“Life is short but sweet for certain,” a sweeter way to say YOLO (You Only Live Once). Life is sweet and there are things that make it sweeter. I’m not talking about those lovey-dovey moments or those sweet nothings said, I’m talking about FOOD! Yeah, you read that part right. I’m talking about Sugar-and-Spice-and-Everything-Nice and those sugary things that may give you cavities. Here is a list of sinful pleasures that can send your senses dreaming:
1. To Die for Doughnuts – be it Krispy Kreme, J.CO or your patronized brand…these are all-time favorites. It started out as a simple pasalubong and it has evolved so many luxurious flavors that it considered almost gourmet. Who knew these childhood favorites would turn into something so extravagant? haven: Krispy Kreme or J.CO.
2. Crazy for Cronuts – a new fad turning into a craze. It may not have reached Angeles yet but it’s creating a storm in Manila. Cronuts are donut-croissant hybrids by a pastry Chef, Chef Dominique Ansel. It was launched last May 10, 2013 and it virally became the most talked about dessert in history. Think of it as croissant dough-shaped round and fried rather than baked. And like a donut, it has the glaze and the toppings. These things sell out fast so better buy one before they’re gone…if you don’t mind the hefty price tag of 80 – 140 pesos apiece, depending on the store. haven: Manila,
3. Marrying Macaroons – not the coconut macaroons of APL.DE.AP but the colorful little meringue sandwiches with luscious cream that are “simply sinful pleasure,” according to Martin Nievera in a food magazine. Sometimes called “Parisian Macaroons”, these are like the luxurious version of the native merengue and coconut macaroons we all know. In terms of texture, it has a smooth crisp shell and a moist chewy interior. These little delights may be costly but they pack a heavenly taste in each bite. Not bad for egg whites and sugar. haven: French Baker
4. Coveting Cupcakes – all the rage with sweet
