Mary Grace - Muntinlupa City, Philippines

As a child, Mary Grace was always thrilled to watch dough expand with a life of its own. Carrying this fascination into motherhood, Mary Grace followed her heart’s desire and off she went to the US for a hands-on course on baking. She plunged her hands into huge bowls of rye and sourdough bread and after months of training, came home to harness all she had learned to perfect her own formula for a local delicacy, an ensaymada with just the right texture and flavor. After bouts of tears and frustration, she hit Eureka! To this day, Mary Grace has been delighting customers with ensaymadas of consistent quality and just-baked-freshness.
