Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first. – Ernestine Ulmer
Everybody loves dessert. Period. Some people even prefers dessert over the main course. As a child, I began to like chocolates as a prize and something I should work hard for. The story of
Sweet Bella starts with
Cristina Santiago-Rivera and her passion for creating the most desirable dessert anyone can imagine.
Cristina “Tin Tin” Santiago-Rivera is an accomplished pastry chef and a very loving mother. She graduated from California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, USA and came back to Manila to follow the footsteps of her Dad,
Melo Santiago, the renowned restaurateur behind
Melo’s Steakhouse.
Sweet Bella Cafe, named after her only daughter, Isabella, began as a home based dessert bar in 2006. Since then, her fervour in making only the most delectable desserts and unforgettable experience to the palate led to the inception of Sweet Bella Desserts, now known as
Sweet Bella Café.
