A Blue Birthday
it was hubby’s birthday today and i was scrambling this morning to find the best blueberry cheesecake i could buy because that is his one and only favorite dessert (talk about cramming!).
i looked in greenbelt but couldnt locate the elusive cheesecake (or maybe i was too engrossed with with the anya hindmarch in adora! mwahaha!) and so i threw caution to the wind (in other words i was out of time!!!) and just got one from conti’s.
ive never tasted the blueberry cheesecake from this pastry shop before but it looked good enough with a unique crust that enveloped the pie, or so i thought…
after the pie box had been opened and the cheesecake served and tested…well, hubby verbalized it was good but i could tell bday boy was not too happy.
the first thing i noticed when we opened the box was the crust that apparently enveloped the pie had a good 1cm clearance from the cheesecake. i thought that i had just transported the cake wrong and created the booboo. but of course the blueberry topping was not a thing to be happy about either. not only was it thin comprising mostly of gooey sauce but it didnt even coat the whole cheesecake top! *a bop on the head for not scrutinizing the item before it was placed in the box!*
and the most disappointing thing is the cheesecake was more like a foam cake than anything else! its like whipped foam thickened with a hint of cheesecake!
overall rating:
crust -failed!
blueberry topping -failed!
cheesecake -failed!
goodness! i think thats the worst cake ive ever bought!
looks like we have to score a jackpot on sundays food adventure to make up for todays blue birthday!

i haven’t tried conti’s blueberry cheesecake and from the looks of it, it’s not their crowning glory. but the cake they’re famous for is the mango bravo, which is absolutely heavenly! 🙂
i agree entrepgirl, ive had their mango bravo several times and thats why i was so surprised another product from the same pastry place could be, well, putting it mildly, not so good
First of all, happy birthday to Reg! 🙂
I haven’t tried anything in Conti’s. 😦
Will surely have that mango bravo when I get the chance.
Err … I’m not fond of blueberries …
Interesting blog, I’ll try and spread the word.
haven’t tried this.. but their Mango Bravo and Turtle Pie are yummy! for choco lovers, try the Chocolate Overload cake!
i like my cheesecake dense and heavy. i think the one at starbucks is alright. will try to find something like that here in makati.
