New cake from an old classic
If your taste for cake runs toward the sweet and light, you might want to try the latest treat from Red Ribbon. It is not only sweet and light, it’s also great to look at. The caramel icing that outlines the cake’s elegant silhouette gives it a light and dainty vibe. On top of the cake are elegant drops of icing that give it an airy cloud-like look, with caramel syrup on the center. The cake also looks just as elegant when sliced — you can see the soft chiffon layers inside and the enticing cream-colored icing in between. Prices start at P479 for the junior size and P669 for the regular size.
