The Classic Confections in Greenbelt 5, Makati

Classic Confections of Greenbelt 5 in Makati

After slightly getting disappointed in Burger Bar, we decided to have our desserts elsewhere. Taking the suggestion of my sister, we ended up in Classic Confections where we had cakes, tea and coffee.

In this blog post, I'm taking a new approach, where I reduce the words and put in more photos. Let me know what you prefer more.

A little closer: Cakes and Goodies

The Cakes

As mentioned, you will find the cakes interesting because you will see or taste something different. The selection is somewhat limited, but this may be a good thing because you know that they are specializing.

In addition, the flavor of the cakes is distinct and potent; hence, sharing is definitely encouraged. This means that a few spoonful will do the trick. In fact, anything beyond it may diminish your enjoyment. Order and share up! 

Cheesecake Obsession (Individual) at P245

The Cheesecake Obsession was awesome, but the taste was something you'll get used to immediately. The texture and flavor are something you'll find in the usual cheesecakes, but what makes it different is the variation in taste brought by the cylindrical chocolate pieces on top.

Double Chocolate Mousse (Individual) at P195

The Double Chocolate Mousse was two of my brothers' favorite. The moist and soft cake, wrapped in a delightful semi-sweet chocolate, made it highly memorable, not to mention the fantastic combination of taste as the mousse blends in. It was quite an experience!

Nono's Chocolate Oblivion (Individual) at P225

Nono's Choco Oblivion tasted very special but may be a little sweeter than what it should be. On the other hand, the texture was notable because of the variation caused by the crunchy and sugary coating - and actually this is what makes it really sweet. On the contrary, if you have a prominent sweet tooth, you won't mind it, and in fact, you'll love it!

Iced Mocha at P135

As for the drink, I didn't enjoy it much because I'm not into coffees, but what can I note this Iced Mocha is the distinct coffee and cocoa taste infused together. There was little to no hint of sweetness (depending on your sensitivity to it) which balances the sweetness of the cakes.

Cafe Americano at P85

This what something my dad had. I wasn't able to try it out (because again, I am not fond of coffees), but I'm just sharing this photo to you, so you'll have an idea.

Comment on the Prices

I find the prices somewhat extravagant (for the cakes); however, when we speak of value for money, I'll tell you it's absolutely worth it. Considering the taste and experience, the prices would entirely be worth the extra pennies you'll provide.

Note about the Service Charge
I was somehow surprised when I discovered that there was a service charge because all they need to do is slice the cake, put it on the plate and serve it up. However, I didn't mind it until the time we went out.

The service charge should have made the crew appreciative that we dined there because they'll get a portion of it. Sadly, it was disappointing that they forgot to say "thank you". This is just a short yet effective way of expressing gratitude, yet they failed to make it.

Anyway, this wraps up my blog post about this intriguing Classic Confections. Try it out as it redefines what cakes should be. Don't forget to comment and share this post with your friends!
