Video Recipe: Bibingka by Wyliepalooza

Growing up in a customary Filipino family, Cassandra Salimeno’s first exposure to baking was a little more involved than Funfetti cake and an Easy-Bake Oven. Instead, the Wyliepalooza owner learned to confect treats true to her roots, like bibingka, a sticky rice cake she ate incessantly at family gatherings as a child. “There are typically three things around when Filipinos get together: rice, bibingka, and karaoke.” Here, Salimeno puts a spin on her grandmother’s original recipe.
