Red Ribbon’s New Mango-Choco Marjolaine Cake: A unique and delectable twist on a classic French dessert

Cakes have been a timeless dessert, serving as a sweet and indulgent treat to celebrate life’s special moments. From birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, to any other milestone, cakes symbolize happiness, love, and joy, adding an extra layer of excitement to any occasion. The most popular reason why cakes are always welcome is that they can be customized to suit any taste or preference, making them a unique and special addition to any celebration. They also serve as a centerpiece that sparks joy and excitement among guests, especially children, who eagerly wait for the moment they get to take a slice.

Every Occasion Calls for Cake

Cakes are not only delicious but also an essential element that creates memorable moments. They serve as a perfect focal point for photo opportunities, capturing those special memories that last a lifetime. With a range of flavors to choose from, ranging from the classic chocolate to fruity flavors like strawberry and mango, there is a cake for everyone. Cakes can also be decorated with personalized messages or intricate designs, making them unique and special to the occasion.

And some cakes can be adapted with a twist on ingredients or presentation, making them a totally new and exciting experience altogether. Such is the case for Red Ribbon’s New Choco-Mango Marjolaine Cake.

The Marjolaine, a Classic French Dessert

The Marjolaine is a classic French dessert made up of layers of nutty meringue and buttercream. The dessert is named after Marie-Josephine, daughter of French diplomat Pauline Borghese, a prominent figure in the French court during the 19th century. The dessert is said to have been created in her honor by the famous French chef, Fernand Point.

Traditionally, the Marjolaine is made by layering sheets of meringue with a filling made of buttercream flavored with ground nuts, such as almonds, hazelnuts, or pistachios. Over time, the Marjolaine has evolved to include variations such as chocolate or fruit-flavored fillings.

Red Ribbon’s New Mango-Choco Marjolaine Cake

Red Ribbon recently launched its New Mango-Choco Marjolaine Cake, a modern twist on the classic French dessert. It combines the richness of chocolate with the tropical sweetness of mango, providing a unique and delectable experience. The cake is made up of layers of crunchy-chewy wafer layers, refreshingly sweet mangoes, and rich chocolate filling, together with praline cream, which adds a nutty and creamy element to the dessert. The roasted cashew nuts provide the perfect finish to the cake, bringing a satisfying crunch and nuttiness to the sweetness. Really, Red Ribbon’s New Mango-Choco Marjolaine Cake is a heavenly delight that is perfect for any occasion and a must-try for all cake lovers!

Make it a part of your special occasions

So go ahead and bring it to your celebrations – whether as your contribution to the office potluck, a birthday cake for someone’s special day, or to mark special milestones such as anniversaries, graduations or promotions.

Every occasion becomes extra special with this new sweet creation from Red Ribbon.

Celebrating different kinds of love with Red Ribbon’s limited-edition Valentine Black Forest Cake

Oh, yes, we’re right smack in the midst of the Month of Love. Can’t you just feel the all that love in the air?

The impending arrival of Valentine’s Day has got me in a more reflective mood. Lately, I’ve begun to realize that I have been blessed with different kinds of love that made my life all the richer.

And this year, I’m celebrating these varied expressions of the ultimate emotion with an exceptional confection from Red Ribbon Bakeshop: its limited-edition Valentine Black Forest Cake!

This lovely dessert creation makes a much-awaited comeback just in time for Valentine’s Day. And I must say: it surely is well-suited to the holiday!

It is made with moist liquor-moistened chocolate fudge cake layered with rich creamy icing in an occasion-appropriate heart-shaped design, topped with decadent chocolate shavings and cream cheese icing rosettes, then decorated with luscious Maraschino cherries.

I agree that it is truly a confection made with love in mind, and which calls to mind the different kinds of love that enhance and enrich my life.

Philia, the love of friends

Being an introvert, I acknowledge that my circle of friends is made up by a very few and select set of individuals. With all the intrigues and misunderstandings that I seem to attract in school and in my workplaces (I swear I’m not a drama queen), it’s a wonder that I’m able to make and keep close relationships with people who I consider my tribe. Needless to say, I’m always grateful for their gift of friendship.

