Vanilla Cupcake Bakery: More than just a Cupcake Shop

I always have a mania on cakes, breads, cupcakes and the like.  I go and try whenever I see shops specializing on such, until I came across the Vanilla Cupcake Bakery.

At first I have no idea that such entity exists until I chanced upon the music video of Kim Chiu’s “Mr. Right” wherein my glance was caught by the colorful pastel background.  I thought the place was an interim concept made exclusively for the said music video.  In other words, curiosity hit me so I searched of this Vanilla Cupcake Bakery’s locale.  I figured it could just be near the grounds of ABS-CBN and I was right. It is just along Mother Ignacia. So I said to myself, “I won’t let go until I try you.”

This is at the left side of VCB’s façade. Great area for clients who smoke.

Little did I know that the following day, I would go and traverse to the said cupcake bakery because I was with my sister and her best friend. They asked me where I would want to go and eat. I told them I want to try my new conquer, that is, the Vanilla Cupcake Bakery.  They both looked at me and asked, “What’s that?”  When I told them how I got the name of the shop, they unanimously grinned back at me.  So off we go to the place of spot.

When we arrived at the place, around 7:30 in the evening, we didn’t have trouble in the nearby parking.  That’s one point for me. You will be welcomed by a refreshing facade once you enter the place because of its homey ambiance.

A wide array of cupcakes and puddings in a jar will welcome you

More than just a space, you will never experience a disorder or clutter once you’re inside, even if the place is in full capacity.  I can say this is a great place for people who discuss business over a cup of coffee or for comrades who make up for lost times.

You will never get enough of these chilled cakes and ice cream cakes. Promise!

That night I binge for their “Croque Madame”. A delightful but different version of their ham, cheese, poached egg and sandwich put together which is smothered with yummy cheese sauce. I couldn’t ask for more. This one filled my tummy already. I partnered it with my current craze strawberry iced tea. Wonderful!

This is their Banoffee Custard served in a jar. If you want a souvenir with this trip, you may take home the jar, finished or not, free-of-charge. Cool!

Their wallpaper murals depict a cozy and “feel-at-home” attitude.

I really enjoyed my first-time in trying this Vanilla Cupcake Bakery. It’s like I went back to grandma’s home. I’ll get back to this place for sure, probably with my own circle of friends. A nice experience visiting Vanilla Cupcake Bakery. After all, it's more than just a cupcake shop!

This quaint space will enthrall you. More than just a throwback enigma.
