Please, a little journalism can go a long way. Not like this. Here’s the original blog article by Byahilo on Calea cakes dated some time in 2006 (which by the way I have to agree is really yummy — click to enlarge):
And here’s the article in the Philippine Star, dated May 16 2009 (click to enlarge):
Byahilo’s version:
This cakeshop first opened its doors beside the L’ Fisher Hotel in Lacson Street. In no time, words spread like wildfire. Loyal patrons immediately grew in number, thus, the need for a larger space. Calea, then opened their second store at the Robinson’s Place in Mandalagan Bacolod City. And just recently, they also opened their third branch at the East Block, along the Circumferential Road. So what’s with Calea, anyway? To explain it directly, it’s one of a kind. No Metro Manila cakeshop could ever beat the cakes of Calea. Compare it head-to-head with Goldilocks or Red Ribbon, and you’ll know what I mean. And their cakes are cheaper too! Cheesecakes are pegged between 50-58 pesos per slice depending on the type of the cake. My personal favorites are the Blueberry Cheesecake and the Oreo cheesecake. Their Oreo Cheesecake is far more superior than that of Starbucks. So when you get a chance to visit Bacolod City, never dare miss the cakes of Calea.
