The rebel cake

I have sweet tooth, well just for pastries especially cakes.

Now that my cholesterol level is almost close to normal, I am giving myself a green light to splurge on the sinful foods that I have deprived myself of for months.

Last Sunday, an officemate has talked me into buying her chocolate dome cake which was a bit pricey. Fooled by the look of the cake and taking the seller's word for it, I caved in. I was really frustrated when I have tasted it. It could pass for a cake baked in a cheap bakery in my neighborhood the only difference is its price could buy rubbish cake that could feed two families. The taste was really awful. I texted my chum and told her about it and she agreed. She was able to take a bite of that annoying cake.

When I bumped into the seller, she asked me how was it, well I just smiled. I cannot lie. I would only say the food is good when it is good. And when I say it is good, I could proudly say that it is good.

I even wonder why people say the food is good when they are not. Ah, poor taste I guess? Or they have not tasted the good version of the food that they consider "good".

So when a friend of mine approached me to sell this rebel cake, I had second thoughts. Should I cave in again? 

Well I can't resist the look (for the love of me, again!) so I got a box.

I have not tasted it yet but I jokingly told my friend that if it did not taste good I'll  strangle her. hahaha

UPDATE: the rebel cake is good. Not divine, but good!

Caramel Macchiato

Mitch and I took a raincheck on the surfing spree today.
I received a text from Joie that there are no waves in Zambales so they will be heading to La Union which is about 5 hours drive from Manila.
I know that Mitch was so excited about it and I was really apologetic because I'm not willing to travel that far. I might as well go straight to Baguio which I miss very much. 'Glad that Mitch is not mad. I told her that we shall be hitting the waves in Zambales soonish!
We just decided to have a coffee at Starbucks Gateway since Anna's ride to home was just around the area.
I ordered my all time fave, hot Caramel Macchiato. Since, Mitch let me use her gift certificate, I just added P25.00 for the tall one. So I decided to get us some sweet treat which is the Chocolate cake (Geez, i forgot to get the complete name!). The cake was divine! It's not too sweet yet it's delicious.
