CEBU CITY — Cakes and Memories Bakeshop has launched an innovative online ordering system that lets customers upload a cake photo, receive an instant price, and complete their order without waiting for Messenger replies. The feature marks a significant leap for the homegrown bakeshop, which has served Cebu and Cavite since 2000.
From Humble Kitchen to Multi-Branch Success
Founder Janet Caballes established Cakes and Memories in 2000 inside Gardenia Valley Subdivision in Molino 3, Bacoor, Cavite. The first store opened in Bahayang Pagasa a year later, quickly earning a loyal following for its delicious cakes and pastries. Steady growth followed as word spread about the bakeshop's quality and affordability.
In 2010, the business expanded to Cebu City, beginning a new chapter in its journey. What started as a small kitchen operation with help from friends and family has grown into a trusted name in custom cakes. The founders credit their success to an unwavering commitment to quality and customer convenience.
AI Tool Revolutionizes Cake Ordering
The new online platform eliminates the tedious back-and-forth messaging that often frustrates customers. Users simply upload an image of any cake design, and the system redirects them to an AI tool where they select size, icing, and height. The price updates instantly, allowing immediate checkout for delivery or pickup.
This technology provides instant quotes for custom and decorated cakes. It also offers detailed explanations of design elements such as toppers, drips, and macarons. If a customer's photo contains elements the bakeshop cannot produce, the system flags it and suggests the closest feasible alternative before payment.
Streamlined Process with Clear Lead Times
The ordering process follows three simple steps. Customers upload a cake design image, choose their preferred specifications, and see the price instantly before adding to cart. Delivery is available through Lalamove across Mega Cebu, though motorcycle deliveries are not permitted.
Typical lead time ranges from two to five days depending on design complexity. Rush options remain subject to schedule and intricacy. Customers may tweak designs after uploading, with prices updating automatically. Pickup is available at the Cebu branch located in Treehouse Building along R. Aboitiz Street, beside Calda Pizza and near Baseline.
Celebrating Life's Sweetest Moments
The bakeshop offers an extensive selection of themed cakes for every occasion. Best sellers include the Anniversary Cake at ₱4,499 and the 60th Birthday Cake at ₱1,399. Playful designs like the Pickleball Cake, Baby Bear Shower Cake, and Disco Cake add variety for customers seeking unique celebrations.
Other popular options include the Whimsical Girl Cake, Under the Sea Cake, and minimalist designs. Free delivery applies to orders of ₱5,000 and above.
