I love how all the ladies exude a particular kind of warmth. Coming from a heart who loves to feed people.

Dimpy's Kitchen - baking was her hobby and love language which turns into a successful business. Estrella's - they don't want to expand they're branches because they want to focus on one kitchen to maintain good quality. Cuerva's - even at her 70s she is still working hard and they're employees stayed for decades. Do you see what they all have in common? They all love what they are doing and take pride in it. No wonder why they are so successful.

you realize, they also all had generational wealth in common. You don't get an MBA from a university in America just from love and pride. It's easy to love what you're doing when it's already successful and has been making your family money since the 40's or the 60's.

@@josephbernados1649 yep most of them look like they come form generational wealth. umpisa pa lang, yung Dimpy's alam mong alta na. not to take away from their passion though and how good their products are, pero just being realistic. they can even survive without the cake businesses TBH

Pero may kulang sa sinabi mo. All those featured here have the RIGHT CONNECTIONS. I'm pretty sure there are alot of other talented chefs and home cooks that can do the same but can never get the same chance because they don't have the network. Yang "word of mouth" na yan ang pinakamahirap at delikado. If you notice, all those "word of mouth" and initial tastes were done in those rich people's soiree and party gatherings which none of the ordinary juan can be exposed to. Hobbies can only be successful to a certain extent. You still need marketing and connections to sustain that success.

Very touching when Dimpy’s daughter went home, give employment to the Filipinos. Sana lahat ng old rich instead of working abroad is just establish business here and provide employment

Their family owns two other consumer businesses not counting a law firm. They are already providing employment even without the cake business.

Our family favorites! Dimpy’s for their much copied but never equaled Frozen Brazo and their underrated Ensaymada. Estrel’s for their iconic Caramel Cake and Almond Cookies. Cuerva’s for their unforgettable Honey Cake and while the Mango Torte is good but Dulcelin’s is way so much better. You should also have featured Yulo’s - their Strawberry Shortcake is legendary.

Thank you for the tips.

Estrel's has been a staple in our family during special occasions. Never nagbago ang quality. Totoo na it's not very sweet kaya hahanap hanapin mo, hindi ka mauumay. Very perfect when paired with coffee! Estrel's will always be the original caramel cakes for us. ❤

The ladies themselves are HIGH CLASS. 😊❤ I want to try their cakes; It looks so good. ❤

Featr really promoting real Pinoy gems. Really appreciate the cultural videos ❤

Estrel’s caramel cake is iconic. Not sweet, not too heavy, just perfectly made every time. Each cake is made to order, tho sometimes you might get lucky and they might have some cakes on hand for emergency orders. My aunts that have lived abroad for decades now always request Estrel’s when they come home. Same with us during brithdays and other special occasions.

Me and my family we're impressed with Dimpys cake. More than decade ago a client gave us this chocolate caramel cake. Grabe taste expensive and incomparable yet affordable..From that day on Dimpys cake is part of every special occcasion we have. And we're giving it as a gift to our families and friends too

Estrel’s has been a go to cake for our family. From my lola to my mama and to me ❤ i love the flowers and intricate icing always

I wish Costa Brava, Yulo's and San Mateo Rizal's Primablend will also get a feature. Those bakeshops transcended generations too!

Sorry to hear that, but best of luck!

We live near Estrel's and it's our go-to cake for birthdays and Christmas Eve. And New Year celebration won't be complete without a Cuerva's Honey cake.

As a kid, remember getting cake from Estrella’s in their old Recto “bakeshop” with my mother. It was in an old building, and at first I was scared of the dark stairs leading to their spot. But when you get to their floor, the room was spacious and clean, you’d see the boxes of cakes waiting to be picked, a glimpse of the kitchen/baking area maybe(?). I still love their cake and wish I can eat them again.

I became a bit sad remembering how I used to help my Lola make cakes - just for the family, and be around preparing dishes as well. She inspired me to cook. Her recipes were written on sheets of a chinese calendar. In my 50's now but still remember how she would meticulously clean the utensils and pans and measure ingredients. Thank you Featr for this video.❤

Love this video. These mom and pop businesses are not that profit-oriented. Love how they approach business, quality comes first. Old-school yes, but quality is the ambassador of their business.

Nakakatuwa, every single one of them are really passionate and caring about their customers. They really want to give the best and show love through their cakes.

Great job FEATR for shining a spotlight on our local food scene. I'm discovering places and products I otherwise would not have known, especially family-owned businesses with history. They do it out of love and keep the operation small to maintain the quality. I'll be checking them out next time I'm in town.

Proudly Pinoy! I am an Estrel's fan. Happy to know Cuervo's. Thank you for this beautiful video.

First time to watch a FEATR video. Loved it! No distracting music, clean cinematography, and straightforward and relevant interviews! Subscribing now :)

A cake is a very important part of a family meal especially during special occasions. Thank you for this. I just came from Estrel’s and will be trying Dimpy’s and Cuerva soon 😊

Hope Featr would come up with a book with all the documenataries (food & travel/culture) you've shown in this chanel.

I was introduced to Estrel's by my friend when I was in college. That cake is so delicious! Whn go for vacation in Philippines I would try Dimpy's and Cuervas as well.

Such a good feature! I love learning about the history and hearing how passionate each of them are. Just looking at these beautiful yummy creations makes me hungry too~ Wish I could have some of that chocolate caramel cake right now 😋

The feature on these cakes has brought back memories from when I had my first slice of cake from my hometown, and how as a family we have enjoyed it and the occasion we were celebrating. Needless to say, I am looking forward to making new memories with family and friends to a slice of heavenly pastry.

