Make & Take: Ube Cake — Modern Filipino Layered Style with Chef Audrey

Ube doesn't just taste beautiful. It looks it too — that deep purple, those layered textures, the golden crunch of toasted pinipig between the tiers. This is Filipino baking at its most joyful, and tonight you make it yourself.

Chef Audrey walks you through the full process, step by step. You're not watching a demonstration — you're building your own cake from the moment you walk in to the moment you carry it home.

What you'll do:

Make ube halaya from scratch — the real Filipino ube jam that gives this cake its depth of flavor and color. Toast pinipig, the crispy puffed rice flakes that add that signature crunch between the layers. Stack, frost, and finish your own 6-inch three-layer cake in a style that's modern, tall, and completely yours.

What you take home:

Your own fully decorated ube cake, boxed and ready. The recipe for ube halaya you can make again. Decorating skills that work on any layered cake going forward.

No experience needed — just curiosity and a love for something a little unexpected.

This is Filipino flavor done with intention. Bold, purple, crunchy, and worth every photo you're going to take of it.

Bring your wine. Bring your people. The ube is ready when you are.
