Cookies & Cream Brownies



I love Oreo's. Can you tell? Well I whipped up a batch of Cookies & Cream Brownies. I loaded the brownies with some premium semi sweet chocolate, swirled in some tangy cream cheese and topped it with  double stuffed oreo crumbs. The brownie is just awesome, chocolatey and gooey in the center, with yummy cream cheese and the oreos stay nice and crisp on top. Having a batch around the house will not last long.

This is a work in progress getting my custom order menu in gear. So many yummy treats to offer still...if you are stopping by and like something you see email me for more info at sweetpstreatscebu@yahoo.com

Yummy!!

C is for Cookie!!


Who doesn't love cookies? I know I do, so much. I'm working on some varieties of cookies. Now, I am a simple girl I love chocolate chip cookies. Why, because they remind me of my childhood, the smell and the aroma of vanilla and chocolate all over the house. Yum!! I also love oatmeal and peanut butter, but the textures are different. I prefer a cookie that is a little bit crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I have worked on different recipes to get it just right. Here are my Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies with White Chocolate Chips, whew! Its a mouth full for sure. They are really delicious and ooey and gooey in the center with lots of chocolate. Will post more cookie options, soon.

Yum!

Why Do Custom Order/Delivery? Just Open Your Own Shop!!!!


The most important reason why I want to do custom order treats is due to freshness of the product. I am a huge stickler for buying fresh products. When I go shopping I try to get the best I can. When you go to the grocery or to a bakery, do you really know how old the product your getting is, how long has it been on the shelf or in the refridgerated case? Are you spending your good money on bread or cakes that's a few days old because you need to get something? Usually all retail stores stock "first in, first out" when a product comes in its put up front and it stays there until it sells then the fresher products are put behind, so the older products get sold first. I always grab the ones in the back first, being any kind of food product.

Baked goods especially cakes, cupcakes, cookies and brownies need to be enjoyed the day it is made that is when its the most fresh and the most delicious. You should not put baked goods in a ref because it will dry out the bake good. The best thing to do if you do not eat it the same day is to put it in an airtight container for up to 3 days or straight into the freezer. If you put baked goods in the freezer they will keep their moistness when you put them to room temperature before you enjoy them again.

I do want to open my own shop but that's in the future. I want to have a customer base that enjoys my treats first in order to open a shop. To open a shop for my customers, I would bake throughout the day in small batches and still do custom order and delivery. I would also offer specialty soups, sandwiches, burgers, fried chicken, roast chicken and more....one day. But for now, I need to start from the ground up and do just custom order delivery, it ensures that my treats are fresh and made for you.

(the pic is a little doodle I did, we all need a lil love, peace and a cupcake in our lives...)

Yummy!!

Brownies



The things I crave I look for at cafes, restos and bakeries. I want something that is simple but still has a decadence to it. If I can't find it then I make it the way I imagine it. One of my all time favorite treats since I was little has always been brownies. I love having a whole pan come out of the oven, warm and smelling of chocolaty goodness. Waiting 20 minutes to let it cool is excruciating! Then at last getting to cut into it and sinking in to the warm molten center, nothing is better than that!


Sweet P's Treats, Brownie to order Menu will include one of my family's favorites, Cream Cheese Swirl Brownies. (as seen in the pic) These brownies are exactly as I like them dense and rich. The top and the outer edges have a thin layer of crisp. The middle is ooey and gooey and the cream cheese adds a rich zing.  If you ever want to make someone happy or really adore you then give them some of these brownies. If you want the brownies all to yourself they are a great at home movie snack.


I hope Brownies to order will be to people like ordering a pizza. Its comforting and you can enjoy oven fresh treats at the comfort of your home. Knowing that the treats were made fresh for you with natural ingredients you can indulge in something simple yet special. Sweet goodness makes you feel good. 


Will post more of my brownie options and flavors, the minimum order will be one batch that is 24 brownies. That may seem like a lot if you are not having a celebration or sharing with a bunch. It will last a family of 4 about a day or two. The brownies will stay fresh for up to 3 days in an airtight container. A lovely snack to have around the house for sure!!


Yummy!

Oreo Crumb Cupcakes


What is your favorite part of an Oreo Cookie? The chocolate wafer or the white vanilla cream center?

Well, for me its always been the vanilla cream center. Usually Oreo cupcakes are made with a chocolate cake but since the vanilla cream center is my favorite part it led the way to Oreo Crumb Cupcakes. I wanted to emphasize the taste of the oreo and its much better this way than with a chocolate cake. Don't get me wrong I love chocolate cake :)

I made a vanilla buttercake and added some mashed up Oreo crumbs to the batter. Then I whipped up a batch of vanilla buttercream also with mashed up Oreo's in it and topped it with the number 1 cookie. The cake is moist and the buttercream is fluffy and it exudes my favorite part of an Oreo.

The best part of this cupcake is you can take the cookie and dunk it into the icing and eat a big dollap of icing with the cookie. When you bite down on the cake you taste bits of Oreo's, better yet I bet you can dunk the whole cupcake in milk! Have it anyway you like :)

Will continue to post new items that I may add to my custom order/delivery menu and maybe these Oreo Crumb Cupcakes will be on it......

Yummy!!

Coming soon.....Cupcakes!!




I have been baking cupcakes since I was a little girl. When I was pregnant with my children especially my daughter Lilly. I had at least 2 dozen cupcakes at hand, it was crazy, I would bake chocolate vanilla marbled cupcakes because I couldn't decide what cake flavor and then I would use 3 frostings, cream cheses, caramel and milk chocolate, I was addicted. I love cupcakes!!

Little did I know that my love for cupcakes would be such a big hit in the UK, Austrailia and the United States. They say its a fad but I think a little cake that is so sweet can put a smile on anyone's face. Usually people only enjoy cupcakes at birthday parties and celebrations, I enjoy cupcakes all the time, why can't we have a batch of yummy cupcakes in the kitchen waiting for us when we come home from work? Its like a sweet dose of goodness to make us feel better.

So I want to share my love for cupcakes with everyone here in Cebu. Sweet P's Treats moist cupcakes, made with natural ingredients and fresh per order.

They are very moist and I have worked to find the perfect combination of moist with a little dense crumb. Sinking in to one is like heaven and so light you could eat 2-3 in one sitting.


Yummy!!!
