As the quarantine stretches on, we’ve all used our ample time indoors as an opportunity to hone our skills in the kitchen. For entrepreneurial home bakers, this has turned out to be a time to craft creative desserts as an alternative source of income.
So if you find yourself craving for some baked goodies while you’re WFH, support small online bakery businesses when you can. We’ve rounded up 10 online bakeshops in Metro Manila – selling cookies, Korean-inspired minimalist cakes, baked macs, and more – that can deliver straight to your home.

Korean minimalism is a trend these days – just look at the vlogs of popular Korean YouTubers showing this distinct style characterized by washed pastel hues in their fashion and makeup.
This minimalism translates even to baked goods, such as the cakes of this local Korean-inspired online bakeshop Sweet Myni.
