I dropped by TCK's Eastwood branch before coming to work last night to buy their Scarlet Cake. I have had this dessert before and I loved it. I think it's the first ever red velvet cake that I tasted here in Manila, and definitely won't be the last.. While waiting for the cake, I literally have Spice Girl's song running through my head, specifically the line, "Are you as good as I remember, baby? Get it on, get it on..." Haha...
Anyway, here's a pic of the cake that I took prior to eating it:

Apologies for the poor image quality as I left my iPhone at home so I had to use my trusty ol' Blackberry Curve to take this snap. Somehow, my phone's camera just fails to capture the sheer redness of the cake itself. So I guess people will just have to take my word when I say that this cake is RED!
So what's my verdict on the cake? Is it as good as I remember? Uhm, not quite. It's a really good cake but somehow, the slice that I got last night was not as moist as the one that I got before. And by comparison, I think that UCC's Red Velvet Cake is better tasting. Well anyway, what I liked about the cake was its frosting. It was deliciously decadent, and the cocoa powder was a nice touch. It added depth to the overall flavor.
Overall, I think the cake is quite good, although definitely there are better velvet cakes out there that I need to explore. I will come back for more, provided that I am within the vicinity. It's not the type that I would go out of my way just to get a bite. :)
