MAKATI CITY — Artisanal cake maker Hearts and Bells officially opened its newest retail location at Glorietta 1 on August 7, 2026. The new kiosk brings handcrafted buttercream flower cakes and everyday celebration treats to the heart of Makati’s central business district.
A Sweet Addition to Makati’s Food Scene
Makati’s office workers, shoppers, and residents now have a convenient new destination for premium cakes. The kiosk is located on the second floor, near Yoshinoya, inside Glorietta 1. It is designed to serve walk-in customers who want a beautiful dessert without the need for advance custom orders.
The brand’s arrival in Makati reflects its continued growth across Metro Manila. Hearts and Bells has built a loyal following by focusing on visually stunning buttercream floral designs. The new location offers the same signature quality in a fast, accessible retail format.
Artisan Cakes Crafted with Passion
Founder Marita Laddaran began her cake journey with a decorating class in 1997 and later earned a professional pastry chef credential from Vancouver’s Northwest Culinary Academy. For more than two decades, the brand specialized in wedding, debut, and milestone cakes. In 2020, it shifted to creating tall buttercream flower cakes for everyday moments.
Each cake is crafted as a piece of edible art. The bakery’s commitment to handmade decoration sets it apart from mass-produced desserts. Customers can expect cakes that not only taste good but also serve as a centerpiece for any celebration.
Signature Flavors for Every Celebration
The kiosk offers a rotating selection of bestsellers. Fans can choose from the Blossom Caramel Cake, Sunrise Mango Cake, Midnight Mocha Cake, Rose Garden Chocolate Cake, and the beloved Ube Cloud Cake. Each flavor pairs a distinct cake base with complementary fillings and frostings.
The variety ensures there is something for every palate. Whether craving something fruity, chocolatey, or distinctly Filipino like ube, the menu delivers. The cakes are available for immediate walk-in purchase, making last-minute celebrations easy.
Convenient Access for City Dwellers
The new location is positioned as a quick pickup and impulse-buy destination. Customers can grab a whole cake or a slice during a lunch break or after work. The kiosk also supports online ordering with store pickup, as well as delivery through popular platforms like foodpanda and GrabFood.
This multi-channel approach makes Hearts and Bells more accessible than ever. Shoppers in Makati no longer need to travel far to enjoy the bakery’s signature creations. The opening brings a taste of artisanal indulgence into the daily rhythm of city life.
A Legacy of Buttercream Artistry
Hearts and Bells continues to celebrate its core philosophy of treating every customer as a reason to celebrate. The Glorietta opening marks another chapter in the brand’s story of combining craft and convenience. It is a welcome addition to the thriving food scene at Ayala Malls.
