Red Ribbon Bakeshop Offers Unique Taste Of Philippines In Pinellas

PINELLAS PARK, FL — For those with a sweet tooth, Red Ribbon Bakeshop in Pinellas Park offers an array of sweet Filipino-style baked goods to satisfy every craving.

Red Ribbon Bakeshop's signature baked goods are now available in Florida following the opening of the company's first Florida bakery in November, its 34th store in the United States.

Located at 4053 Park Blvd. N, the new Red Ribbon Bakeshop is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

While Red Ribbon is best known for its selection of crafted cakes, it also features a line-up of pastries that can be enjoyed any time.

Best sellers include:

• Mango Supreme Cake – The dessert that put Red Ribbon on the map. This signature product is made with the Philippines’ best mangoes, which many consider to be the sweetest in the world. It features three layers of moist white chiffon cake filled with white cream and a golden, mango-filled glaze. It is finished with additional mango chunks and topped with a maraschino cherry.
• Ube Overload Cake – This iconic Filipino confection is known for its vibrant purple hue. Its unique coloring comes from its star ingredient: real Philippine ube halaya, or purple yam, which is a native root crop that is a sweeter and more colorful version of taro. The cake is finished with a white cream frosting and bright purple ube cake crumbs.
• Yema Caramel Cake – This Filipino favorite is a soft, moist white chiffon filled covered with yema (Philippine custard) caramel filling and finished with toasted cashew nuts.
• Butter Mamon – This pastry provides the perfect combination of moist chiffon and 100 percent butter for a melt-in-your-mouth treat. It’s the all-time favorite of loyal Red Ribbon fans.
• Cheesy Ensaimada – Red Ribbon’s signature pastry offers soft, moist bread topped with butter, sugar and cheesy deliciousness for the perfect sweet and savory flavor combination.
• Chicken Empanada – This savory pastry starts with a flavorful dough that is generously filled with chicken and a unique blend of spices. It is then deep-fried to a crisp golden brown.

For those who want to treat their taste buds to a unique twist on more familiar flavors, like chocolate and mocha, Red Ribbon offers several stand-out options including:

• Black Forest Cake – This cake features layers of liqueur-moistened chocolate cake, brimming with maraschino cherries and cream, rich chocolate shavings and chocolate curls.
• Mocha Flan – The perfect combination of cake and custard, this rich mocha chiffon cake is topped with creamy leche flan.
• Choco Mocha Crunch – Brimming with both chocolate and coffee flavors, this chocolate chiffon cake is filled with honeycomb candy in every layer; finished with rich mocha cream and topped with more honeycomb candy and chocolate shavings.

“Red Ribbon’s delicious cakes and pastries are what make holidays, family gatherings and special
occasions feel complete for many of our Filipino customers,” said Agnes Briones, business unit head of Red Ribbon Bakeshop. “We love knowing that our delicious treats play even a small role in bringing people together, and we are excited to bring our unique take on traditional Filipino bakery favorites to Tampa Bay’s close-knit Filipino community, as well as introduce curious newcomers to our delicious offerings.”
