The town of Los Banos is known for several things like hot springs, UPLB, Buko Pie and of course Mer-Nel's Cake which has even become a great alternative for Buko Pie.

Mer-Nel's Chocolate cake is one of my top choices compared to commercial cakes. Their chocolate cake is moist while the icing has just the right sweetness with the goodness taste of milk. There are also variances of their cakes that have chocolate filling inside for a more chocolatey goodness, while their Pandan and Strawberry cakes have Yema filling. For this reason, it has become a household name in Los Banos and even in Laguna for every occasion like birthday, anniversary and even graduation.

They have several stores; one in SM Calamba and two in Los Banos, one of which also serves as their event place and restaurant that offers several menus like Burgers, Lumpiang Sariwa, Pansit Palabok all of which tastes great and generously garnished at a very affordable price.

***I love their chocolate icing.
