Casilda's Brazo de Mercedes

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

  5. I 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.
