Calea Cakes are The Bomb

I have read some things about Bacolod before I left the city. I was not sure if there was something tourist-y to do in Bacolod because I thought it was all going to be grass, mountains and sea (I was wrong). While in the process of doing research, the word CALEA would always come out and it was always given very favourable comments. 

 
 

I visited the branch in Robinson’s Bacolod. It was after lunch and we were craving for some dessert. When I entered Calea, tons of choices sprung upon us and I had to sit down for a moment because I was overwhelmed by the choices. Aside from the different kinds of cakes, they also have cookies and other pastries to offer. I, being the first timer, had to try the best seller of the house. Truth be told, no cake shop in the metro can beat the quality of the cakes in Calea.

Imported Moist Chocolate Cake – for starters, I was a bit shocked by how thick the chocolate on top of the cake was. But true to its name, this was the best moist cake there is. The cake was not sugar sweet which is always a good thing. The bitter sweet chocolate on top complements perfectly the texture and the taste of the cake. It was as if having a little piece of heaven for every bite. 

White Mocha Cheesecake – I’m now sure how a cheesecake’s consistency should be but I loved this one. It was not sweet, it did not have a crust (graham stuff, I’m guessing), and even if I love cheese, I sometimes get enough of eating less than a slice. But this one was pure heaven. Its smooth consistency plus the right amount of sweetness blended well with the berries it was served with. I did not get where the white mocha was but I’m not complaining. 

Ice Cream Marble Cake – you have to get your hands on this right away because it is sure to melt. It was creamy and sweet, but then again, just about the right amount of sweetness. I’m just not quite fond of marshmallows so I did not eat much. 

Coffee is best partnered with these food. I had mine with just cream, no sugar. I loved it. I love the fact that their default sugar is themascovado kind which is said to be healthy and organic. Might I add? Flavourful too. But because of all the sweets that we had consumed, it was better to balance it with a good cup of coffee. 

Nothing was over Php 70 for as slice of cake and the cappuccino I ordered was only Php 75. Just in case you care to bring a whole cake (or two, like I did) back to Manila (Php 650 – Php 800, if I’m not mistaken), Calea can package it in a hard carton at Php 30 and your cake will be ready to go!
