A half roll of brazo de mercedes at Casilda's Bakeshop sells for Php 135. The first time I discovered this was when Casilda's was named Bread and Butter Bakeshop (a half roll then cost Php 110). I am glad that when it turned into Casilda's, they retained their brazo de mercedes and made it even more beautiful, and, yes, just as delectable.
The words of Agnes of Despicable Me sum up my view of Casilda's brazo de mercedes: "It's so fluffy, I'm gonna die!"
Casilda's Bakeshop can be found sprinkled around Cebu (I just don't know how many branches exactly). Here are some of the branches that I know of:
– Gorordo Avenue corner Escario St., Kamputhaw, Cebu City– MC Briones Street (highway), Mandaue City
– Colon Street, Cebu City
you can never go wrong with a brazo de mercedes. yum!!! :)

DeleteI am really particular with Brazo de Mercedes as my mother cooks/bakes. I have yet to try this out. Some are just way too fluffy and not much filling. Some filling tastes like flour so yeah you can say that my standards are pretty high. I don't understand the frozen version as well.
ReplyDeleteOooppss! Don't blame me if this doesn't pass your standards. Ihatag lang sa akoa ang sobra, dawaton nako. Thank you :D
Deletecompetensya sa goldilocks and this is probably better! :) try nya ko ani, mu ni across old SSS bldg noh?

DeleteCool! I've always wondered how good their brazo is but I'm not big enough a fan of brazo to try it. :))
