I was about to order the new Goldilocks Mango Empress but the branch told me they’re sold out. Instead, I got the Goldilocks Mango Dream cake. One thing I like about this cake is that it’s sweet but the sweetness is just right that’s not cloying. It’s not like the previous premium cake I bought named “Coffee Layered Crunch” which was a mix of very sweet and caffeinated cake.
The Dreamy Layers Of A Mango Cake
Mango Coulis Topping
Let’s begin at the top! There is a thin layer of Mango Coulis and it tastes like syrup. I’m not a pastry chef but I’ll just describe it as what I understand what it is. It’s just a smooth and bright sauce made by blending up ripe mangoes—maybe with a squeeze of lemon or lime to make it zingy. I think the lemon part is where I get that tangy taste. This Mango Coulis is what gives the cake a zap of mango flavor on your tongue.
The Outer Cream Layers
This is the part of the cake where I don’t understand. Why is it just plain whipped cream? Plain whipped cream to me tastes bland. It just fluffy cream without flavor. It feels so empty. Plus, it covers the whole outer layer of the cake.
The Premium Blend Of Mango Flavors
I assume the 3 layers of cakes consists of mango chiffon for the top and bottom layers and the middle layer to be the vanilla chiffon. There is also some mango syrup in the cakes. In between the cakes are layers of mango whipped cream and real mango bits—real fruits makes it more delicious!
Tastes Better Than Mango Float
One of my favorite desserts is Mango Float but my mind has completely changed after I tasted this wonderful cake. Let’s put a comparison: Mango Float has layers of Graham Crackers but it doesn’t have the softness that a cake has and also the fluffiness of a cream. I can confidently say that Mango Dream Cake is fit for my list of favorite desserts.
Goldilocks Mango Dream Price
I always take a photo of the price tag for you guys. This cake might be worth ₱710 but it’s worth the dreamy mango flavors that melt in your mouth.
