One Sunday evening my partner called and
sweetly asked me to bring him home even one slice any of Contis cake. I had
decided to buy mini strawberry shortcake for him and mini white velvet chocolate
for my mom. I called Contis BF Parañaque branch and placed order for delivery.
However, I reached cut-off time for delivery by 7 pm and was told that they do
not deliver cakes and was advised to make reservation for pick-up, which I
obliged. The problem visiting take-out counter of Contis is that cake display
never failed to divert my original plans that I ended up buying regular size
chocolate mousse and mini chocolate overload that had cost me 1,063 php.

I was introduced to Contis way back 2007 when
Regular size Mango Bravo was still priced at 670 php. I was on search for best
Maother’s day present when our socialite finance manager at San Miguel Corp.
approached me and suggested Contis cake and Mango Bravo in particular. Reputed
to have a superb taste and money spending extravagant I simply ignored her
suggestion. Reading Sunday newspaper on food and leisure section, I chance upon
review on Contis Cakes and categorized Mango Bravo as one of the best in the Philippines . That
same day I rushed to BF Parañaque and bought my first Mango Bravo from Contis.

From then on Contis had been staple food on
our table and never misses out any occasions. Expect our refrigerator with this
box in yellow and green (red during Christmas) to occupy enormous space, If Purefood’s
fiesta ham labeled as star of noche Buena, Contis cakes is hailed as star of
birthdays in our home.
Door to Temptation |
Contis cakes are priced almost the same as
commercialized cakes. Furthermore, the designs are like work of art – simple
yet exude class with its intricate designs. In terms of flavor, there is
variation and the tastes stands for its claim – chocolates are chocolates,
strawberry is strawberry, peach is peach and you’ll miss sugar with its light
sweet note; size of cakes are of generous in terms of diameter and height
without sacrificing quality. What makes
Contis more special is that you’ll exert effort to buy one – currently, they
only have 6 branches (ATC, Katipunan, Serendra, Greenhills, Trinoma and BF
Parañaque) and during holidays people do line up with number system and runs out
of stock on unfortunate days.

Working in food business for almost 9 years,

value for money. The best part is that it never failed to bring smile on faces
as I bring home Contis Cakes. I share to you my top favorite cakes of Contis:

ReplyDeleteI just want to asked if the mango bravo cake can last for 5 to 6 hrs unrefrigerated? When I got to taste this cake I really want to but for my mom, but unfortunately my mom is in the province. My workmates said that it will easily melt when not refrigerated.
ReplyDeleteHi sorry for the long overdue reply. No it won't last for 5 to 6 hours in room temperature. Last time, I bought Mango Bravo at ATC and had it immediately drove back home to my sister at Cavite within 2 hours it turned foamy (white cream) and partially collapsed.
