Eileen Formanes, Founder/Head Baker of New York City’s Bibingka-esk, brings her healthy treat to her home country with one thought in mind:” I want to share my creation to the folks in the Philippines. Some of my customers in the US have commented that there were too many cupcakes all over the place and my desserts are just the kind of unique delicacies they needed to taste—the variety I also want my home folk to taste.

Filipino food in New York City seemed to always take a back seat in Asian cuisine.  Filipino desserts were practically unknown.  She wanted to raise the profile for Filipino food by creating her own rendition of the bibingka. She brings home her success in New York by giving Pinoys a taste of her specialty bibingkas.

For many generations, the bibingka has been synonymous with Filipinos, both here and abroad, with celebrating the holidays. And, for one Filipina raised in New York City, it was this fond memory that was the basis for her own spin on a classic.

Here’s Eileen Formanes invites you to visit them!
