Ube Cheese Pandesal. If you haven’t heard of it yet, well, last year, Kimmy Bakes Bakeshop in Silang, Cavite, Philippines brought together ube (purple yam) and cheese as filling for good ol’ pandesal. Now they’re known as the home of the Original Ube Cheese Pandesal. Prior to the quarantine, I …

Another baking experiment was definitely in order. 🙂 Presenting my version of Goldilocks’ Black Forest Cake! This one …
