Have you tried the delicious Polly’s cakes? You know, the chocolate cake as well as the cupcakes? They make excellent Christmas gifts!

For example, the Torta de Cebu is a filling, buttery-cupcake with delightful sugar crystals sprinkled on top. Usually, these a dozen of these cupcakes are arranged in a box.

You may request for modifications in the packaging. For example, you can have four cupcakes placed in a smaller, square box. It appears to be made of stiff brown kraft paper.

Then, request for some Christmas-y decoration. It can be as simple as a red or gold ribbon, yet it looks beautiful! The minimalist brown design of the box, plus the striking accent provided by the ribbon makes it a truly eye-catching Christmas present.

From what I heard, if you place your order today, you can have the cupcakes (complete with Christmas gift box arrangement) in less than 2 days.

I was so excited (and hungry from those scrumptious Polly’s Torta de Cebu cupcakes), that I forgot to snap a photo. Maybe next time.

Here’s wishing all of you a Merry Christmas!
