What's a minimalist cake and where to get them

By Maine Aquino

If you've never heard of a minimalist cake, then you should know that it is a Korean food trend that has reached the Philippine shores.

The reason it's called minimalist is because it is not big on food aesthetics, the type that makes you drool at the mere sight of its design. But what it lacks for arty-crafty makes for flavor!

Here are a few stores where you can get and try this newest quarantine food craze.
