Learn MoreTell us about your signature bake and why it's your most popular treat.
I’m well versed in the world of baking and I find it difficult to pick just one signature bake. If I had to choose from my personal archives, it would have to be “Super Brown Butter Chocolate cookies.” It’s my most popular treat because the insane amount of burnt milk solids and dark couverture in the dough. Adding a few grams of milk powder while browning the butter brings more depth of flavor, nutty aroma, and dark golden color. It’s a recipe I know by heart, a cookie baked &never left uneaten
Who is your favorite person to bake for and what do you make most for them?
My favorite person to bake for is my husband, KP Bugtong! Every chance I get to bring home something new that I’ve created at work, I definitely want him to try. Sans Rival Cake has and always will be his favorite . It’s multiple layers of cashew meringue and French buttercream. I’ve made many different variations of this cake: cake bombes, baked Alaska, traditional, and with other nuts. If there’s something I make the most for them it’s this cake
How would you use the $10,000?
I would use the $10,000 to surprise my husband with a trip to somewhere we’ve never been to before. Immerse ourselves in the culture, eat like locals, check out the sights, and spark inspiration for new ideas!
