Filipino-Inspired Sweets

Inspired by my heritage & my love for baking, I started incorporating my favorite Filipino flavors such as ube, mango, and buko pandan into desserts like cookies, French Macarons and cakes.  I partnered with a Filipino bakery in 2014, I was able to focus on this niche and offer my goods to the public.  People who tried my goods began inquiring about larger orders, and the rest was history!

FILIPINO-INSPIRED CRINKLES & UBE CAKES

Crinkle Cookies are soft & flavorful cookies rolled in powdered sugar and baked until perfectly chewy. These are scratch-baked and made from my original recipe! My signature Filipino flavors are ube purple yam, buko pandan coconut, calamansi lemon.  I also make red velvet with white chocolate chips.  See our MENU for current pricing. 

Decorated Ube Cakes & Cupcakes– A special celebration calls for a decorated cake that not only looks amazing, but tastes amazing as well!  My ube cakes are made with scratch-made ube halaya baked in, and filled with ube and chopped macapuno (young coconut strings), or halo halo buttercream.  The buttercream on the outside can be in different custom colors and textures such as: smooth, rustic, or an extra charge for ruffles, petals, or rosettes.  Please note, this is for informational purposes only.  We are currently not offering custom cake or cupcake orders at this time.
