Ordering a custom birthday cake does not require you to know baking terms.
IM CAKE’s Saturday baking workshop returns in September.
A birthday cake is not a normal parcel.
Preparing more than 40 breads, cakes and desserts in one day is not mainly about working faster.
Manila is warm most of the year, so birthday cakes do not always need to feel heavy.
A common first-time question is:
If you suddenly need a birthday cake in Manila today, the first question is:
Ordering a birthday cake for the office is different from ordering one for home.
Once a cake leaves the shop, the final challenge is getting it home safely.
Not everyone wants maximum sweetness.
Cut fruit changes faster than whole fruit because more surface area is exposed.
Fruit boxes are simple for one reason: they are already cut, packed and ready to eat.
For Fresh Fruit Week, we used seasonal fruit in three different formats: cakes, desserts and fruit boxes.
A common idea is: more mango = better mango cake.
Fruit cakes are not all the same with a different topping.
Making a fruit birthday cake feel “less sweet” is not only about reducing sugar.
Strawberry birthday cakes can go in three very different directions: fresh and simple, playful for kids, or fully customized.
For a birthday party of around 10 people, the usual question is: Is an 8-inch cake enough, or should I go straight to 10 inches?
If you enjoy coffee drinks for their creamy texture rather than a strong black-coffee taste, richer latte styles may suit you better.
Minimalist cakes often look easier than detailed cakes.
Our coffee-and-scone week was never meant to be only about a limited-time discount.
Not enjoying strong black coffee does not mean milk tea is your only option.
Cake and coffee do not automatically work together just because they are served side by side.
Manila is warm for most of the year, so iced coffee easily becomes an everyday drink.
Two drinks can both be called “latte” and still taste very different.
Opening the coffee bar was a small but meaningful step for IM CAKE.
In 2024, coffee officially became part of the IM CAKE menu.
Americano and latte are two of the easiest coffees to compare when you are ordering for the first time.
Year-end gatherings come in many sizes.
At the end of each year, we like to look back and ask:
A reference photo can make custom cake communication much faster.
Afternoon tea does not need to mean a full table.
The biggest problem with a first custom cake order is usually not choosing the design.
A good scone is not supposed to be simply “dry and hard.”
Parents often start with the cutest design when choosing a birthday cake for a child.
Cream cake, naked cake or fruit-forward mango cake? This guide compares cream level, texture, appearance and occasion.
Fruit and chocolate cakes work for different crowds.
A good kids’ cake balances theme, age, color and flavor.
Bread goes stale for more than one reason.
Strawberries work beautifully in fresh cream cakes, birthday cakes and mixed berry designs.
Fresh cream cakes soften quickly in Manila’s heat.
Year-end is one of the busiest cake periods.
Ube, red bean and coconut breads each have a different flavor profile.
Fresh cream and buttercream differ in sweetness, texture, decorating flexibility and stability.
A good red bean bun depends on three things: balanced sweetness, enough filling and soft, springy bread.
Birthday cake lead times vary by design.
In Manila’s warm weather, mango desserts are best when they stay fresh, light and easy to chill.
Our first dessert-and-milk-tea afternoon tea was less about discounts and more about helping customers find pairings that actually taste good together.
A 6-inch cake usually serves 4–6 people.
IM CAKE expanded beyond celebration cakes with desserts and milk tea made for everyday cravings.
Seasonal menu drops and class dates go out on our social channels and on the counter board.
