The Filipino bakery Red Ribbon Bakeshop Inc. opened its 39th U.S. location and third New York-area location on Jan. 27 at 5212 Kings Highway in Brooklyn.
Red Ribbon was founded in the Philippines over four decades ago and is best known for its Mango Supreme Cake, a three-layer white chiffon cake with fluffy cream and a golden mango glaze between each layer, which is then topped with mango chunks and a maraschino cherry. It also offers other Philippines delicacies including Ube Overload Cake, Yema Caramel Cake and Butter Mamon.
Red Ribbon also creates snacks including Cheesy Ensaimada – a soft, moist bread is topped with butter, sugar, and cheese – and Chicken Empanada – a savory pastry dough is filled with tender chicken and deep-fried to a crisp golden brown. The Brooklyn stores joins the brand’s locations in the Woodside section of Queens and Jersey City, New Jersey.
“Red Ribbon’s delicious cakes and pastries are what make holidays, family gatherings, and special occasions feel complete for many of our fans,” said Donnie Reyes, vice president of Red Ribbon Bakeshop. “We love knowing that our delicious treats play even a small role in bringing people together, and we are excited to introduce our unique twist on traditional bakery items to those who live, work and play in the beautiful borough of Brooklyn.”
