I know its a struggle for beginners to find the cheapest baking ingredients and tools in Metro Manila. When I started way back in 2007,
it was a struggle for me to find rare ingredients in supermarkets. For example, when I want to make macarons, I cant find cheap
blanched almonds or almond meal in supermarkets. In my 6 years in search for cheap baking supplies, below is the list of stores I often
go to:
Best Way Merchandising
691 Sto. Cristo Street, Divisoria
They have relatively cheap icing gel colors(85pesos/oz), nuts(500-800pesos/kg) and tylose powder (700pesos/kg), but the rest of
their items are quite price compared to purchasing them online. Their gourmet writer costs about 800-850pesos, which I can get it at
online stores like love2bake co and baking buddies. Moreover, when I went there last week, their macaron mat costs 650! Do not buy
baking tools there such as cutters, molders, etc because it is expensive.
As for packaging materials like rolls of cellophane/or plastic wrapper, its very cheap. Its about 150-155 per roll depending on the
print. For boxes, I really couldnt say cheap because I get my boxes directly to the manufacturer.
Chocolate Lovers
45 P. Tuazon Blvd, Cubao, Quezon City
They have the Chocolate Compound and Nuts. They have a lot of cake packaging materials, cake boards, ready made cupcake
toppers, cupcake stands, chocolate moulders, lollipop sticks, baking pans, glycerin, glucose, gelatin, confectioners sugar and more.
Love2Bake Co.
6 Palanca Street, Fruition Bldg, BF Homes, Paranaque
https://www.facebook.com/love2bakeco
They have cheap americolor gel icing and airbrush color, pearl/luster/sparkle dusts, fondant moulds, cutters, macaron mats, pans,
sheet trays, dummy styro and more.
Personally, this is my favorite online baking supplies store! They are not just an online store, they have a physical store located in the
address i mentioned above. I get most of my tools from this store from my fondant rolling pins to icing colors. (Disclaimer: Im not
paid for endorsing this store, this is just based on the variety of products they sell and my personal buying experience with
them)
Bake Et Al
Calatagan Street Corner Filmore Street, Makati City
They have almost everything, from all purpose flour to cake pans to decorating tools to cake stands and displays.
This is also one of my favorite store because it is near where I live and their staff are very nice.
Baking Buddies
https://www.facebook.com/bakingbuddies
Imported fondant shoe cutters, airbrush compressor package, macaron mats and more.
MK Kitchen
http://mksurpluswarehouse.tripod.com
Kitchen stainless steel working table, sheet trays, tart moulders, spoon forks and other kitchen utensils.
Killion Merchandising
40 Orosco St., Quiapo Manila
733-8221 to 25
All baking ingredients except imported ones are available here. I only buy flour and confectioners sugar here. Those two are the
ingredients I buy here because it is way cheaper than buying them in baking supplies store and supermarket.
When you plan to visit Killion, I suggest that you go there at between 7:30-8:15am so you wont have to queue and wait for a long
time to get your stuff.
Landmark Makati
At the 4th floor of Landmark Mall in Makati, you can find cheap baking tools such as rolling pins, muffin pans, fondant cutters and
smoothers, chocolate moulds, spatulas, cupcake stands, baking pans, food processors and more. This place may not be a one stop
shop to buy your baking needs, but for bakers who have day time jobs in Makati, this is the closest baking haven you can go to.
Ingredients
Method
For the cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees or 170 degree C.
Grease and flour two or one big round baking pans.
In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt and baking soda. Set aside.
Melt butter in a pot over medium-low heat.
While that's melting, add 3 tablespoons instant coffee to 1 cup boiling water. Set aside.
Once butter has melted, add coffee mixture to the butter in the pot. Let it come to a boil for about ten
seconds, then turn off the heat. Set aside for just a minute.
In a separate bowl, add buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
Pour the butter/ coffee mixture into the flour mixture. Stir the mixture together gently. The purpose
here isn't to mix it together perfectly, but to cool down the heat before adding the egg mixture.
Add in the egg mixture and stir gently until well combined. Then pour into pans. Bake for 20-22
minutes or until cooked. (Chef says: For one big pan took me almost 35-40 minutes.)
Allow to cool completely.
Add to the butter mixture and mix thoroughly until evenly combined and coloured (scrape any unmixed
ingredients from the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula)
Turn the mixer down to slow speed and slowly pour in half the buttermilk - beat until well mixed, then add half
the flour and beat until everything is well incorporated
Repeat this process until all the buttermilk and flour have been added
Scrape down the side of the bowl again
Turn the mixer up to high speed and beat until you have a smooth, even mixture
Turn the mixer down to low speed and add the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar - beat until well mixed, then
turn up the speed again and beat for a couple more minutes
Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until two-thirds full and bake in the preheated oven for 2025 minutes,
or until the sponge bounces back when touched
A skewer inserted in the centre should come out clean
Leave the cupcakes to cool slightly in the tray before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely
For the cream cheese frosting
Beat the icing sugar and butter together in a freestanding electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a
handheld electric whisk) on medium-slow speed until the mixture comes together and is well mixed
Add the cream cheese in one go and beat until it is completely incorporated
Turn the mixer up to medium-high speed - continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy, at least 5
minutes
Do not overbeat, as it can quickly become runny
When the cupcakes are cold, spoon the frosting on top
