Bakes Homemade Granola and Bread Pudding
ULTIMATE TASTE TEST DISCOVERIES SERIES
This is my personal favorite among all the Ultimate Taste Test desserts. It barely reached the Ultimate Taste Test feature cut-off of 3.3 out of 5.0 (any rating below this will not be featured).
I love the homemade granola with the different textures of fruits, nuts and chocolate chips. Instead of junk food, you can munch on this healthier alternative (you can specify to have the chocolate removed if you like).
The bread pudding seems ordinary but it is made extraordinary by its wicked sauce -- using combinations of liquor, caramel and custard. You have to try it one of these days. I would have expected more people to rave about it but some people thought it was an ordinary dessert that anybody can create at home.
(Aside from the bread pudding of La Cocina de Tita Moning, where is the best bread pudding you have ever tasted in Manila?)
The Story of Bakes Homemade Granola and Bread Pudding
by Annie Lastrilla - Dionisio, Founder of Bakes
My story is still unfolding. I usually always like to say
that I was born with a wooden spoon, in the kitchen. I've been blessed
to be born into a clan that loves cooking and baking. And so from a very
young age, I was already whipping up dishes under the tutelage of my
mother in the heart of the home, the kitchen. From then on, I've
always been improving and developing my craft and my love -- I love food
and making it. I love being in the kitchen; I find solace and sanctuary
in it.
My husband Carlo and I love entertaining at home, and would usually get a lot of excellent raves from both friends and family on whatever comes out of our kitchen. They'd offer to buy or order specific dishes and desserts. Egged on by their constant requests to open shop, we started taking orders for the holidays or whenever, and then eventually decided to make it official. Bakes just made its formal debut this year in the very first Ultimate Taste Test Event with three of our best products -- homemade granola, whiskey bread pudding and chocolate dulce-de-leche bread pudding.
Our products are all homemade, made by just one person -- me! We'd like to stress homemade -- all our food is made in small batches, as opposed to mass-producing, which often results in sacrificing quality and overall outcome of the product. And of course, as all homemade goodies should be, all are made with tender love and conscientious care.
Carlo and I are extremely dedicated to and excited about this new venture, and even more excited about the new palates that will get a taste of what we have to offer.
