Ann's Home of Cakes and Pastries: Choco Caramel Fudge Cake, and more

As promised, visited Ann's Home of Cakes and Pastries again, this time, my sister visited for cakes! (For pastries blog, click here.)

Here's her pasalubong for us:

From left: chocolate caramel fudge cake, red velvet cake and carrot cake

CARROT CAKE

This is one of their well-known cakes. When it's asked where to find the most delicious carrot cake in Batangas, one would point Ann's. 

The walnuts did a wonderful job.

Most of the carrot cakes I tried were too dry and plain, but this one has the right amount of moist (the white creamy top and center filling was perfect), and the walnuts made it interesting. It's truly one of the best carrot cakes I've tasted.

RED VELVET CAKE

I'm not really a fan or red velvets - I just don't get the flavor. Still I tried Ann's version, and I must say I like this better than what I've tried before (a more expensive one in Katipunan).

As always, the nuts (in this case, almonds slivers) are a great touch. As said, though not a fan of the flavor, that didn't stop me from eating it. It's not nakakaumay (I don't know the English term. Help, anyone?) unlike other red velvets that I tried, may it be a cupcake or cake, so I must say it's a must-try for all red velvet lovers. :)

PRICE: PHP 58 per slice.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL FUDGE CAKE

This is their best tasting cake for me. It was addicting, not too sweet but oh-so-chocolaty, and the moist is perfect! 

The caramel part complemented the chocolate well.

We were so in love with this that my sister bought a whole cake a week after. This I recommend to everyone. I would even recommend Starbucks to let them distribute this over their chocolate cakes so that I can have cheaper cakes there, if only I have the power.

PRICE: PHP 58 per slice.

Over all, I can say that they have the best tasting and cheapest cakes, ever. I hope they could penetrate the Manila market soon. 

Please, Batanguenos, try one of their cakes. Highly recommended. :)

Ann's Home of Cakes and Pastries

My brother Sam loves pastries (he loved Dulcissima Bakeshop’s cream puffs). So after his badminton lesson at Batangas Badminton and Fitness Gym Center, I brought him to Ann’s Home of Cakes and Pastries, the nearest pastries shop there. 

The shop’s located at P. Canlapan St., Batangas City. Balagtas jeep passes this street.

Pastries galore!

It was our first visit and we hoped that there would be cream puffs there too. 

Alas, we found none, so be bought blueberry cheesecake for us to share and butterscotch squares for pasalubong.

blueberry cheesecake for 88 pesos 

butterscotch squares for 38 pesos

We weren't disappointed though. :D

Sam loved the cheesecake, especially the cheese part. He suggested that we should buy again tomorrow. I also liked it, especially because the cheese is way thicker than the cake part, which can sometimes be too sweet for me. The only flaw of this sweet thing is that it should always be kept refrigerated or it would melt; the shop does not have dining facilities. It would be best if the shop offers disposable spoon for the cake to be eaten right after it was bought.

My nephew Reygiel, on the other hand, loved the butterscotch squares. 

He didn’t let go of them, not until he finished them all up. Fortunately I got one after he made me open the container LOL. What I like about this butterscotch is it’s not too oily nor too sweet (hindi nakakaumay).

All things considered, we loved their pastries! Can’t wait to try their round cakes, oatmeal cookies and revel bars. We’ll definitely be back tomorrow. :)
What should we buy for our next visit? Tell us in the comments section below. :D
