Merienda at 3, happy hour at 5. These delicious snacks will make the time go by so much faster between the two.
I'm not too big on alcohol but I admit: these days, I need a drink. Thankfully, I don't have to reach into my liquor cabinet just yet. These lovely desserts from Manila bakers and creators are the perfect substitute (or companion) for an afternoon drink. Check them out below!

1. The Drunk Baker
The Drunk Baker's strawberry rum cream cheesecake is a delicious melange of flavours and textures. Beautiful strawberries are placed atop a bed of rum-soaked cream cheese; the fruity, tart flavours of the berries complement the mellow sweetness of the cream perfectly. Meanwhile, the cake, moist and flavourful, provides a wonderful base that's reminiscent of lazy Sunday afternoon teatime.
Those looking to enjoy an alcohol-free cake will also be able to customise their icing to be plain cream cheese (without the rum!).
