Sweet Christmas celebrations with Red Ribbon’s Holiday Cakes

Christmas is nearly here and with it comes all sorts of happy celebrations. From the office potluck, barkada get-togethers and family gatherings, parties give people the opportunity to come together to catch up and toast to the past year’s happenings.

No celebration will be considered complete without a show-stopping cake that will serve as dessert and the sweet punctuation to the meal.

Fortunately, Red Ribbon has – not one, not two, but three! – Holiday Cakes to mark these special celebrations.

Black Forest

A beautiful confection made with layers of liquor-moistened chocolate sponge cake, sweetened whipped cream and maraschino cherries, topped with chocolate curls and chocolate shavings.

Did you know that the Black Forest Cake was not directly named after the Black Forest mountain range in Southwestern Germany? Instead, the cake’s name was derived from the specialty liquor of that region, known as Schwarzwälder Kirsch(wasser), which is distilled from tart cherries.

White Forest

One of the most welcome piece of news I’ve received lately is that Red Ribbon’s White Forest Cake is now available!

Inspired by the Black Forest Cake, it is made with layers of white chiffon cake, sweetened whipped cream frosting and maraschino cherries, decorated with white chocolate swirls and white chocolate shavings.

It’s a delicately elegant and sweet treat that’s sure to enchant everyone at the table!

Christmas Chocolate Dedication Cake

This is the holiday cake that (quite literally!) sends a message.

This dessert is made with light chocolate chiffon cake filled and covered with rich fudgy chocolate icing, then decorated colorful sugar candy toppings. This cake can also be personalized with a special message.

The Jelly List: Yummy national flavors to stoke your Pinoy Pride via GrabFood

With the Philippine Independence Day just around the corner, it’s definitely time to look back on some of the things that we can be proud of as a nation.

Being a foodie, I consider the sheer wondrous variety and flavor of Filipino cuisine as a definite achievement. Using our local ingredients and culinary traditions from our forbears as well as influences from foreigners and we produced a highly diverse, down-home yet flavorful array of dishes that are close to our hearts and appeal to our tastebuds.

Despite enjoying Filipino food in our hapag-kainan at home, we also go out and dine at Filipino restaurants because we simply can’t get enough of these flavors and we appreciate the unique spins that local chefs apply to our classic dishes.

And with the restrictions on dining out still in effect because of the pandemic, we are lucky that we can still have our Pinoy food cravings satisfied by our suking Filipino restaurants by having our favorite dishes delivered via GrabFood.

Check out latest #JellyList of Filipino dishes that you can enjoy at home:
