Known for her ethereal naked cakes and innovative bespoke creations, Sycip’s solid Manila following despite being based in Silang, Cavite speaks for the quality of her confections. You would have never guessed that she has always worked professionally in a hot kitchen (La Regalade) and did not put on her pastry chef hat until she retired from hotelier life (as F&B director of Discovery Primea) and started her baking business (Flour Pot Manila) while also being in charge of desserts at TheFatted Calf, her farmhouse restaurant in Silang with husband, chef Jayjay Sycip.
