Julie’s Bakeshop: Summer Breads & Chicken Empanada

Summer’s not about to go even on the last month of the summer season here in the Philippines. We were able to visit Julie’s Bakeshop Manila office yesterday and discovered interesting finds on Julie’s Bakeshop Summer Breads.

Meggie Jose and Kate Biol, Julie’s Bakeshop Marketing Manager and Marketing Assistant, respectively, welcomed us to their office and introduced us the five new summer breads and baked goodies that shouts ‘summer‘ through their colors.

Rainbow Round Cake

What is a bakeshop with out the traditional cakes. The new  Rainbow Round Cake (P160 whole) would certainly be enjoyed by the kids or bring out the kid in you. The6″ round butter chiffon cake are covered with festive red, yellow, and green layers and designs; covered with creamy whipped cream.

It’s also available in a square slice at P45.

Rainbow Cupcakes (top photo)

Second in line are Julie’s Rainbow Cupcake creation. It has a common vanilla based cupcake s topped with tropical flavors symbolic of the season: pineapple, strawberry, buko pandan and ube. Add to that a sprinkle of confetti sugar in colors.

It costs P12 a piece and oddly at a more expensive P75 per pack perhaps due to the packaging involved with a set of 6.

Guava Fruit-Filled Bread

For bite-sized hunger, you would find the round Yummy Yoyos  sandwich puffs that similarly comes in varieties of orange, buko pandan, pineapple and strawberry.  Each ‘yummy yoyo‘ has an SRP of P5.

Fruit-Filled Breads

The Fruit-Filled Breads are flower-shaped sweets with a surprise of guava, mango, and pineapple form the inside. At P7 a piece, this was a surprisingly good find. The bread itself is also soft and chewy.

My favorite is the guava-filled.

Chicken Empanada

Generously filled with chunky chicken meat, Julie’s Chicken Empanada is another value find. Remember to  have it hot straight from the oven for maximum satisfaction. At P8 a piece, you would certainly have more than 1 piece.

Among the five Julie’s Bakeshop Summer Breads (+ empanada), I liked the fruit-filled breads (guava) and the chicken empanada the best. You really have to really try at least my 2 recommendations. Like, now. 🙂
