AJ’s Birthday Cake yesterday was from Purple Oven, no less!
Purple Oven’s bakeshop at San Antonio, Makati is near our place so you could say that this is our immediate “go-to” place when it comes to birthday cakes and other celebration cakes.
I had Purple Oven’s Apple Pie for my birthday and for AJ’s, we had their New York Cheesecake. Ms. Val of Purple Oven said that it was a very good choice, and indeed it was!
If you love Chicago Cheesecake from Coffee Bean & Co., then this one isn’t going to break your heart. In fact, I find this one richer in flavor compared to the Chicago Cheesecake from Coffee Bean.
This isn’t the most flattering picture I took of the cheesecake because it was taken during night time already, before our Japanese dinner with France, Vince and the cutie Sales boys, but I bet you a free slice you will LOVE it.
Here’s a more natural shot of the cheesecake in daylight:
The New York Cheesecake may look so plain in the picture but in truth, it’s packed with the best-quality cream cheese and freshest eggs, milk and butter. The cookie crust may not be as thick as I thought it would be (because outside it looked half as thick as the cheesecake) but I got no complaints on that, absolutely. In fact, for this one, I am more than willing to trade the cookie crust in exchange for more of the smooth and creamy cheesecake mixture. It’s sinful alright but each bite is worth indulging in.
Purple Oven is located across the National Shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at San Antonio Village, Makati City. To order, you may also contact them at these numbers: 631-4221, 910-1363 and 910-1364.
