Not Your Usual Weekend Bonding - With the White Forest Cake

It was just like any other weekend. Woke up a bit late, read the bible and turned my laptop on. After, I went down to eat my usual breakfast -- eggs, oatmeal and a slice of sweetness.

The only thing very unusual that day was the non-stop rain. Same with any other rainy days, I loved it. I didn't think that it was the last time I'd love that kind of heavy rain.

Lunch came and our activities were still flowing normally. No one would expect that, that same weekend, it would change the lives of a lot of Filipinos. Afternoon came and the effects were getting worst. Suddenly, our electricity went out in the afternoon. Stuck at home, without electricity and without anything to do, we did what most people do when there is no electricity -- talk.

This is what you get for living an optimistic life. Even though everything is so negative, you still find ways to make it positive. And to take our family bonding level up one notch, mom offered us all a slice of White Forest cake from Red Ribbon. We don't want to put that cake to waste, don't we?

One soft, rich and creamy spoon after another, what was supposedly a short bonding talk became a long and unexpected fun bonding time even though when everything seemed to go wrong. Amazing!

Too bad, the cake didn't last till our dinner. But, with the help of that cake, it made every single second of our lives sweet and memorable that day -- Bonding time was lengthened because of one cake.

It's a cake we will surely remember for the rest of our lives.

White Forest Cake from Red Ribbon

As early as September 1, I already heard Christmas songs playing in malls and restaurants. Today, I was lucky enough to get first dibs on this not-yet-released cake from Red Ribbon.

Who hasn't heard or eaten the already famous Black Forest Cake? Over the years, the Black Forest has found a place in the hearts of many and knowing Red Ribbon as the leader and innovator in cakes, they made the White Forest cake -- first ever White Forest Cake.

Red Ribbon Cookies and Cream with Oreo cake

Want to brighten up your day?

After being addicted to several Red Ribbon cakes over the years, I must say that this cake will make waves!

With all the problems in the world, this is the new cake that will brighten up every person's day! It's the Red Ribbon Cookies and Cream with Oreo cake!

cookies and cream with oreo
I will give you three very good and valid reasons why you should try this cake:
1. The sweetness level is just the right amount -- good for those who can't handle too much sweets!
2. It's so soft and yet, not hollow.
3. Just imagine - layers of vanilla and chocolate chiffon, chocolate cookies, and creamy cookies-and-cream filling!

Just thinking about the Red Ribbon Cookies and Cream with Oreo makes my mouth water! If I were you, I would not think twice -- go to the nearest Red Ribbon bakeshop now. as in NOW! See how that cake will brighten up your day?

I don't need to do that because as I am typing this, I am enjoying my second slice. :)

I often end my meals with something sweet. But for this Red Ribbon Cookies and Cream with Oreo cake, I can eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Members of my family can testify to this. With or without special events, the Red Ribbon cake I give them brightens up their day! Much more, every special event, I give them cakes. This is the reason why this new Red Ribbon cake would be a great treat to them and as always, this will brighten up their day!

Have you eaten a salisbury steak and carbonara this good?

If you think you've tasted them all, then, I will tell you right now that you haven't yet tasted this one!

Carbonara and Salisbury steak can be just the "Carbonara" and "Salisbury Steak" you've known and tasted over and over in different restaurants. But mind you.. this fastfood is changing the food you thought you knew before.

Red Ribbon recently introduced an addition to their menu.

The 100% all-beef salisbury steak and the more delectable creamy carbonara!
http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/6294/redribbonbakeshop01b.jpg
When I first saw the steak, I was thinking like how the rest of us would think. The salisbury steak is just a salisbury steak until you get to taste it and savour it!!! Believe me, you wouldn't miss their salisbury steak for the world. It's actually a must eat like their famous palabok!!!
http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/9730/redribbonbakeshop03.jpg
...and if my tongue could get starstrucked? It actually would after I've tasted their "made more delectable" creamy carbonara!

I can say that I know my food because I am a semi-food blogger and we eat out a lot. I could get tons of people to attest to that!

Before they introduced those, I have always ordered their Palabok regular meal with drinks and a slice of cake whenever I grab my quick lunch or hold my meetings in one of their many Red Ribbon branches. The palabok is still my favorite and I guess my personal favorite would have a competitor now and what better way to finish a meal than to have a slice of cookies and cream with oreo? One word -- Perfect!

Why not try their new 100% all-beef salisbury steak and creamy carbonara now to comprehend what I am saying firsthand?
