The first time I encountered Jenny Silayan's Sugarbee was in DCF's Christmas Gift List Food Bazaar.
I remember loving her Florentines (bottom right of cover photo), those paper-thin discs of ribbed chocolate topped with hardened caramel marred with pockmarks, almond slices and mango bits. Her Alfajores (top right) are shortbread cookies bathed in powdered sugar. Sandwiched in between is a layer of caramel that gently oozes out as you bite a piece off, traces of sugar in tow.
Other goodies by Jenny are the Sans Rival Chips (bottom left), Toblerone Cupcakes and Carrot Cupcakes (top left), as well as the Valrhona Torte (middle right) which comprises layers of meringue and chocolate under an umbrella of smooth chocolate glaze.
Perhaps one of Jenny Silayan's most mouthwatering creations is her Lava Cake. I've yet to try this but just judging by the photo Jenny sent me, I'm quite dying to. Veering from the usual shapes, this particular molten chocolate cake is contoured to reflect its mold -- that familiar aluminum used for baking mamons or even ensaymadas. A shallow flower in form, this moist-looking pastry spills out warm liquid chocolate when sliced into. I believe it is best eaten with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance out the richness.
