Where to Buy Bento Cakes in Quezon City to Celebrate Any Occasion

Any celebration calls for a cake. Some like it simple, while others prefer to personalize it to go with the occasion — like a friend’s birthday or a pop group’s debut anniversary. If you've seen the trendy minimalist cakes on social media, you'll be glad to know that they also come in small sizes called bento cakes.

The word "bento" is derived from a Southern Song slang term which means convenient. What makes bento cakes popular is they're small enough you can eat them by yourself or store them easily inside the fridge (without worrying about occupying too much space) if you can't eat them in one sitting. Convenient indeed!

Given the pandemic situation, we can’t always meet with our friends or gather as a large group so why not celebrate at home with a small cake? Buying one for yourself when you’re just craving isn’t also a bad idea. Here's a list where you can order bento cakes in Quezon City.

Kaibakes

Kaibakes is a cake shop located in Cubao, Quezon City. Known for their aesthetic minimalist and bento cakes, they’re one of the many small businesses in 2020 that gained a following when they started.

They take their bento cakes to the next level by offering them in bear-shaped boxes. At a price of P400 (carrot flavor) and P450 (dark chocolate), you can choose whether to go with a cute bear face or a short dedication. There are three options for the bear’s color and its smiley mouth, and you can add decorations (in buttercream) such as hair, flowers, hearts, or sprinkles.

To order, you can visit their website at kaibakes.com. Price starts at P250 for a simple design or at P300 for a heart-shaped one. Customers need to take note that the price is only a reservation fee. An additional fee (if any) will be added depending on the final design.
