"Don’t leave town without trying the addictive silvanas (cookies filled with buttercream) or a slice of cake from this long-term bakery (1977)."

Feliciano Rodriguez

"The silvanas are an absolute must-try—irresistible frozen buttercream sandwiched between two cashew-meringue wafers. Chocolate and other variants are also available."

Penda Penn

"I'm not a big fan of sweets (not counting chocolates) but the Silvanas really awakened my sweet tooth, like some deranged dental physician."

Renz Kristofer Cheng

"Normally, I don't enjoy silvannas, but this is an ultimate exception! There's a memorable crunch as you take a bite, and the taste of the icing and filling was something you won't get tired of easily. The sweetness is not overwhelming, so you can really focus on the goodness!"

Lynne Esguerra

"While not much in terms of layers, all the buttery and cashew nut goodness is sandwiched between some crunchy-chewy meringue. The crunchiness is experienced when the Silvanas are fresh out of the refrigerator."

Christian Lucas Sangoyo

"We were so impressed we even brought home a few boxes of their Silvanas."

Geoffrey Ledesma

"Sweet, creamy silvanas with a taste that I can definitely describe as heavenly. The first bite will give you a little bit of crunch, but you’ll eventually discover that the powdery crust is also chewy with a hint of nutty flavor."

Renz Kristofer Cheng

"As for the taste, well, I can say that I enjoyed it pretty well! It has a distinct icing taste, and the texture was great!"

Lynne Esguerra

"It looks like and layers of meringue, icing, sugar, butter, and crushed cashew nuts. It looks like it is painstakingly laborious to make just to get the layers in the right amount, order, and consistency."

Christian Lucas Sangoyo

"And finally their famed sans rival; sweet, sticky, nutty, caramely, buttery goodness. It tasted as good and sinful as it looked. It deserves all the praises it has reaped and the best thing about it; it will only cost you Php26.00 per slice."
