.: APHRODISIAC BITES

Indulging in certain aprhodisiac foods can lead to unexpectedly speedy results!

NED'S BLACK PENETRATION

Named after my brother who loves to drink black coffee. This bite is made of chocolate cookie base filled with dark chocolate and black coffee mousse.

Caffeine stimulate, which is why some sects such as the Mormons do not drink it. In the MIddle East, home of aphrodisiamania, coffee s almost a second religion. In America, coffee has also created a cult with a language on its own, though in this case it is distinctly non-aphrodisiac.

MARVIN'S THREESOME

I dedicated and named this creation to my friend, Mr. Marvin Sarmiento. It is threesome because it is filled with 3 different kind of chocolates. Dark, Milk and White Chocolate. And as a complement to coffee? Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. Some believed that chocolate is even better than sex. It is one of the few aphrodisiac that can be scientifically proved to have constituents of the brain, but that is dampen to romance. Thank the Aztecs for discovering it.

SABRINA'S NIPPLE

Hoping my sister-in-law, Sabrina Millan-Galarion wont get mad naming this after her. This cup resembles the milk secreting, glandular organ on the chest of a woman is filled with white chocolate. Cherries symbolize the pink nipple of a woman.

HEIDE'S INTERCOURSE

Named after my bestfriend who is now living in California. The person who supported me all the way when I was still studying baking. Sending me my first Springform pan that helps to control my cake in baking.You see, I am using an old and broken oven that never reach 350F. In baking 350F is the standard temperature lower than that is a risk. But using black pan like Springform pan required a lower temperature.Thank you so much my dear friend for being so kind and generous.Thank you for all the pans you gave me even if I'm not asking for it. And thank you for all the long distance call just to ask me what I want and what I need. You give and expect nothing in return. You are an angel!

Anyone who has a sweet tooth would adore this creamy, chewy, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate-honey-caramel combination.

Most aphrodisiac act as stimulants, but honey is also one of the best and fastest-acting source of revitalising energy. There can only frustration if you are stimulated and aroused, yet are too tired to perform sexually.

Honey is a healer as well as stimulant and energy provider. The effect of honey are easier to quantify than many potential aphrodisiacs. In sexual activity, as in sport, blood sugar is used up more quickly than usual. The more vigorous the activity, the quicker the level of sugar falls. Eating everyday foods will bring the level back to normal but only after a time. This is when honey plays its part,by providing a quick fix. Unlike other instant energy providers, such as glucose, honey has absolutely no side effects.

SHIRLEY'S DESIRE

Created for my sister Shirley Martires. Opposite to my preference when it comes to chocolate which is plain chocolate, she loves chocolate full of nuts. This bite is filled with different kinds of nuts. Walnuts, Pistachio, Pine Nuts and Green Peas.

Many nuts have long been considered to have aphrodisiac qualities. Nefwazi, in The Perfumed Garden, suggests that virility can be enhanced by "...eating twenty almonds and one hundred grains of the pine tree' before bedtime for three successive days.

Pine nuts have long had a reputation as an aphrodisiac, especially around Mediterranean as well as in the east. Pine nuts are universally regarded as an aphrodisiac.

Pistachio nuts are a joy eaten plain but can also be added to other dishes. Arabs believed in the power of Pistachio.
Walnuts feature in many ancient manuals, and were used by Romans in fertility rites. They were thrown, as we throw rice, at wedding ceremonies to encourage fecundity.
Chick peas formed the basis of a popular stimulant for the Arabs. They were pounded to a paste with honey that had been heated with onion juice and a little water. Taken before bedtime, particularly in winter, this concoction had an invigorating effect.
The high protein content of all nuts accounts for their invigorating qualities which, in the long run, will help prolong and enhance sexual activity.

SOPHIA'S URGE

Made special for my niece-in-law, April Sophia Donato-Balerite, who lives and work in Dubai. A kind woman who keeps on asking me "Tita, What do you want? You want Pistachio for your cakes?" Thank you for everything and for showing a good example in the family.

Filled with dark cocolate and mint.
Mint is highly regarded aphrodisiac. Shakespeare wrote of it as stimulant for middle-aged gentlemen. Its refreshing coolness makes it an excellent balance to warmth-inducing spices. It is one of the most common herbs and grows like a weed.

CAROL'S TITILLATING NUTS

This is for you my dear friend, Carol Munion-Rama. Cup full of ground almonds.
Almonds with their highly evocative aroma have always been prized
in both the Near and Far East.

JOEY'S LIBIDO

Dedicated for my loving husband, Joey. Thank you for all the patience, support and for sleeping alone while I am studying. Thank you for fixing my defective oven. But be reminded that I am not that old to forget your promise to buy me a new oven and mixer.
Filled with dark chocolate and blueberries mousse.
