    Cakes are majestic desserts. Many people around the world find it irresistible. I think it is rare to see someone who actually hates eating this pastry. So far, cakeshops continue to get their income from almost all the people from their vicinity. They buy it for celebrations, parties, and even on simple days. And there are also those who make these treats on their own. Like how we are about to do with the help of this recipe.

    I know how much Filipinos love the combination of macapuno and ube. And now that they’re together as a pastry flavor, they can enjoy them in another exciting way.
