You'll surely find yourself lost in gastronomic translation as this new corner at Dulgies Cafe is a very welcoming sight. In one spot of this sweet shop that started the dessert craze in Iloilo City a few years ago is one solely devoted to the (latest) yummy creations of Ms Mae Borro-Pido - indulgent cupcakes. Around 10 cupcakes were on display when I went there and I had the chance to have tasted every single one of them - now that's indulgent, so Dulgies!
I love Dulgies nutty carrot cake and was glad (almost) the same recipe made it to this Carrot Chocolate Cupcake. It had no nuts if my taste memories serve me right so that makes it "almost" nonetheless despite the weird combination, it was one good bite, make that bites!
More indulgent were the Cappucino Caramel Cupcakes. A rich cappucino frotsing smothered with caramel on a densed yet moist and rich chocolate based cake, what more can i ask for? Maybe another bite? Make tghat another cupcake.
Another chocolate cake based cupcake is the Choc-Nut bar Cupcake. Fans of this local candy bar - choc nut will surely adore not only the peanut-choco toppings but the forsting and the rich cake as well.
The Double Chocolate Cupcakes literally doubled the rich goodness of chocolate and to make it really double I think I finished two of these cupcakes ... just kidding.
But my ultimate favorite among the chocolate cake based cupcakes are the familiar Cookies and Cream Cupcakes. Aside from the already delicious chocolate cake base it had these very delectable frosting that sums all the flavour of this rich cupcake variety. It really had the cookies and cream flair and the oroe cookie on top perfectly finishes this great tasting cupcake
From one favorite to another, I'm sure many will agree that the Dulce Leche Cupcake ranks among the top variants of Mae's cupcakes. A simple cake base and frosting but the dulce de leche filling and garnish makes the ultimate difference. It is among, if not the, bestseller/s in the cupcake collection of Dulgies
Care for some Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcake? The classic American sandwich filling combination makes its way to the cupcake collection and it really makes one good cupcake flavour indeed.
Another popular cake makes its way into the cupcake collection. Yes, its the classic Red Velvet cake miniaturized into a cupcake. So expect a rich cream cheese frosting and all the goodness of the real cake!
Another cream cheese in the works and you'll get the classic Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcake. need i say more? For a dessert shop that makes one of my favorite cheesecakes in Iloilo, the cupcakes follow suit.
Did I miss on a cupcake? Hope not but if ever, Dulgies is just waiting for us, not only with these delicious cupcakes but for almost all our dessert needs. C'mon let's indulge ...
