Ahhhhh… the struggle of living in a household where everyone has different tastes… I have been living in a household like this all my life. This is actually why I hardly ever buy cake, even on celebrations, because chances are only one person will like the flavor and then they won’t be able to finish it and we’ll just end up giving it away. This is one predicament that Torte by Mae has solved for us.
Mae is a mom of three girls, who loves searching for different dessert recipes online and trying them out. Mae has always made different desserts for her kids and one day, she thought: “Why not make desserts in a tin can?” After all, desserts taste good when they’re cold, and tin cans look presentable. “Plus, since my kids love what I make; maybe other people will love it, too,” she adds.
After some brainstorming and research on how to make cheesecakes, Mae decided to make desserts that aren’t just Instagram-worthy, but will also be craved for by people – products that aren’t too sweet, but are mouth-watering and flavorful. Here are Torte by Mae’s available flavors:
Blueberry and Cookies and Cream 2-in-1 Sampler (Php600)
Blueberry and Cookies and Cream are part of their roster because Mae figured that these are common flavors that people love and she thought they would be sellable. Well, she definitely got that right!
2-in-1 Tiramisu Sampler (Php600) – Classic Tiramisu and Matcha-misu
Since Mae’s daughters love Tiramisu and she loves Matcha, she added those, too. Just like them, my daughter’s favorite is the Tiramisu, while mine is the Matcha. ๐
Creme Brulee (Php550)
Mae added Creme Brulee to her roster because she hasn’t seen anyone selling Creme Brulee Cheesecake yet. The exquisitely rich and elegant classic French dessert has been given a cheesecake filling with a bruleed sugar topping to complete its deliciousness.
As mentioned earlier, my favorite part about Torte by Mae is the fact that she offers ‘samplers’, so you can get 2 flavors in 1 or even 4 flavors in 1! This way, you can taste some (or all!) of her flavors before deciding on getting an entire tin can of your favorite one… or you can just get entire ones at once. If you’re a huge cake lover, then you’re sure to finish it pretty quickly anyway. :p
When stored in the freezer, Torte by Mae’s products can last an entire month. Just make sure to keep the lid on to keep the flavors intact.
Oh, and heads up! Mae reveals that she might come up with Salted Caramel, Smore’s, and Chocolate Lava Cakes in the future, as well. We can’t wait!
