Picture this: fake hanging vines against the backdrop of red armchairs while bright lights glisten over wooden furniture similar to the sugar frosting on a log cake - and you’ll get the gist of the kitschy-christmassy vibe of The Cheesecake Fairy. Our advice for the perfect photo? Add humour by accessorising excessively! Don a funky hat or a colorful scarf to match the whimsical deco - it’s the wackier, the better approach at The Cheesecake Fairy.
Recommended eats: Forgo the usual mains and chow down on the Pecan Cheesecake, Salted Caramel Cheesecake, Ube Cheesecake and unique Burnt Cheesecake priced at Php 250 per slice.
Address: Evia, Daang Hari Road, Almanza Dos, Las Pinas, Metro Manila, Philippines
