Red Ribbon Bakeshop, Inc., the Philippines-founded bakery that offers a unique array of sweet and savory baked goods, will celebrate its 38^th store in the U.S. with the grand opening of its fourth location in San Diego, California, on Saturday, September 24, 2022. The new Red Ribbon will be situated within the city's lively Otay Ranch Town Center mall (2015 Birch Road), a dynamic, open-air retail destination just minutes from downtown San Diego that offers a sophisticated mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment to both residents and visitors.

Red Ribbon specializes in offering delicious, superior-tasting baked goods that you won't find anywhere else. While it is best known for its beautifully crafted cakes – a special occasion "must have" for many customers – Red Ribbon also features a mouth-watering line-up of both sweet and savory pastries that can be enjoyed every day.

For curious first-timers who haven't yet treated themselves to the deliciousness of Red Ribbon, here are some of the brand's best-selling items that are sure to satisfy, no matter what you're craving:

Shareable Cakes

• Mango Supreme Cake – The dessert that put Red Ribbon on the map. This signature product is made with the Philippines' best mangoes, considered to be the sweetest in the world. It features three layers of moist white chiffon cake filled with cream and a golden, mango-filled glaze; it is topped with a generous amount of mango chunks and 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 (purple yam), a flavor that has gained mainstream popularity in recent years. The cake is finished with beautiful white cream frosting rosettes and bright purple ube cake crumbs.
• Yema Caramel Cake – Perfect for those who love the smoothness of caramel combined with a bit of crunch, this Filipino favorite is made of a soft, moist white chiffon cake filled and covered with yema (Philippine custard) caramel filling and finished with toasted cashew nuts.
  
  

Snackable Pastries

• Butter Mamon – This exquisite pastry provides the perfect combination of moist chiffon and 100% butter for a melt-in-your-mouth treat. Not too sweet and delightfully tender, it's the all-time favorite of loyal Red Ribbon fans. Also available in Ube, Mocha, and Cheesy flavors.
• Cheesy Ensaimada – This 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 is generously filled with tender chicken and a unique blend of spices and deep-fried to a crisp golden brown – a fan-favorite.
  
  

Additional stand-out options for those who prefer chocolate:

• Black Forest Cake – This one is for the chocoholics! 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 delicious, 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.
