Ordering cakes online has become such a convenient way to celebrate milestones and send love to family and friends. With so many shops to choose from, I usually prefer ordering from smaller local sellers rather than big commercialized chains. In my experience, smaller businesses often provide more attentive service, offer unique and creative options, and I like knowing that I’m supporting local entrepreneurs at the same time.
I’ve actually known about Pasteleria Manila since they first went viral online, and I had been wanting to try them for a while. When I found out that they had a branch near my intended recipient, I thought it was finally the perfect opportunity to order. I was genuinely excited, both to support a local shop I’d admired from afar and to surprise a loved one with something special.
Unfortunately, my experience didn’t turn out the way I hoped — and I think it’s worth sharing here for anyone considering ordering from them.
