Hello dear Hivers! 💖 Wishing you all well and good health 🙏
Filipino birthdays would definitely be incomplete without cake, most especially from a classic bakeshop. Recently, we had a special reason to celebrate: my cousin’s 28th birthday. She’s been working extra hard helping us out at our sari-sari store, so this celebration felt extra meaningful.
As usual, my sister, the regular cake sponsor when there happens to be a celebrant among our family, sponsored a cake from a brand that’s close to our hearts: Goldilocks.
Goldilocks has been part of almost every Filipino celebration for a long time. When I was young, I remember their cakes were huge, and the prices were less than 500 PHP (around 8.8 USD). Well, because the prices of ingredients increase through time, I totally understand why they raised prices or make their cakes smaller than before. The choices were minimal back then: chocolate, mocha, or vanilla.
Fast forward to now, and Goldilocks has leveled up big time. With so many new bakeries popping up, they expanded their products to keep up. These days, you’ll find all sorts of flavors like caramel, ube, black forest, etc.
They even offer custom cakes, bread, pies, and Filipino treats like polvoron. There even exist their branches that have restaurants serving Filipino classic dishes.
What I also love is how they’ve kept up with the times. They've embraced the modern trend by revamping their interiors into beautiful, minimalist, and aesthetic spaces. It’s nice to see them grow while staying true to their roots.
With so many new choices, we decided to try something different this time: the Chocolate Cherry Torte, which is their new flavor. We also knew that this was the cake our cousin really wanted when she saw it one time from our neighbor. It was the last one on display, so it felt like a lucky find. I was so focused on getting it to even snap a picture before grabbing it from the display, but honestly, I don’t regret it.
The cake did not disappoint. The design was beautiful, and I was impressed with the lettering, which seemed flawless. As someone who knows how tough it is to pipe icing with shaky hands, I could tell it took real skill. It takes a steady hand and lots of experience, and they got it just right.
The cake had a generous amount of chocolate ganache on top, with plenty of cherries and chocolate flakes evenly arranged. There were even chocolate chips around the sides. It had three layers of chocolate sponge cake filled with strawberry whipped cream in between, making every bite rich, sweet, and just perfect.
My cousin really loved it, and seeing her so happy made the whole celebration even more special. It was a wonderful way to celebrate her birthday and show our appreciation. Trends may change, new brands may come and go, but the tradition of sharing a Goldilocks cake with a special family moment will always bring a sweet feeling of home and joy.
