The Story
It all started with Clarisse Cucueco’s brother’s cravings for the ube cheese pandesal that was starting to become popular online. He couldn’t get some since he was in London at the time. When he was finally home, Clarisse urged her brother to bake his own ube cheese pastry, and ended up doing it herself with the help of their mom who took care of the homemade ube halaya.
After perfecting a batch for her brother, Clarisse also sent some to her friends and family, and it soon became a business. From a persistent craving to the meticulous baking process, Rare Bakes was born!
The Specialty
What makes Rare Bakes’ Ube Cheese Pandesal treats different from the typical ones is that they top the breads with their signature “milky cheese crumble” instead of breadcrumbs. They also make their own ube halaya from scratch using pure purple yam.
Besides their first pandesal creation, they also added a new flavor that will make strawberry lovers blush with joy– the Strawberry Cream Cheese Pandesal. Check out some photos of their products below:
