Metro Manila’s enhanced community quarantine means going back to basics—simple homecooked meals, instant noodles or canned foods, and the occasional takeout or delivery order. But every now and then, we need something sweet to cheer us up—chocolate to put a smile on kids’ faces, ice cream to beat the heat, candles on a cake to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, or even cookies that frontliners can enjoy as a brief respite from the stress.
