What’s the sweetest way to show your mom some love this Mother’s Day? You can go for the usual bouquet of flowers, but that would be cliché. Maybe some sugar for a literal sweet gift? Cookies would be too simple; and cupcakes are too minor league for a day as big as this. How about a cake? And not just any cake – a custom-made cake. Go all out on the sweetness and order a bespoke cake for the number one woman in your life.
If you’re looking for the crème de la crème of bespoke cakes in Manila then LA Wine & Dine has got you covered. These cake shops offer premium, made-to-order cakes of all kinds. Ranging from rustic naked cakes to glossy mirror cakes; there’s definitely one that’ll fit your mom’s sweet tooth.
Naked Patisserie
Inspired by the natural scenery of his hometown, Christian Marc Jacobs of Naked Patisserie creates his cakes with a principle of simplicity drawing from memories of beaches and mountains back in his hometown in Florida and (later) Georgia. The Crown (pictured above), a 2-tier naked cake topped with florals, is a perfect example of Jacobs’ brand of cake design— simple, rustic, and rooted in nature.
While Naked Patisserie has made a name for itself in the wedding cake game, ordering one for Mother’s Day will surely be made with as much craftsmanship as their grand cakes.
