How to Franchise Don Benito’s Cassava Cake

Cassava cake is a popular delicacy in different parts of the Philippines. Often served during gatherings particularly during fiesta, cassava cake is also a common homecoming treat or “pasalubong” item. Because of this, many Filipino entrepreneurs have ventured into cassava cake business, whether home-based or brick and mortar.

Don Benito’s, one of the most popular stores selling cassava cake in the country, is a family heritage business that started back in 2008. A year prior to its launching, Karlo Benito Cruz’ father started a “Ree Chichie Cassava Cake”, a cassava cake business located in Visayas Avenue in Quezon City.

Cruz, who just passed the bar exam when his father’s business started, realized his passion for business. With the permission of his father, Cruz used his family’s secret recipe and put up Don Benito’s Cassava Cake Store in Marilao, Bulacan. Aside from cassava cakes, the store also offers other Pinoy delicacies like pichi-chi and other items such as coffee, iced tea as well as sago’t gulaman.

Both family businesses successfully worked because they catered to different markets.

To date, Don Benito’s Cassava cake offers four different flavors of cassava including Original Cassava Cake flavor topped with melted cheese, Langka Flavor, Macapuno Flavor and Mais Flavor.
