Now, you can make your own version of the Goldilocks baked treats and desserts right at home with the Goldilocks Bakebook! In commemoration of its 45 years in the business, Goldilocks willingly shares 211 pages of 108 Goldilocks recipes plus the story behind the country’s well-loved bakeshop.

As one of the winners of Goldilocks’ blog writing contest in 2009, I was blessed to have been invited to its intimate launch last week at Glorietta 5. I was also given my own copy of the bakebook, signed by no other than the founders themselves, sisters, Clarita Leelin-Go and Milagros Leelin-Sy.

In fact, we buy cheesecakes only by the slice. So imagine my delight when MetroDeal offered a whole 8″ Cheesecake, etc. cheesecake at 50% off. Instead of Php 995, the Mango Passion cheesecake I ordered only cost Php 495. Sweet!
