Among the products that they offer, we tried two varieties of their cakes. Let's take a look at the reviews of our conscientious critics.
1. Presentation and Appearance of the Cake
Cake 1: Igloo Ice Cream Cake
If you want a delicious show-stopper of a cake, look no more! This three-layer ice cream cake from Mon Dough is cool, chewy, and creamy on the inside, and delightfully warm chocolatey on the outside. The Igloo Ice Cream Cake covers layers of decadent chocolate ice cream, chewy marshmallow filling, and rich, moist chocolate sponge cake, making it the perfect combination for anyone with a sweet tooth. This cake might not look presentable to some, but wait till you taste it. It's downright irresistible! Each bite is sweet and luscious, with textures and flavors that complement each other. It's a must-try! This delectable ice cream cake from Mon Dough will definitely satisfy your ice cream cake cravings and bring a cheerful gleam to your face.
Cake 2: Moma Chocolate Cake
Choco-holics, you’re in for a sweet treat because this particular decadent chocolate cake from Mon dough is guaranteed to be made fresh with the finest ingredients. No extravaganza chocolate toppings and ganache in sight, just decadent layers of cream layered between the sponge cake, undeniably lending a rich flavor to the chocolate.
Truly indulgent, this chocolate cake is generously slathered with cream. Chocolate and cream—what’s not to love? One slice is more than enough for a single sitting as well, and you’ll want to eat this masterpiece with a good cup of coffee or a glass of fresh milk. So, forget about the calories and just dig right in with this Moma Chocolate Cake by Mon Dough.
Cake 3: Auro Ferrero Ice Cream Cake
Ice cream cake is undeniably the perfect dessert for warm weather, and this Auro Ferrero ice cream cake by Mon Dough is the best pastry for chocoholics. First of all, the exterior of the ice-cream cake looked lovely and unique. There’s a fun twist though, it’s actually topped with Ferrero Rocher ganache and a little chocolate frosting around the edges to add even more chocolate and give it a magnificent and mouth-watering look.
As for its ice cream, the taste was actually amazing and was so smooth and creamy as well. As for the cake, it had a good flavor and wasn't too dry. Overall, the combination of the chocolate cake and ice cream was perfectly balanced. We also liked the addition of the luscious Ferrero Rocher chocolate ganache.
Cake 4: Sans Rival Cake
There is undoubtedly no rival for a Sans Rival Cake! With scrumptious layers of nutty meringue, creamy French buttercream filling and roasted cashews, the Classic Sans Rival Cake from Mon Dough is far from ordinary. The contrast between the smooth buttercream, chewy meringue, and crunchy cashews gives the dessert its unique texture and flavors that complement each other. It's creamy, chewy, crunchy, sweet, and salty, all in one delicious bite. However, because of the cake's variety of flavors and creamy richness, we recommend sharing a slice with someone if you become queasy after indulging in too many flavors and too much creaminess. Moreover, the cake presentation is simple but definitely inviting and mouth-watering! Indeed, this Classic Sans Rival Cake from Mon Dough is another irresistible treat to try.
2. Staff / Employees
A friendly and accommodating crew at your service.
Talking about MON DOUGH’s staff employees, they were certainly accommodating, courteous, and fast. We just cannot get over how helpful the staff members were and how wonderful and dedicated they were in serving the customers and the company they work for. Indeed, MON DOUGH’s employees created great working environments, hence increasing their overall productivity
3. Store Ambiance (store layout, product display, music)
Your taste buds are sure to be entertained the moment you step into this haven of pastries.
Mon Dough Baking Company does not skimp when it comes to embellishments drawn from the breathtaking Philippine scenery. The bakeshop's interior is filled with fascinating decor and a variety of cultural paintings that are pinned to the walls -perfect for art aficionados. The entire place is decorated in earthy tones like orange, brown, and white, making it suitable for date nights as it is for early morning coffee and pastries.
We can attest that the fused aroma of their baked goodies will definitely put a smile on your face! We also love the fact that they heat up your order before crunch time. As you walk further, more mouthwatering options can be found. They offer premium packaging with a few extras in addition to their product displays. Speaking of displays, it can be challenging to pick a favorite because everything on display is delicious and enticing, especially their cakes and delectable Filipino sweets.
You can take a more relaxed approach and order from a menu of pastries that are freshly made each morning on your way to work if you're looking for your morning sweet fix or an afternoon treat or even any time of the day since they’re open all throughout the week.
