CAKES NOWADAYS HAVE TAKEN A TURN FROM SWEET TO FUNNY AND HERE’S WHERE TO FIND THEM

The growing popularity of minimalist cakes has people taking it further by turning a blank frosting canvas with funny, snarky remarks and even going the lengths of not-so-sweet messages, a huge departure from the traditional dedications and generic candied writings on cakes we have been so used to seeing in the past. Here's where you can find them.

/ 8 October 2020

When you think of cakes, the first thing that comes to mind is how fluffy, light, and moist it is—and how it marks every single momentous occasion for almost anyone. In whatever event in life, there’s a huge chance a cake will be involved. Whether to celebrate a birthday, say congratulations, announce a promotion, wish good luck on a retiring colleague and even propose to your love. A cake, of course, is (almost) everyone’s favorite event highlight.

Recently, we have seen a shift in people’s taste levels when it comes to getting their ordered confections for a given occasion. The growing popularity of minimalist cakes has people taking it further by turning a blank frosting canvas with funny, snarky remarks and even going the lengths of not-so-sweet messages, a huge departure from the traditional dedications and generic candied writings we have been so used to seeing in the past.

Such is the case in one of our favorite cake shops online, Pasteleria Manila. Known for brazo bars, mamon bitz, broas sticks, pure ube halaya cake, red bean cake, caramel cake in tray/cup, has since made cake-buying all the more fun and adventurous by giving an edgy twist to your frosty treats. And they are not the only one.

Sometimes, what better way to get things off your chest than disguise it in confection perfection? Here are some shops you might want to tap as your sweet accomplice and the possibilities of messages you can choose to write on your cake:
