Mabuhay: A Sweet Taste of Home
"Mabuhay" is a Filipino greeting and expression that holds deep cultural significance in the Philippines. It is rich in meaning and often used to express goodwill, welcome, or a celebratory toast. It conveys joy, hope, pride, and hospitality. It’s an uplifting word that embodies the warmth and resilience of the Filipino spirit.
Our goal is to share the joy, warmth, and heritage of the Philippines, one silvana at a time. We envision a future where silvanas are not just a delicacy enjoyed on special occasions, but a beloved dessert found in homes and hearts around the world. By preserving traditional Filipino flavors and combining them with modern artisanal techniques, we aim to create a bridge between cultures, spark curiosity, and bring a sweet taste of home to Filipinos abroad and new fans everywhere.
Our Story
I started baking Silvanas not in a professional kitchen, but in the quiet corners of my home, driven by curiosity, creativity, and a craving for something that tasted like home. As a self-taught baker, there were no formal lessons, just trial and error, late nights, and a lot of love.
At first, I baked for my family and close friends. Silvanas were a sweet connection to my Filipino roots, a dessert so delicate yet bold, just like the culture it came from. Every batch became a labor of learning. I burned a few, cried over cracked ones, and celebrated the first time they came out just right.
Over time, baking Silvanas became more than a hobby. It became my passion and purpose. Each cookie I make is a piece of my story, handcrafted, heartfelt, and made to share the joy and comfort that only something homemade can bring.
