Starting with just cake pops, The Lollicake Factory has grown into a pastry business that offers a variety of delicious and crave-worthy sweets.
“We now do fully styled dessert buffets and offer venue styling packages for small events,” announces actress-turned-entrepreneur LJ Moreno-Alapag who started her cake pops business in 2011 out of her frustration in finding out that no local bakeshops, not even online cupcake makers, sold cake lollipops in the Philippines.
Besides its basic lollicakes and the cutest customized lollicakes, The Lollicake Factory now also makes customized birthday cakes, cupcakes, cakes in a jar and butter cookies.

“We also offer lollicake decorating station for kids’ parties or company events. We will soon be offering school party packages that include savory meals as well,” adds the former preschool teacher.
The Lollicake Factory’s deliciously moist cake balls in signature designs are handcrafted with love and covered in candy melts. Lollicake flavors include LJ’s favorite red velvet, buttercream, chocolate, mocha, cookies and cream, cheesecake, peanut butter, chocnut, dulce de leche, carrot cake, and the newest lollicake flavor, lemon.
Husband Jimmy Alapag’s favorite flavor is buttercream but without the chocolate coating.
“Jimmy doesn’t each much chocolate so he prefers eating the lollies before they get coated,” says LJ, who tests out new lollicake flavors in her home kitchen before teaching her bakers the perfect recipe.
Before LJ and Jimmy tied the knot in California, she tasted her first red velvet cake lollipop at the bakeshop where she ordered her wedding cake. After the first bite, LJ was instantly hooked. Craving for the cake pop back in Manila and not finding one anywhere, LJ did some research and tried to make one on her own. It turned into an enjoyable hobby and LJ baked them for herself and for family and friends who spread the word around that her lollicakes were heavenly.
The Lollicake Factory is at G/F 103 Westdale Residences, West Capitol Drive, Brgy. Kapitolyo, Pasig City and at 2/F Robinsons Magnolia (in front of Toys R’ Us), Dona M. Hemady Ave., Quezon City.
