About Us
I come from a long line of Filipina bakers. Growing up I was in the sidelines watching the women in my family spend hours on details and discussing the best way to create designs and bake by trial and error. Gadgets and ingredients were scarce, so baking and decorating was done with such intent and purpose. Being the first generation to live in the U.S. I draw my inspiration from them and from my son who will be hearing stories about his heritage.
About the Baker
Hi there! My name is Angela Aquino , and I grew up in the Philippines surrounded by cakes and delicacies made by my family. I bake from the heart...something I learned from my mom. I am thoughtful about the occasion, and then I put something together that I enjoyed making and hopefully you enjoy looking at and eating! I have a background as an educator. As a teacher I had my students constantly creating things with their hands. That made everyone including myself make almost any challenging information fun and accessible to students. As a principal I found myself volunteering to help with some of my teachers’ bulletin boards. That was a great way for me to express my creative spirit and connect with the teachers. And finally I could not resist following my grandma (lola) and mom's passion for baking! I began looking at old pictures of my childhood in the Philippines and reminisced about women in my family and the cakes they made. I then realized...I wanted to do the same.
I am still an educator and now can proudly add, “and also a baker!”
