Could you tell us a little about who you are, what you do, and who you serve?

Pinky's Bakeshop has been a beloved part of many people’s celebrations over the years, thanks to Phingky’s amazing creations. As the new owner, I’m still in the process of building my portfolio as both the head chef and leader. While I’ve spent the last 10 years in the culinary industry, I’m relatively new to being a business owner, operating a bakery and being in the wedding industry. What remains constant, however, is my dedication to detail and my perfectionist mindset, which I believe is what keeps me constantly striving to improve and provide the best possible experience for our clients. 

At Pinky’s Bakeshop, we specialize in custom cakes and desserts that feature unique flavors, often with an Asian-inspired twist. Growing up in a Filipino-Chinese household, I’ve been inspired to incorporate these flavors into our offerings. We cater to anyone with a sweet tooth or those seeking a high-quality, creative dessert experience, where every design and flavor is crafted with care and attention to detail.

What services do you offer?

We offer a variety of services, including custom cakes and wedding cakes, dessert tables, cupcakes, and other sweet treats for all types of celebrations. To help couples make the perfect choice, we provide tasting consultations where you can sample a selection of cake flavors and desserts before finalizing your decision. Additionally, we have a storefront on Osborne, where you can stop by anytime to enjoy our treats.

What do you enjoy most about working in the wedding industry and serving couples on their special day?

So far, the best part is definitely seeing the joy and excitement on couples' faces when they see their cake for the first time. Wedding cakes are often a centerpiece of the celebration, and being part of that experience (sometimes even just through photos) is incredibly fulfilling. I love knowing that the treats we create not only taste amazing but also play a role in making their wedding day unforgettable.

What do you think is the most important consideration when couples are choosing a bakery for their wedding?

The most important consideration is a combination of quality and personalization. Couples should look for a bakery that understands their vision and can bring it to life with attention to detail. Taste is, of course, key—so it’s vital to choose a bakery that uses high-quality ingredients and offers flavors that gives them joy. Trust and communication are also essential to ensure that everything is just as they envisioned.

What is the ideal timeline for couples to book your services in advance of their wedding day?

We recommend booking at least 6 months in advance, especially during peak wedding season. This allows plenty of time for consultations, design discussions, and tastings, as well as ensuring availability. We love working with couples early on so we can fine-tune every detail and ensure the cake and desserts are exactly what they want.

What's the best piece of advice you would offer to couples planning their wedding?

My best advice is to enjoy the process and not get too caught up in perfection. There are so many moving parts when planning a wedding, but the focus should always be on celebrating your love. Don’t be afraid to lean on your vendors for support and advice—they’re there to help bring your vision to life. And, of course, remember to savor every moment!

Is there a wedding trend or design idea you're particularly excited about right now?

I’m really excited about the trend of minimalist, elegant cakes featuring unique textures, such as smooth buttercream with artistic touches like metallic accents or hand-painted designs. On the other end of the spectrum, there’s also a fun trend of quirky cakes with unexpected shapes and flowers that seem to pop in all directions. It’s wonderful to see couples embracing bold flavors and creative combinations, as it allows for truly one-of-a-kind wedding cakes. 

How do you stand out?

What sets us apart is our commitment to both experience and flavor. We strive to make every visit to our shop feel warm and personal, leaving you with the sense that you've not only found a bakery, but a friend. We also prioritize using the finest ingredients and crafting unique flavors, ensuring that our cakes not only look stunning but taste incredible, offering our clients the best of both worlds.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

To all the couples we've had the pleasure of working with, or will work with in the future, I want to express how truly honored we are to be a part of such a special day. We understand the significance of your wedding, and we approach every cake and dessert with the utmost care, knowing it reflects the joy and importance of the occasion. Our goal is to guide you through the process and support you every step of the way, so you can feel confident in every choice you make.
