OUR STORY
It started at the family table, at four in the afternoon.
Merienda — the afternoon pause for something sweet — was never optional in our house. The recipes in our kitchen today are the ones we grew up sharing.

The Merienda kitchen
VANCOUVER, BC
From one cake to a city's worth
What began as birthday cakes for cousins is now a kitchen that caters parties, fills freezers, and delivers to homes, weddings, and café counters across Metro Vancouver.
2019
The first order
A vintage chocolate cake for a neighbour's birthday — piped at the kitchen counter, delivered by hand.
2022
The bakery opens
A real kitchen, a small team, and a pastry case that sells out most afternoons.
Today
Cakes across the city
Custom orders, weddings, and wholesale cases for cafés — still baked like it's for family.

Baked like it's for family. Because it usually is.
Every cake is made to order — real butter, slow-steamed leche flan, ube halaya cooked the long way. Our entrées and frozen line are made the same way, then packed or flash-frozen at their best. No shortcuts.
When you order from Merienda, you're getting the same cake we'd put on our own table at four o'clock.
Have an occasion coming up? Let's bake for it.
