Just in time for Halloween, Chef Lovely Jiao of Sugarplum Pastries returns with No tricks, just treats!, a spooky series from the dessert innovator’s amusing offers that gather people together.

“Our Halloween collection started during the pandemic when most kids were indoors,” Chef Lovely shared. “Now that everyone is outdoors, we decided to have a selection for kids to share as tokens and giveaways.”

“Let us commemorate the face-to-face interactions, which we lost for a few years.”

The crowd-favorite season-inspired Cookie-Dos are back. The DIY pack includes naked sugar biscuits, which could take the shape of skulls, ghosts, and monsters. It comes with three piping bags in the colors of purple, orange, and green, as well as a variety of sprinkles and chocolate balls.

“The cookie-dos inspire creativity,” Chef Lovely beamed. “We keep the outline very minimal so the children can design it any way they want. They can go wild with their interpretations.”

Choco Smash – a surprise filled with an assortment of sweets – is another Sugarplum Pastries staple. This year, it makes a comeback in the form of a carved pumpkin, a black cat, and a friendly vampire. It features a wooden mallet for added interactivity.

The line-up likewise includes Cakesicles – a delectable confection coated with mouthwatering fudge. These decadent pops are adorned with eerie chocolate eyeballs, skulls, bones, and ghosts.

Completing the set is a range of four-inch Bento Cakes. These darling minis feature mouthwatering layers of moist chocolate sponge frosted with doodles, more pumpkins, spider webs, and other quirky creatures. Each piece comes in a take-out box.

Chef Lovely is armed with a culinary degree from the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) School of Hotel, Restaurant, and Institution Management (SHRIM) and has honed her skills at the Makati Shangri-La and F1 Hotel Taguig.

She established Sugarplum Pastries in 2011.

Through the years, she has stayed true to her philosophy “no to boring desserts!” and promises to only create the most enticing pastries to celebrate family time.
