Far less sugar
American buttercream is roughly half sugar by weight. Mine is not. If you have ever found a supermarket cake inedibly sweet, this is the fix.
Asian-style cakes · made to order
Asian cakes, not the American kind
Light chiffon sponge, a fraction of the sugar, and flavours you grew up with — matcha, black sesame, taro, osmanthus. Made to order in a registered home kitchen.
What makes these different
Chiffon sponge, not butter cake
Light, airy, slightly springy — the texture of a bakery cake in Taipei or Shanghai, not a dense American layer cake.
Flavours from home
Matcha, black sesame, taro, red bean, osmanthus, pandan, oolong, durian. Real ingredients, not syrups.

Please read before ordering
These cakes are made under California cottage food rules, which do not allow fresh dairy cream. That changes one important thing:
Buttercream, not fresh cream
If you are picturing the soft fresh-cream cakes from an Asian bakery — the kind with fruit between the layers — that is not what this is. I use a light, low-sugar buttercream instead. It holds up better in the car and keeps for days, but it is a different texture. I would rather you know now than be surprised.
Things I cannot make
- Fresh whipped cream cakes
- Fresh fruit fillings or decoration
- Cream cheese frosting, cheesecake, tiramisu
- Custard or salted egg yolk / pork floss fillings
- Ganache drip
Allergens
Made in a home kitchen that also handles wheat, eggs, dairy, nuts, and sesame. Tell me about allergies and I will be straight with you about what I can do safely.
