The declared bestseller is the <strong>Chocolate Macadamia Sansrival<\/strong>, thin layers of sansrival and thin chocolate cream, topped off with whole macadamia nuts for a nutty finish. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><strong>Mango Empress<\/strong> is another crowd favorite, and the cake is made of layers of cashew sansrival, meringue, and custard, topped with cubed mangoes and finished off with more meringue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8749\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/restaurant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/05\/Cafe-Latte_resized-1024x752.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/05\/Cafe-Latte_resized-1024x752.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/05\/Cafe-Latte_resized-290x213.jpg 290w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/05\/Cafe-Latte_resized-817x600.jpg 817w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/05\/Cafe-Latte_resized.jpg 1509w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><em style=\"font-size: 12pt;text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Caf\u00e9 Latte \/ IMAGE from Marian Benetua<\/span> <\/em><span style=\"color: #ffffff;font-size: 12pt\">&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Few of their other cakes are labeled <em>super moist<\/em>, and for good reason.
