No space for large cakes and want something bite-sized? Here are some cupcake places to buy from in Metro Manila.

Sometimes, we just want a small bite that sugary goodness. But we don’t like destroying cakes since some just look too pretty. So, it’s less guilt-tripping when we eat cupcakes instead. It’s small, less intimidating, and easier to store in our freezers or refrigerator that’s full of leftovers. Plus, it’s easier to share cupcakes with others instead of having to bring out a cake slicer and platter. So, here are some good places to buy cupcakes in Metro Manila.

1. Lolila’s Deli

Lolila’s Deli may not sell purely cupcakes but their signature Brazo Cups is what makes them one of the top choices in Metro Manila. For those who are not into sponge-type cupcakes, their fluffy Brazo Cups are just delightful with the gooey custard in the middle. They come in a variety of flavors too. They have Ube flavored ones and chocolate-flavored ones. But for those who love it basic, they sell it in just the classic Brazo de Mercedes flavor too.

2. Cupcakes by Sonja
