Red’s Oven: Custom Cakes and Cupcakes Made to Celebrate Life’s Sweetest Moments

Upon opening the box, I immediately noticed the elegant appearance of this Vanilla Butter Chiffon Cake. The top was beautifully adorned with hand-crafted buttercream flowers, intricately designed to resemble a delicate bouquet. The pastel shades of pink, lilac, and ivory gave it a sophisticated and classy vibe, making it a perfect centerpiece for any special occasion.

Before even taking a bite, I could already smell the gentle yet comforting aroma of vanilla and butter—a clear indication of high-quality ingredients. There was no overpowering artificial scent, which assured me of a natural and refined flavor.

The chiffon base was incredibly light, fluffy, and moist—not too airy like a sponge cake, yet not as dense as a pound cake. It had just the right softness that almost melts in your mouth, with a slight springiness that indicated perfect baking.

The buttercream frosting was silky smooth, creamy, and perfectly thick. It wasn’t greasy or overly firm, which is often an issue with some buttercreams. It was soft yet structured, especially in the handcrafted flowers. I was impressed by how well the petals held their intricate shape while remaining creamy and easy to eat.

The base cake had a delicate yet rich vanilla flavor. It wasn’t overly sweet, making it enjoyable without being overwhelming. The buttery and milky undertones added depth to the taste, making it perfect for those who appreciate classic, elegant, and well-balanced cake flavors.

The buttercream had a decadent, buttery taste with just the right amount of sweetness—neither throat-burning nor cloying. The butter used was clearly of high quality, giving a slight caramelized and nutty aftertaste that elevated the overall flavor profile.

Notably, the buttercream wasn’t just pure sugar; it had a creamy and well-balanced flavor that complemented the chiffon cake beautifully. There was also a slight hint of vanilla, which enhanced the harmony of the cake’s flavors.

The flavors of the vanilla butter chiffon and buttercream frosting blended harmoniously—a light and airy chiffon cake paired with a rich, creamy buttercream. The cake-to-frosting ratio was just right, ensuring that every bite was satisfying without feeling too heavy.

Red’s Oven: Where Art Meets Baking Mastery

During the 2020 pandemic, Red found herself craving ube cake but couldn’t find any available, not even on Grab. With no other option, she decided to bake it herself. What started as a simple craving soon turned into a passion—after sharing a photo of the homemade cake online, orders began coming in. Before long, more and more people were requesting custom cakes, marking the beginning of Red’s journey into the world of baking.

Blending artistry with the science of baking, Red, a 24-year-old Fine Arts graduate from the University of Santo Tomas (cum laude), has turned a deep passion for design into a thriving cake business. What sets Red apart is an unwavering dedication to detail, a skill honed through six years of rigorous training in art school. Now, that same artistic precision is reflected in every handcrafted cake and pastry that comes out of Red’s Oven.

Red’s journey into the world of baking wasn’t planned—it was a beautiful fusion of creativity and culinary craftsmanship. Originally focused on traditional forms of art like painting and sculpture, Red discovered a new canvas: cakes. Experimenting with fondant, buttercream, and intricate piping techniques, Red realized that baking was just another way to express artistry—but this time, in a form that people could both admire and enjoy.

What started as a humble online venture—taking orders from close friends and family—quickly flourished into a full-fledged business. Word spread about Red’s uniquely aesthetic and delicious creations, leading to an expanding customer base that appreciates not just the visual appeal but also the meticulous balance of flavors in each dessert.

Red’s Oven is no longer just a small-scale business. With a growing social media presence and an increasing number of repeat customers, Red has built a reputation for cakes that are as stunning as they are scrumptious. The business even caught the attention of Senator Risa Hontiveros, who personally expressed her love for Red’s Oven cupcakes and other personalities are social media star Christian Antolin, Dennis Padilla—a testament to both the quality and appeal of these handcrafted confections.
