Same as cookies above, but not that much. Cupcakes and other baked goodies like cakes in slices and sweet breads are also gifted by people to the ones they like, so you are also a winner if you choose this. Leche flan, pastillas and other sweets are also in the same vein in this category. Like always, word of mouth is your best marketing weapon in promoting your goodies.

Bibingka at Puto Bumbong

I myself never fail to buy these when I go out (happens rarely) and during the holiday season.

You knew this is coming, right? Bibingka and puto bumbong are also the star during Christmas season and if you know how to make these, you will enjoy a nice profit during the holiday. Placement is critical, though and you would have to go near churches and target the people who have just had their Misa de Gallo (Simbang Gabi). Expect low income on Christmas day itself, though.

Pasta (Spaghetti, Pansit Palabok, Carbonara)

Pasta is never absent during Chritmas parties, so you know you will have a nice batch of orders during December.
