Pasig bakery creates "rice cake" inspired by Duterte's birthday

A home-based bakery in Pasig, Nicelybaked, has created a "rice cake" inspired by photos from President Rodrigo Duterte's 76th birthday celebration.

The cake, designed to look like a cup of rice with a candle, is actually a 4x2-inch lunchbox cake with a red velvet chiffon exterior and chocolate ganache filling.

Nicelybaked owner Carlene Junsay was inspired by the viral photo of the President's birthday and challenged herself to recreate the concept as a functional cake.

The "rice cake" is available in red velvet or chocolate flavors and is priced at P450.

Following the viral post of the cake, Junsay has been flooded with orders, requiring her to extend working hours and call for backup for her one-woman operation.
