakes and the Yuletide season is no exception. Its newest cake, wonderfully designed with Christmas trees and wreaths, is yet another proof of its brilliance.
If your family is into cream puffs, Mae Cakes could be your best bet. Priced at P185/P550/P800, each delight is perked up with sparkles, icing, and gift designs in red and yellow. This offering, which you can enjoy in chocolate, strawberry, and assorted flavors, is available for pick-up on Dec. 13-24 and Dec. 27-30.
Got little ones at home? You can count on Bad Café for a fun bonding activity with the kids. For only P700, you can get creative and design your own gingerbread house on your Christmas table. Each set comes with cookies, buttercream icing in different colors, and candies that all make for a cheerful edible creation.
