(SPOT.ph) Cakes never go out of style, but there are particular aesthetic cakes that have become especially popular lately. Often referred to as Korean minimalist cakes, these oh-so-aesthetic pastries often feature pastel colors and muted tones, with text and/or minimal accents such as flowers and pearls. Whether there's an occasion or you simply just want to have cake, here are a couple of minimalist-cake delivery services in and around the Metro, or that allow you to arrange for delivery of great eats straight to your doorstep. Yup, no need for travel.
