Cupcakes to Try and/or Love (Cupcakes by Sonja)

Cupcakes by Sonja
...it's a different take from the usual mini-cakes: smaller than usual, sweeter than usual, and ofcourse  more expensive than usual (most probably due to its 'pioneer' advantage in Manila --- though there are some who would refute this)...

If you're more on the sweet once-in-a-while-sinful-treat-side, try these out.
(Cupcakes by Sonja is located at 1st Level Serendra Retail Area in The Fort)


With all the hype (you know us Filipinos -- with that "I want to be in" mentality --- I advise the curious ones to level your expectations. There may be some form of "brand" factor contributing to all this hype which may not necessarily translate to "amazing" quality or your "bowled-over"version of perfection...Also, consider that since the bakeshop is starting up and batches are baked from scratch, cupcakes may not taste the same every time; in short, you could be unlucky trying it out in a 'bad cupcake day'...


So just chill and enjoy the mini-cake as it is. If you can, try to be oblivious to what you've heard and read about it. Then probably, you can appreciate it more. Even probably say, 'it's worth every penny'. (But don't push it alright? Just enjoy...)

“A Classic and Fluffy Yellow Cake topped with Blue Buttercream icing.” 
...my favorite of the four I've tried so far simple because it's blue!
