Thanks to TikTok, Liliw Bake Shop has become something of a destination, so our expectations were high when we visited. We went specifically for the roll cakes that have been getting attention online.
What we tried
We sampled all three roll flavours—vanilla, chocolate, and caramel. Trying all three made it easy to compare texture and sweetness across the range.
Taste and texture
The rolls are enjoyable but not the revelation social media suggested. The cake itself is denser than a Goldilocks roll but follows a very similar style. It’s soft and pleasant, with the different flavours offering the expected chocolate, vanilla, and caramel notes without any dramatic surprises.
Value and who it’s for
The slices are reasonably priced at around 25 per slice, which makes them an affordable snack rather than a destination dessert. If you’re already in Liliw, they’re worth trying; I wouldn’t recommend making a special trip solely because of the online hype.
Final takeaway
Enjoyable and wallet-friendly, the rolls deliver a familiar, denser-than-Goldilocks sponge. They meet expectations for a casual treat but didn’t live up to the viral frenzy for us.