Storge, the love of parents for children

Motherhood has been and continues to be one of the most defining roles that I play. I never would have thought that I would be able to love not just one, but two (!) individuals who I helped bring into the world. A poet once said that “Your children are not your children. They are sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself.” While I try to balance my role in their lives as both parent and co-traveler in their life’s journey, I’m grateful for the love and joy they bring to my existence.

Eros, the passionate love

No doubt Hubby will find this section of my post dedicated to him extremely cheesy but, to him I can say “tough luck!” After all, he did vow to accept me “for better or worse,” hehe! After more than twenty years together, our relationship continues to grow and evolve, and I’m thankful that we find things to discover about each other.

Agape, the love of mankind

This kind of love may be the most difficult of all. After all, it is kind of love that requires so much understanding and forgiveness that often goes unrequited. For me, it is the kind of love that allows me to go through life sans the bitterness from past hurts and offenses. It is also the kind of love that when given by others, allows me to redeem myself and learn from mistakes.

Who would have thought that Valentine’s Day celebrations would bring about such profound thoughts, eh?

Well, thanks to Red Ribbon’s Valentine Black Forest Cake, I have something sweet and delicious to commemorate this occasion in honor of all the loves in my life.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your loved ones, foodies! Be sure to spread the sweetness with this sweet confection from Red Ribbon Bakeshop!

It’s available only from February 13-15, so it’s best to order now via the Red Ribbon app, the Red Ribbon delivery website, Red Ribbon on Facebook Messenger, or by calling the #87777 hotline. You may also place your order via GrabFood or FoodPanda.

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.

Ensaimada Gift Box

Aside from specialty cakes, wow your party guests with varied flavors of that classic Pinoy pastry: the ensaymada.

This merienda favorite goes well with the post-meal coffee or hot chocolate that everyone would enjoy to unwind after the frenetic party activities.

With a Red Red Ribbon’s Ensaimada Gift Box at your holiday spread, your guests can enjoy three variants of this pillowy and buttery treat: Cheesy, Ube and Choco Caramel!

Red Ribbon Bakeshop Holiday Cakes and pastries are a must for any holiday gathering.

Order now via the Red Ribbon app, the Red Ribbon delivery website, Red Ribbon on Facebook Messenger, or by calling the #87777 hotline. You may also place your order via GrabFood or FoodPanda.

#SweetDelight: Red Ribbon’s Caramel Crunch Cake is back!

One of my most treasured early foodie memories is discovering Red Ribbon’s Caramel Crunch Cake.

During my summer break from grade school, my mom and I dropped by a Red Ribbon branch along Shaw Boulevard where beautifully crafted cakes were on display.

I remember us taking home this exquisite confection which was a far cry from the usual cakes we bought for family celebrations.

It is quite a visual wonder: a round cake made of layers of delicate chiffon, cream and caramel jelly, topped with cubes of honeycomb crunch. Each bite leads to a complex explosion of creamy, crunchy, and caramel-y delight in my mouth.

So that’s my first encounter with Red Ribbon’s Caramel Crunch Cake.

Over the years, it has joined various celebrations of my family, from birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries to graduations, always enjoying pride of place on our banquet table.

Years passed, and I expanded my repertoire of confectioneries, but I always remember that my first love was this Caramel Crunch Cake.

Imagine my dismay when I tried to have one delivered for a home celebration during lockdown and I couldn’t find it in any branch!

I thought then that I might not be able to taste my first favorite cake again but lo and behold: it’s back!

Red Ribbon is now re-offering the Caramel Crunch Cake at Php690 for a regular-sized cake. Now, my family’s celebrations will be complete and my kiddos can discover why I love this cake so much.

So go ahead and enjoy an old favorite or rediscover a sweet delight with Red Ribbon’s Caramel Crunch Cake!
