“We started our Whole Community Cakes initiative as a small way to honor our community and show support for the diversity that exists within it,” Corynn Coscia of The Bakehouse wrote in an email to A4.
“For AAPI Heritage Month, I chose ube and pandan, two ingredients used abundantly in Southeast Asian cuisine, as a way to honor my Japanese grandmother and several people I hold dear in my heart. The flavors blend seamlessly with our chiffon cake, lending a coconut-y, buttery vanilla flavor to the overall cupcake.”
