Frequently Asked Questions

What’s all this?

Sweet Lorraine is a home-based bakeshop in Manila, Philippines. I’ve been baking for friends and family for years, taking orders during the holidays. Going full-time with this has given me the chance to do something I truly love for a living.

What’s so special about Sweet Lorraine?

All our products, from cupcakes to cookies and bars, are baked fresh in our home from the finest ingredients available- like French and Danish butter, pure Madagascar vanilla, Sri Lankan cinnamon, organic free-range eggs, Valrhona and Ghirardelli chocolate, and fresh local fruit. We use recipes developed through heavy testing- and we believe it’s this total commitment to excellent taste that sets us apart.

What’s with the minis?

Mini cupcakes have taken over the Bakeshop! As of February 2010, all our regular flavors are only available in mini-size. We think they’re perfect this way, offering you the perfect bite!

All your cupcakes are miniature?

No. Tres Leches Cupcakes and Dark Chocolate Decadence Cupcakes are both full-sized, and meant to be eaten with a spoon!

Do you make decorated or themed cupcakes?

Unfortunately, we don’t create themed cupcakes, nor do we make cupcake towers. We do include various sprinkles on our cupcakes if you request them.

Do you rent out cupcake towers?

We don’t currently have any cupcake towers for rent. Of course, if you have your own tower, you’re free to display the cupcakes on it.

How should I store your cupcakes, cakes and cookies?

Our products are meant to be enjoyed right away! If you need to, store them in an airtight container in a cool room or area. Please do not refrigerate or freeze our products unless specified on the box. More specific storage information is available on each of our product pages.

How do I order?

Because everything is baked fresh upon order from all natural ingredients, without preservatives or stabilizers, please order at least three days in advance. There is a minimum order of 12 cupcakes per flavor. The minimum doesn’t apply to our Tasting Sets (see below). To order right now, please fill out our Online Order Form!

What are Tasting Sets?

For a limited time, we’re offering special tasting sets of our various cupcake flavors. These are available only every Friday- and flavors change every week! We are no longer offering Tasting Sets.

Do you deliver?

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer delivery. All orders must be picked up in Pacific Village, Alabang. Please contact us if you have specific questions.
