by Niño Angelo Comsti February 12, 2025 Is food the sixth love language? I do believe so. It acts as an unspoken and unwritten agent to express our joy, concern, support, and love. And it can be expressed in many ways—from cooking your soon-to-give-birth partner a dish she’s madly craving, to sneakily finding out and buying your boyfriend’s favorite cake as a surprise. The heartfelt intentions behind the food make them a lot more satisfying. Here are some that can definitely deliver the romance. Rose Cake from Flour Pot @flourpotph Rose and lychee are two flavors that have been proven many times to be a great match, such as in the case of the Pierre Hermé Ispahan macaron. Another delicious validation is chef Rhea SyCip’s latest offering, a rose and lychee shortcake composed of rosewater sponge and lychee whipped cream. She took inspiration from the City of Love, Paris. “This cake is the perfect marriage of the East and West,” she says.
