Frank & Mike's

Frank and Mike's

Frank and Mike's Bakery is a home- based food business that offers quality and healthy baked products. Located at the heart of Quezon City, Philippines, we make premium cake loaves and specialty breads. 

Our products are inspired by the food and pastries that we personally love. The creation of each product has basis, a story that tells why it has become a staple on our own table. Our children Frank and Mike personally chose our bestseller, The Choconana. 

Why Banana Cake?

First off, it is cake, because we want it moist like any cake we know. Our family has this habit of bringing home a roll or a whole cake from our usual weekend rendezvous, and that's what we indulge in for the week. But as we know, commercial cake is packed with sugar and flavorings, so later on, we found it unhealthy. At the same time, our kids are growing and in need of proper nutrition in which they can still enjoy being a sweet tooth.

The easiest way to go about it, is to combine fruit and basic cake recipe, and banana being a staple in our home, became the main ingredient.

It was because of our children, Frank & Mike why banana cake became the star of our line of products. They are very particular with the taste and texture. They tried  banana cakes or bread in particular, sold by famous coffee shops and dessert shops, but they still prefer homemade. This has become the whole family's favorite. 

Why choose Frank & Mike's, the very core and reason why we made this business remained intact. The main purpose has always been for the family. Every now and then, we make loaves and serve them on our own table. It is simply, embracing what we love as a family, what makes us happy, healthy and then share it with you.

Moving forward as a business, our focus is to serve affordable, quality and healthy food items. Products that we will most likely buy and enjoy as a consumer. It is reasonable, ingredients are not compromised and it is nutritious.

 We do not use extenders, preservatives and flavorings in our baked items.

Changed by Covid- 19

The current health crisis was a challenge for all, it is life- changing for most. We felt the impact and immediately thought of ways on how to adjust and still thrive amidst the pandemic. The important thing for us now is to be able to offer food items that are easy on the pocket.  Thus, we changed our packaging to make our product more budget- friendly. What matters is our very foundation and mission remains solid so we can serve and provide.

Our business was never based online. We join bazaars in order to sell and personally bring our products to offices and small gatherings. There are still community bazaar options, fresh markets organized by private groups and we can still pursue our dream location but we also cannot risk the health of our family...

So this season, we decided to make Frank & Mike's function fully online.  We receive special calls, orders from our regular clients, but going all out public online with the huge amount of competitors is a different story and that itself is the challenge. We are confident with our loaves even with the booming amount of online sellers offering same line of products. It is how much you trust yourself, it is how much effort you put on being original and transforming simple things as your own that matters.

In line of maintaining our tiny business, we are also juggling home-based schooling and work- from- home statuses. So we ask for a little patience and understanding if we can't answer an inquiry immediately. We really appreciate the support and interest you guys put in. Whether you are buying or not, it motivates us to keep the fire burning. It gives us a sense of direction and a clearer purpose even at this time of crisis.

One thing this pandemic has brought about is the huge amount of time spent at home with the family. We used that time to reinvent our small business and started experimenting on new products. Frank and Mike's opened in 2015, but it is only now that we were able to allot time to further expand our online content and that includes the creation of a website (and thanks to this food blog).
