Celebration Cakes
Some things are better said in cream.
Choose the cake. Choose the flavor. Then write the words yourself — hand-piped by our bakers on the morning it is made, and carried to the table still cool from the kitchen.

01 — Where the cake came from
On the mornings of my children’s birthdays I would delight them with personally decorated cakes.
Mary Grace Dimacali
Everything else came after the cake.
Before the ensaymada, before the eleven kiosks, before the café your family drives across town for — there was a mother decorating a cake before her children woke up.
That is still the only brief the cake kitchen works to. Baked to order. Made fresh from scratch. Premium ingredients, no artificial flavors, no preservatives. And finished by hand, so it looks like somebody loved you enough to do it themselves.
- 1983
- A fascination with dough that started in childhood, carried on into motherhood.
- 1986
- Twelve months of baking school in the US, then years of Sunday-lunch taste tests at home.
- 1994
- A first bazaar, five children in tow: Ensaymada and Cheese Rolls.
- 2002
- The first little store, so families could take Christmas home all year round.
- 2006
- Four years and eleven kiosks later — the first Café Mary Grace.
- Today
- The Goodness of Home, on a cake stand, with your own words on top.
02 — The classics
Eight flavors.
One of them is theirs.
Every classic is baked to order and made fresh from scratch, then finished with a hand-piped dedication in your own words. Round or rectangular, for three people or forty-six.

03 — The dedication
Write it.
We’ll pipe it.
The dedication is not an add-on. It is the reason a Mary Grace cake gets photographed before anyone is allowed to cut it. Three words on a mini, six on a regular — choose them like you mean them.
04 — Special garden designs
Nine gardens,
piped in cream.
Hand-piped cream flowers — nothing stiff, nothing to scrape off the plate. Choose a garden, then choose the flavor underneath it.
Available on mini, tall mini, regular, tall regular and all three rectangular sizes. Online store prices from ₱449.
05 — The classic lace
For the ones who want it
quiet and perfect.
Beautiful lace trimmings, a clean white field, and your dedication in the middle of it. The cake for anniversaries, for lolo and lola, for the office send-off where nobody wants to be the loud one.

09 — Before you order
The honest answers.
How early do I have to order?
There is a two-day lead time on all orders. During peak periods this may increase to three days. If the celebration is this weekend, order now rather than tomorrow.
Can I buy a Celebration Cake inside the café?
All Celebration Cakes are exclusive to web orders, and the full range of customization — the design, the flavor, the size and the hand-piped dedication — is exclusive to website orders.
How long can the dedication be?
A maximum of three words on mini cakes and six words on regular cakes. Add the wording in the Notes section when you check out, and it is piped by hand.
Which flavors cannot take a garden, lace or dedication?
Mango Bene, Limone Santi, Toasted Almond Sans Rival, Apple Pie, Chocolate Mousse and Tiramisu are not available for the special garden design, lace design or dedication service. They can still be ordered in the standard design, without a dedication.
