AAPI Pastry Stars Take Over East Village

San Diego‘s dessert scene is about to reach new heights as the AAPI Chefs Bake Sale brings together six absolutely amazing pastry chefs for what might just be the most delicious event of the year.

This Friendly Feast extravaganza at Cowboy Star isn’t just another bake sale—it’s a full-on dessert celebration that’s bound to make hearts (and taste buds) dance!

Box of Wonders

Get ready for a treasure chest of treats. Each box is packed with six mind-blowing creations, including an ube coconut crumb doughnut that’s pure magic, a Valrhona chocolate cannelé that’ll transport you straight to pastry heaven, and a “Flandan tart” that’s about to become your new obsession.

The dream team behind these delights? Local superstars Alyssa Alcantara, EJ Kim from The Cakery, Faye Rodriguez of Faye’s Desserts, Jamie Decena from Cowboy Star, Jose Alonzo III from Nine-Ten, and Kris Saradpon from Southwestern College.

A Sweet Cause

This sugar-coated celebration isn’t just about satisfying cravings—every $45 box sold helps power the dreams of future culinary stars through the Friendly Feast scholarship fund and supports the Pacific Arts Movement.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2022, this event has become the crown jewel of the Friendly Feast calendar.

See you there!

The AAPI Chefs Bake Sale hits San Diego’s dessert scene on Sunday, November 17, from 10 AM to 11:30 AM at Cowboy Star (640 10th Ave) in East Village.

Pre-orders open Thursday, November 7, on the Friendly Feast website here. No door sales available, so don’t snooze on this sweet opportunity.

Follow Friendly Feast on Instagram and Facebook.

See you there, San Diego!