I love, love how these businesses started off as home based side gigs. In Canada, where I am from, not possible. Strict rules about production and safety of food for the public. No home cooking. Period. Food must be prepared in a commercially inspected & licensed kitchen, by a cook/baker with at minimum, a food safety handling certificate. Your business must be licensed by the city as well.

thank you featr for this video. I love how you presented the stories behind each company. It's like listening to a tour guide explain the history of something during field trip.

Love Estrels!!! Compliments to Gina, Joy and everyone there.

Ang galing ng topic. Metro Manila has everything ❤

Really love the new content of featr featuring popular filipino foods

I always love Estrel's birthday cakes since my elder sister would always ordered there and has been yearly practice ...love the caramel coated ....❤❤❤

omg thank u featr for letting us know this..ang dami ko pang hndi alam sa pilipinas ❤

Very touching stories. From humble beginnings to well-deserved success.

Awee! I love Estrel's! 😮❤🎉 Most Solid Cake I tried so far! 🫶🙌👏👏☝️👌 The Best! It's been a long time when I ate Estrel's 😢

you forgot Becky's Kitchen near De La Salle University in Manila

Thank you for sharing these - truly delicious bakeshops are rare in the Philippines - and I mean the not too sweet types

Basta delicious and with love and passion imong baking or cooking. People will talk and recommend. I strongly agree on this. "Word of mouth"

quality talaga lagi yung vids niyo featr, always satisfied 🤗❤️

i tried estrels once in a friends party and fell in love with it. di pako naka bili dyan personally thats my dream talaga to get one. hayyy hopefully soon

Dimpy's banana walnut muffins are sooo good! We tasted one at Manila Polo Club way back in 2015, I think. And since then has had them as part of our Christmas fare.

It's my first time hearing about Dimpy's Kitchen, I'll definitely try their cake.

Wow! These cakes looks so yummy! I will try all these 3 bakeshops when I go home next year.

I like the last two women, very humble. I will try all of them when I go back home.

my wosh i hope someday i can buy one to them for now i cannot afford but soon hopefully i can buy one for my mothers birthday i always wish i can have one specially this holiday season this will be a great present for my parent❤❤❤ keep inspiring by this succesful filipino bakers.

Dimpy's brazo is a must try 💯

Brassa (spell?) de Mercedes was my favorite cake during my wonderful years when I was posted by the U.N. to the Philippines. Our admin officer at the U.N. was a cake gourmet and introduced me - and our whole office -- to the best of the best! Glorious merienda, day after day!

Estrels! Always our go-to caramel cake!

Oh my missing again Philippines...When I was still working in Makati I had this boss who is always up to date where to order yummy cakes and these 3 really are her go to brands...my mouth's watering now 😋😋😋

Super loved Dimpy's chocolate cake. I really don't like dry cakes, especially when it comes to chocolate cake. True enough, it is extra moist and the caramel sauce that comes with it gives it that extra oomph. Absolutely delicious.

This is quality content 🥹🥹🥹🫶 I’m amaze sa effort 💯 pure passion

Years ago I have the privilege of accompanying a church mate to visit Estrel's cake at Recto, Manila. Ang galing Ng cake decorators. Just last year another church mate order a Church Anniversary cake. I boast around that it was the best cake for me

I really like their simplicity.All of them

I used to buy estrels cakes at laperal bldg in recto the taste hasnt changed in decades was introduced to it by a friend who worked at manila city hall brings back fond memories

Kudos featr and everyone behind the scenes. Ganda ng storytelling

The power of word of mouth ❤

Love this series❤❤❤❤

I love everything about this video ❤ this inspired me to do what I love all the more.. baking. ✨❣️💖

Estrel's-our favorite caramel cake ❤

I love Dimpy's!!!! Im a fan!!!!

This episode .....WOW ❤

Yung hobbies talaga yung usually nagiging best business ideas. Kasi may drive ka eh, to really make it stand out. More than just the drive for profit.

I wish you featr'ed Costa Brava rin. I looove their marshmallow cake. So old skul.

I first tried of Dimpy’s chocolate caramel cake when my brother brought home one from work which was given to him as a bday present. It was really good! Sad they no longer have a shop at Molito. But would want to taste it again

Beautiful episode ❤

Yulo's Strawberry shortcake is the bomb❤

i love the old fashion baking ❤❤❤

The best .memories of past and present and fut😢ure

If I may correct, Joy and Gina's surname is misspelled as Navarra. It should be Navarro. Anyway, Estrel's caramel cake is our family's favorite. Their cake is not too sweet for us seniors to enjoy. 😊

Thank you for sharing ...🙏🇵🇭❤️👼

I'm a kinda surprised (ok, maybe slightly shocked) that there's no mention of COSTA BRAVA. They've been around for decades, and their Caramel Cake is still SOOOOO GOOD! ❤

I miss home badly especially during Christmas

Costa Brava is also a favorite cakes ❤

Wow! That was beautiful!🇵🇭🎂🍰 💕

Watching this is making me hungry at 3 in the night

My 18th birthday cake decades ago was from Estrel's (Recto). Though it was not a caramel cake but it was delicious as well.

Estrels ❤❤❤ the ambience the people ❤😊

Love this!

Dimpy’s!!!!!!! I miss that! ❤

I love cakes. Wanna try them all. ❤

nostalgic cakes ☹️🤍

Truly masarap ang estrels cake di sya matamis❤ sana maulit mulii❤️😊👌

Oh my! I miss Estrels Oatmeal cookies.

I didn't like cakes until i tasted Estrel's. My gosh. Wish i could taste it now but I'm living here in Visayas huhu

Yes! Alam ko yang cuerva mangoe torte! Sa dasma vill sa makati and sa old ancestral home sa san lorenzo makati
