Drool-worthy Yema Cake and Frozen Brazo by Claudine’s Homemade Classics
When it comes to food, the ones I like best are usually created by chefs and patissieres I’ve met. Not that I’m being biased or anything because I do appreciate food created by people I don’t know personally, but I’ve been such a lucky gal to actually meet some of the quality ones.
I met Claudine of Claudine’s Homemade Classics at a baking workshop in 2015 at what I refer to as my favorite kitchen in the South – Feed 5000. There were four of us in the class, two of whom were running cake businesses, Claudine being one of them, and I was one of the two baking enthusiasts.

Observing Claudine during the class, I was aware of how meticulous she was with the measurements and the procedures. She took each step with fine accuracy. (Can you trace respect in my words?)
The waiting….
When she first launched her Yema cake, I knew I had to taste it! And this was just from the pictures alone. I’ve never had Yema cake before, seriously, and when I was chatting with Claudine about it, she was extremely surprised considering Yema cakes has become really popular over summer of last year. Unfortunately, our schedules (mine and Jay’s) wouldn’t allow us to pick up a cake from her shop then. How sad!
Let me make my long story short. We got to taste Claudine’s luscious, melt-in-your-mouth Yema cake early this year and it was soooo worth the wait! I also ordered her version of Frozen Brazo and I’m telling you, it’s to die for.
If you’ve been reading my blog for sometime, you probably have read me mention that I don’t have a sweet tooth, so I’m not much into cakes. I do love Ice Cream though, but even that isn’t something I take all the time. Only when my monthly period cravings call for it, haha! I mean that.
Yema Cake
You must know that the buttercream inside Claudine’s Yema cake is an original recipe. She stumbled upon it while experimenting in her kitchen. From the time she introduced it, it has become her number one bestseller.
Claudine’s Yema cake is a chiffon cake frosted with icing and sprinkled with our very own Queso de bola which I think balances the sweetness and flavor of this heavenly dessert.
Frozen Brazo
I have no idea how to describe Claudine’s Frozen Brazo. All I can tell you is that it was gone in one sitting, hahaha!
The kids were telling me they wanted it for their birthdays and we’re going to grant that wish for sure. I want it for their birthdays, too, hahaha!
Customise your Yema cake
Claudine’s Homemade Classics offers a chocolate variation of the Yema cake. She also offers customisation in terms of design.
Do you need a cake for your anniversary dinner? How about for your niece’s 18th birthday? For your renewal of vows? Enough with the usual cakes that already bore the taste buds off you and go for Claudine’s Yema cake. Your guests will surely love it as much as you’ll do.
Or you’re a chocolate-lover, go for her Totally Chocolate Cake!
Claudine’s Homemade Classics is a combination of mouthwatering goodness and class. Something you don’t get in your cakes everyday.

The Yema Cake looks just divine. That definitely looks like something you could give up your dieting for!

I am definitely going to order from Claudine’s. These potluck lunches in the office are starting to become more frequent – the perfect reason to get Yema Cake. It’s also convenient that they deliver.

We’re the same when it comes to sweets.:) Regular days, a slice of cake would take 24 hrs to be consumed. Haha even ice cream, a scoop for me would do. 🙂 my last pregnancy though was different, I wanted cake and chocs every minute.
I want to taste that yema cake. 🙂 I agree that they look classy. I like cake designs like these. 🙂

I think this Claudines cakes is worth to check out. However, if I know Yema and how sweet it is, I don’t think I can finish even a slice.

Wow The Yema Cake and the Brazo de Mercedes loosk really tasty. I’m such a sweet tooth and I’m drooling already.

I have so much respect for bakers! The patience and effort they put into baking is incomparable. Ang hirap kaya mag-bake. She’s from Merville Paranaque lang pala. I got so curious (and hungry) with her yema cake. I love yema cakes kasi! Haha! Gotta check her Facebook page now! 😀

This totally made me crave for Yema Cake! What lovely brand that customizes Yema Cake :O

Our family has sweet tooth so we always have sweets at home. I’m not really fond of yema cake and frozen brazo de mercedes or hindi pa lang ko nakakatikim ng masarap. Most of the time, I buy roll cake if napapadaan sa bakeshop. 🙂

seeing the photo cakes makes me crave and want some slice of it.

I was impressed right away after my first bite. The yema cake was moist and dense. There was a thick caramel icing spread on top plus a thin layer in between the cake. Ahhh heaven.
Abby Borja
Ahh drool worthy indeed! Checking out their pages now to see if they deliver to Alabang. *fingers crosses*

Diet be damned!!! This cake looks so yummylicious…I would definitely check whether I get this variety in SG.
Denice
So yummy! Photos are drool worthy indeed! I must buy one for my husband who has a sweet tooth!

I’m crazy about chocolate cake but the Yema cake really got me intrigued on how it taste like! Make me wish to just have a tiny slice!

I should have ordered one of Claudine’s cakes for Zander’s baptism instead. We weren’t happy with the cake we got. While they were able to deliver on the design we asked for, the cake didn’t taste yummy at all!
