If you’re a fan of organic beauty and health solutions, organic markets, organic farming, or basically anything organic then you’d most likely be a fan of Glazed by Mariella.
Mariella Martinez, the proud owner of Glazed by Mariella, boasts of the different health benefits of using organic eggs for her delectable treats at a fraction of the price. And while we all know organic may be pricey, that’s not necessarily the case for Mariella’s affordable creations. Mariella had her first baking experiment at the summer of 2008. Her best friend had a new built-in oven which they decided to try, but things didn’t quite work as planned. Her first muffin recipe came out of a Cream Cornstarch box, wherein she just eyeballed the ingredients which resulted to muffins as hard as rocks you can practically throw them in a window and the window would break. But as they say, practice always makes perfect. After several attempts, Mariella finally perfected the art of baking where she learned the golden rule in baking—follow the recipe.

Marshmallow Cupcake – Php 420/dozen
Her Mom’s fondness of the Jonis Lemon Cake has been her inspiration in baking. Since then, she’s been on the hunt for the best chiffon recipe, which she now applies to her sumptuous treats. Why “Glazed by Mariella,” you ask? Her brother was the one who came up with ideas for a business name. While searching online for baking terms, she realized that she liked the term “glaze” since it’s the process she does with the caramel icing on her caramel cake. Her Caramel Cake was also the first product that helped her take her business off the ground.
Mariella offers the following products as of the moment: Caramel Cake, Marshmallow Cake, Swiss Butter Cake, Strawberry Butter Cake, Mocha Cake, Coffee Truffle Cake, Choco Marshmallow Cake, Dark Revel bars and Alfajores. I had the chance to try some of her delectable selections, and I’ll also be sharing my thoughts with you!
The Marshmallow cupcake had the right amount of sweetness. The icing on top tasted like Marshmallow fluff; combined with the perfect amount of chocolatey goodness, this one’s definitely a winner. I would have a second serving but there was none left after I left the box with my friends.
Caramel Cupcake – Php 420/dozen
Another favorite would be their Caramel Cupcake. If you can’t get enough of these precious treats, you can actually order their 12″ Round Chiffon Caramel Cake for P950—enough for the whole family or barkada! This one tasted a lot like the famous Yema Cake but creamier and fluffier. I couldn’t quite find the right adjective except that your first bite will be a party in your mouth.
Dark Revel Bars – Php 500.00/2 boxes
These babies have got to be the tastiest Revel Bars I’ve had in my life. The Dark Revel bars are made of 70%cocoa dark Belgian chocolate and oatmeal, which must be the reason why this treat had an amazing cocoa goodness to it. The flavor was deep and decadent but it didn’t overpower the oatmeal! My first bite literally melted the chocolate in my mouth.
Mini Alfajores – Php 480/18pcs
And last but not the least, their Mini Alfajores. I wasn’t quite sure what it was when I saw it. But after biting into it, I immediately tasted chocolate and a rich, creamy filling at the center. Mariella’s Alfajores is also made of 70% cocoa dark Belgian chocolate, and to top that off, it has dulce de leche filling! If that’s not on top of your dessert bucket list then you should be putting it in right now!
And before I let you guys in on the ordering process, I’d like to reiterate that goods made from organic eggs practically has less cholesterol, more Omega-3, more Vitamin E & A, they don’t have any antibiotics, and the chickens where they’re sourced from are only fed soy and corn-based feed, so it’s all natural! All these facts were resonating in my head as I finished my 6th baked goody from Mariella.
